he white hand that clenched the cuff slightly revealed his uneasiness.outside the car, Chen Xiaozong and his wife stopped in front of the carriage and arched their hands. Wen Sheng said to the car, "S...Jiangnan, Songjiang Prefecture, Huating County.

at dusk, Chen Xiaozong finished his last case, changed into a suit, and took two entourage out of the county government.

June tail is the hot summer season, even if the sun has gone down, it is still muggy here like a steamer.

Chen Xiaozong shook the folding fan with one hand and wandered to the street where Xufu was located like a walk in the leisure court.

two camphor trees have been planted in front of Xufu for some years, with luxuriant branches and leafy leaves, two old men playing chess under the tree, surrounded by several old men and urchins.

"Oh, here comes the magistrate again!"

when Chen Xiaozong appeared, a urchin called out with a smile on his face.

all the old men looked up together, recognized Chen Xiaozong, immediately found an excuse to break up, and took away their grandson.

in the twinkling of an eye, there was only a lean old man with sparse hair and two six or seven-year-old children left under the tree.

this is the son of the Xu family. The lean old man waved to them: "go in, all go in."

the two children stared at Chen Xiaozong and left obediently.

Chen Hsiao-tsung has approached, sat down very well opposite the old man, looked at the chessboard, and then smiled and said to the old man, "is the master trying to make the neighbors happy in such a simple chess game"

the old man: "they are happy, I am happy, each has his own happiness."

Chen Xiaozong: "then I will accompany my teacher Gongle."

with that, he picked up the sunspot and went on with the existing chess game.

the old man glanced at him and played chess silently.

it was such a long game that it was dark by the end of the game.

Chen Hsiao-zong sighed, "Jiang is still old and spicy. Don't talk about me. Even if my father comes, he has to be defeated by the master."

Old Man: "your father is much better than you, and I am not as good at chess as he is."

there was a sudden gust of wind in the alley, and the camphor leaves above his head shook. Chen Hsiao-tsung looked up and smiled at the old man: "playing chess also pays attention to the harmony of heaven, earth and people. My father's chess skill is not as good as yours. He occasionally wins two games and takes advantage of other aspects."

the old man touched his beard and smiled, "you can talk better than your father."

Chen Xiaozong: "he is still strong, otherwise he could not have won your favor. Without your promotion and cultivation, my father would not have been relegated to anywhere."

the old man glanced at his stomach: "have you eaten" Why don't you have a home-cooked meal with me "

Chen Xiaozong: "the teacher still loves me. I came here at this time just to rub against you for a meal!"

the old man shook his head.

Chen Hsiao-zong came around, helped the old man up like his own grandfather, and walked into Xufu as he knew his way.

it can be said that since he came to work in Huating County, he has been running to Xufu every day. If Xufu hadn't kept him for the night, he would have been able to eat and live here.

Xu's cook prepared two meat, two vegetables and one soup, which is not much, but he is very particular about all kinds of color, flavor and taste.

Chen Xiaozong said contentedly, "my father still loves me and let me come to your side to enjoy myself. Like my eldest brother, there is certainly no such good food in Guangdong."

the old man: "there are soil and water in different places, and there are also local famous dishes in Guangdong."

Chen Xiaozong: "Master knows a lot. Can you tell me about it"

the old man told him some delicacies of Guangdong territory while he was having dinner.

Chen Xiaozong listened with relish.

the old man's eyes kept scanning Tanhua Lang's somewhat familiar handsome face, and suddenly said, "the summer rice harvest is coming soon. Are you really in no hurry at all"

the court carried out the New deal, and the magistrates in the surrounding counties were already busy. Only Chen Xiaozong, who arrived at the end of January, came to him almost every day, but never once mentioned the New deal.

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

in terms of patience, he thinks he will not lose a younger generation, but Chen Xiaozong is so leisurely that the old man is afraid that young people will suddenly strike hard at the critical moment, leaving no leeway for both sides.

just because Chen Hsiao-zong smiles, he doesn't really think that he hasn't done anything ruthlessly.

Chen Hsiao-tsung smiled even better when he heard this. While scooping Baiyu tofu for the old man, Chen Hsiao-tsung said confidently, "with your help, I don't have to worry."

Old Man: "what can I do for you"

Chen Xiaozong: "you are the richest man in Huating County, and you are also the leader of all the great families in southern Zhili. As long as you are willing to cooperate with the new policy, who dares to pass the buck"

the old man hung down his eyelashes and bowed his head to eat tofu.

now that Chen Hsiao-tsung mentioned this, Chen Hsiao-tsung said with a smile, "when my father first sent me here, I was in a hurry. I was afraid that you wouldn't let the Xu family pay land taxes. I couldn't beat you. Wouldn't Laiman have become a bully to destroy his ancestors" My father scolded me severely for worrying about me blