Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 96 About marriage, this is a famous lady!

Zhang Guoji said: "The discussion is that not long ago, she was promoted to the right servant of the Northern Army, the fourth daughter of Shang Ming, a nobleman in eastern Zhejiang, and a businessman."

Beibing is the military department in the capital, which is usually distinguished from the military department in Nanjing. The military department of the capital will be called Beibing, and sometimes it is called Benbing.

After Zhang Guoji said this, Han Gui also replied with a smile from the side: "Uncle Shang Shi is a student of my father, Enfu can rest assured that the girls in his family are well-known in the local area for their talents, and they will not insult Enfu's noble status. "

Shang Mingjian is Shang Zhouzuo.

Zhang Gui knew a little about this man.

This man has two daughters who are indeed famous in history.

One is Shang Jinglan, the wife of a famous official Qi Biaojia.

A man named Shang Jinghui, according to historical records, Shang Jinghui has a national beauty, is erudite and works poetry, and his poetry is in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

And Shang Jinghui is the fourth daughter of Shang Zhouzuo.

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this, thinking that since he is famous in the annals of history, it shouldn't be bad.

"This is a lady from a famous family, not the famous prostitutes in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion! If it weren't for the great grace of the saints, choosing your sister to be the master of the palace, people like us can't afford it, even now it is because Yuanfu is someone else. Teacher, otherwise, people may not think highly of relatives from small families like us."

Zhang Guoji said to Zhang Gui, "Don't pick and choose!"

Zhang Gui clapped the folding fan in his hand: "I didn't pick and choose!"

As he said that, Zhang Gui glanced at Han Gui, and said in his heart, "This is a good move by the Han family to let their son join their sect, and let their disciples marry their relatives! My father would agree. Xin The powerful and powerful forces are gradually forming."

"It's fine if you don't."

As Zhang Guoji said, he asked: "You must be more honest these days. Shanggong hasn't entered Beijing yet, so he has to go back to his hometown in Zhejiang and then take his daughter to the north. Don't wait until he comes to Beijing and find out that you are doing mischief again. , broke up this marriage, dispelled Yuanfu's kindness, and left a rift between teachers and students."

"It depends on the dishonesty of some civil servants, but I can't do it alone."

Zhang Gui replied.

……

Shang Zhouzuo, governor of Fujian, is on his way back to his hometown at this time, and he is both happy and worried.

The joy is that because my mentor became the first assistant, now I have also been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War, crossing a very important threshold in the career path, and finally became the official of the Six Departments.

You know, most of the civil servants at the governor level can only be transferred around in the governor's office all their lives. Impossible.

But Shang Zhouzuo was worried that his mentor Han Yu first showed his favor to him, and it was not without conditions. The condition was that his disciple marry a foreign relative, and that he marry his daughter to the current imperial uncle.

But he heard people say that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the dynasty, was domineering and arrogant, so he was a little worried that if he obeyed his teacher's order, his fourth daughter would be harmed.

But these days, the teacher-student relationship is a very important human relationship, and Shang Zhouzuo is not easy to refuse, but because of this, he pays special attention to the comments about the uncle Zhang Gui these days.

He already knew through the "Di Bao" that Uncle Zhang Guo came to the south of the Yangtze River to pursue Fu Fu as the admiral of Xichang. What Guihe Xichang did in Jiangnan.

In fact, Shang Zhouzuo was very resistant to the fact that the West Factory came to East Zhejiang to collect taxes, and he was also very worried that these factory guards would come to the place, relying on the imperial power to charter, and extort money.

Because in his impression, although eastern Zhejiang is a rich and prosperous place, in fact, many refugees have starved to death.

Bureaucrats, subordinate officials, and evil gentry have long forced many state capitals to lay waste to their land, and even blocked business travel. Many originally prosperous towns have also declined due to government exploitation.

Therefore, he worried that after Xichang also came, it would make eastern Zhejiang worse, and maybe there would be another large-scale Japanese riot in the Jiajing period.

However, Shang Zhouzuo has not entered Zhejiang yet.

He is still in Fujian and is going to Xianxia Pass.

But along the way, Shang Zhouzuo had already seen many refugees heading towards Xianxia Pass, and some of them fell down while walking.

Shang Zhouzuo was already used to this, and he had seen many such refugees along the way.

It was the same scene as when he came to Fujian to take office.

Shang Zhouzuo felt a little guilty because of this, and secretly lamented that as the former governor of Fujian, he was not very good at governing Fujian.

After arriving in a county near Zhejiang, Shang Zhouzuo saw that there were still piles of beggars in the county, filthy everywhere, and some small traders passing by were being chased and beaten by officials, but some giant merchants Jia walked in and out of the county with ease, without being stopped for questioning.

Shang Zhouzuo felt more and more that he, the former governor of Fujian, was incompetent, and what worried him even more was whether the Zhezhi area with the participation of Xichang would be worse, with more refugees, and ordinary merchants would be even more unable to do business.

For a while, when we arrived at Xianxiaguan, the only way from Fujian to Zhejiang, Shang Zhouzuo found that the number of refugees here had decreased significantly.

"Hey, why are there no refugees?"

But when Shang Zhouzuo returned to eastern Zhejiang, he found that in his area of ​​Shaoxing in eastern Zhejiang, there were almost no refugees starving to death.

After entering a town, Shang Zhouzuo found that there were a large number of small stalls and hawkers, and large and small cargo ships gathered along the river, and there was hardly a single official post. Pay taxes there.

Shang Zhouzuo also discovered at this time that the streets in the Jiangnan town he was passing by at this time were also very tidy, and there were even old women cleaning the streets with cloth strips embroidered with the word "Environmental Sanitation" on their sleeves.

Seeing this, Shang Zhouzuo didn't ride the pole anymore, and ordered his servants to put him down, and walked to the tax collection gate of Xichang, and asked a peddler, "What are you selling?"

The peddler smiled and said, "Go back to the master, Caomin sells some oil."

Shang Zhouzuo nodded, and asked again: "There is an official school in Xichang here, aren't you afraid that they will extort money?"

"Returning to this master, your accent sounds like our local, but your eyes seem to be from other places. It is because of the soldiers from the West Factory that the grassroots dare to come here to sell oil. Otherwise, how dare you come? Those who are afraid of being exploited by officials will not be able to keep their books."

The peddler replied.

Shang Zhouzuo felt very strange after hearing this, and asked again: "Why do you dare to sell oil here because the official school of Xichang is here?"

"Because all the officials who come from the county to eat and drink cards will be executed by the soldiers of Xichang on the grounds of disrupting the commercial order, and the bullies who buy and sell by force will also be executed by the soldiers of Xichang on the grounds of disrupting the commercial order. Execution, the soldiers of the West Factory will organize people to clean the streets to facilitate our business, so if there is a place in the West Factory, we are naturally willing to do business."

The peddler replied.

Shang Zhouzuo nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "Where have all the beggars and refugees here gone?"

　I wrote more than 4000 words for a long time, and I didn’t write the climax part I planned to write, so I might as well add one more chapter, so there is another chapter next
