General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 156
"Crane."

Zou Wang stepped ashore, and immediately looked at Zou Laihe.

Zou Laihe also got up from the ground.

"father!"

"Send someone to find Ning Qianxian, and report in detail how many fields our family has flooded, and the fields that have not been flooded, and all the royal relatives with the imperial court, to determine every minute and cent, and report to the Ming court!"

Whenever mentioning the imperial court, Zou Wang raised his hands above his head.

Finally, Zou Wang looked at Hua Linxiang and said loudly, "Haiyue!"

"Xishan has suffered such a catastrophe, Haiyue won't just stand on the shore and watch?"

Hua Linxiang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words.

"East Lake! I, my Hua family... can't compare to the Zou family."

"Then Haiyue can't watch our folks in Xishan suffer from hunger, right?"

Zou Wang had a smile on his face, but there was a killing intent in his eyes.

Hua Linxiang knew that Zou Wang was trying to drag him into the water as well.

"Let go! My Hua family and the Zou family have started releasing food together! Steam rice too! Folks are open to eat!"

Zou Wang didn't talk, and continued: "The folks in Xishan have had enough to eat, we must not forget God's grace!"

"My Zou family will pay half of Xishan's imperial food this year! How about Haiyue?!"

"Zou Donghu!" Hua Linxiang stared at Zou Wang furiously.

Zou Wang looked at Hua Linxiang with a smile on his face.

"Haiyue doesn't have to force it. My Zou family is weak, so I can only bear half of the royal rations."

"If the Hua family is really in trouble, my Zou family will bear half of the imperial rations, and I will explain the reason to the emperor in detail for the remaining half." After speaking, Zou Wang raised his hands above his head and cupped them again.

Hua Linxiang was about to shed tears.

You recognize half of the imperial food, and the other half is empty.

The memorial is handed over to the imperial court in this way, will the emperor scold you or send someone to raid my house?
"I've accepted the other half! My Hua family pledged to donate half!"

Without waiting for the court's reply, the people of Xishan have already been exempted from this year's imperial rations.

It's just that Zou Wang calculated the amount clearly.

Hua Linxiang wanted to take out this amount of food.

You have to be like yourself, relying on the accounts of those "nobles" in the capital.

And this is what Zou Wang really wants.

If there is only one Zou Wang in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be no Zou family if there is a trouble with Japanese pirates in Xishan.

If there were three Zou Wangs in the south of the Yangtze River, then the nobles would have to decide which one to kill first.

If there were a thousand Zou Wangs in the south of the Yangtze River, then it would not be certain who would kill who.

this afternoon.

Zou Wang, who had "resurrected from the dead", brought more than 60 local gentry from Xishan to the Wuxi County Government Office.

"Ning Qianxian! Open the door! We are here to lead you to reclaim the fields. Don't miss out on the imperial court's errand. This errand requires manpower!"

Gu Qingnong, who was standing in the yamen, said softly through the door: "Mr. Zou, don't wait, Ning Qianxian has something to do."

At the same time, in the classroom outside the county government.

Ning Jue stood outside a classroom with a mournful face and kept knocking on the door.

"Da Linzi, open the door for me, let's discuss it carefully."

"Ning Qianxian, I've never heard of you doing this. I'll reward you... No, you entrusted a humble official to collect the money for you. How can you ask for it back?"

"Is two taels and eight dollars worth it? I can't live without money when I'm away from home! A poor family gets rich..."

"I'm poor too."

After Zhu Yinlin in the classroom dropped a word, there was no further movement.

Ning Jue's heart was like a galloping horse, how could this guy look exactly like that big nephew in his palace!
-
A memorial from Zou Wang was sent directly to the capital.

Hua Linxiang and Zou Wang not only provided disaster relief for the imperial court in Xishan, but also recognized this year's imperial food for the people of Xishan.

It was something unheard of since ancient times.

Jiajing also generously rewarded Zou Wang with the title of Wailang, a member of the household department, and Hua Linxiang was also bestowed with an eighth-rank crown.

The originally raging floods in the south of the Yangtze River disappeared invisible amid the grinding teeth of all the important ministers.

Yan Song took the imperial decree in recognition of Zou Wang and went to Chengtianmen to do business.

And Yan Shifan followed behind Yan Song's ass and said repeatedly: "Father, I discovered another big thing recently."

"Say."

Yan Song said so, but his footsteps did not stop.

"If Zhou Shangwen still has trouble with you in the next court meeting, we have a new method of scolding."

"When my son discovered this curse, it was the most unpleasant to listen to a word with a flat tone and a flat tone."

"The word "Old Paradox" is unpleasant to hear. According to my son, it is especially refreshing to directly replace the word "Parallel" with the word "Deng"."

"Next time, if Zhou Shangwen dares to act recklessly again, my son will directly call him an old man."

Yan Shifan said "Old Deng" one by one, and Yan Song couldn't help turning black. He always felt that this guy was scolding him, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.

At this time, Wang Shizhen, who had just got up from the concubine's bed, finally came to Chengtian Gate.

In front of all the officials outside Chengtian Gate.

Wang Shizhen stood under the carriage alone, while the coachman of the Wang family stood on the carriage, and poured a bucket of clear water on Wang Shizhen head-on.

The blue official robe was soaked in an instant.

"All of you are in the same year, all colleagues! Ji thinks that there are hungry people in the world, especially yourself who is hungry; Yu thinks that there are drowning people in the world, especially yourself!"

"Hunger and drown yourself, start from your own generation!"

Seeing this scene, even Yan Song and his son couldn't help being stunned.

Yan Song murmured subconsciously: "Qing'er, according to your method, what should this be called?"

Yan Shifan murmured involuntarily:
"Silly*."

Yan Song was deeply impressed, as if he had discovered a bright spot in his son.

"It's really refreshing."
-
Jinling Heming Tower.

Ruan Bi's heartbroken voice kept coming and going.

"Mr. Lu, I really didn't expect that Zou Wang hooked up with Mai Fu!"

"And that Hua Linxiang, who actually reneged on the debt with that Zou Wang, now we have become outsiders of Xishan instead!"

Lu Huaifeng sat by the window calmly and said leisurely: "We are in a panic, we are not at the end of the mountain, just a few things outside of us."

"It's okay."

Ruan Bi looked at Lu Huai suspiciously.

"Mr. Lu expected it long ago?"

Lu Huai nodded slightly.

"Zou Wang, how can we not be on our guard? We didn't expect Zou Wang to stop Li Tian's matter."

Ruan Bi couldn't help giving a thumbs up when he heard the words.

"Mr. Lu is worthy of being a saint's disciple, so brave!"

The voice did not fall.

The clerk of Heming Tower walked into the box.

"Gentlemen, our boss has ordered that this is the fee for the two of you in the Heming Tower..."

Ruan Bi glanced at Lu Huai at the guy.

The guy immediately understood, and then walked up to Lu Huai with the bill.

"Mr. Lu, is this a fee?"

The guy almost put the bill on Lu Huai's face.

Lu Huai glanced at Ruan Bi, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's just something outside of the body, just treat it as my invitation, and I'll send someone to bring the money later."

Ruan Bi opened his mouth after hearing this.

"Mr. Lu is big, let's eat, eat!"

"Xiao Er, good wine and good food, serve!"

"Here!"

After all, Ruan Bi started to eat without waiting for Lu Huai to move his chopsticks.

Until Ruan Bi was full of wine and food, he still gave Lu Huai his thumbs up again and again with drunken eyes.

"Mr. Lu is worthy of being a disciple of a sage, great! Great!"

Lu Huai gently waved his hand, signaling the Ruan family's followers to escort his master away.

As soon as Ruan Bi got into his carriage, most of the alcohol on his body had dissipated.

"Prepare the boat and go back to Wuhu. This is Zou Wang's account. Why can't we? Zou Wang will stand in front of us when the sky falls. Hurry up and go back to respond to the imperial court."

"Here."

Who let Zou Wang take the lead in breaking the rules?

When the sky fell, Zou Wang and the others supported it.

Inside the Heming Tower, after Ruan Bi left, Lu Huai still sat where he was.

The Lu family's book boy ran up to the box and looked at his master suspiciously.

"Master, let's..."

Before the book boy finished speaking, a "pop" sounded in the box, Lu Huai dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, and then cursed angrily with a livid face:
"My field!!!"

"Zou Wang, I *you* it!"

"After more than ten years of hard work, I only set up two thousand acres of land, and you swallowed it all!"

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" There were several more sounds in the box.

The guy from Heming Tower stood at the door, looking at Lu Huai with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What do you see? Do you think I can't afford to pay?!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Huai raised his plate and wanted to smash it.

"No, the small one is just a reminder. A set of teacups in a small shop costs two taels of silver. These are 14 taels of silver just now. You are a regular customer. If you touch the small one for zero, ten taels of silver will be enough."

Ten taels of silver is enough to buy half an acre of land.

"Why don't you know how to rob?"

The clerk could only look at Lu Huai with a helpless smile and said, "It's the master's order. Others bought a set of two coins. Mr. Lu is a noble person, so naturally the ones you use are more expensive."

After Lu Huai heard this, he resentfully took the teacup back in his hand.

"Go home and smash it!"

The shopkeeper of Heming Tower sent Lu Huai out of the store with his staff, and before leaving, he still said in unison: "Mr. Lu is welcome to come next time."

Lu Huai got into the carriage resentfully.

Just as the carriage drove into the Heming Tower, a cruise ship also sailed into Jinling at Shuixi Pass.

"Old ancestor, counting the days, Zou Yuanwai's performance should have arrived in Beijing."

Mai Fu slightly nodded: "Succeed, tell Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces that our family has already prepared the most difficult task for them, and they just follow suit."

"Here."

Zou Wang is just a sample of Jiajing playing in the south of the Yangtze River.

The reform is essentially the redistribution of wealth, and by extension, it means breaking the old order and establishing a new one.

In short, it is to break the previous rules first.

But Zou Wang returned to Wuxi alive, and lived to blame the nobles.

This rule is also broken.

As long as Zou Wang lives.

Those merchants who have been cornered by the new law, and those nobles' agents in the rich and large counties, will join forces to follow suit, and everything will go wrong.

The nobles demolished the weir of the Zou family.

Zou Wang also personally demolished the long embankment of the nobles.

In order to protect themselves, these merchants will naturally spare no effort to clarify the acres of land in order to submit a certificate to the imperial court.

And these clarified fields really fell into their names.

With the cooperation of these ground snakes.

Only in Litian, a large county in those rich counties, can the imperial court truly go unimpeded.

The sky in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's really about to change.
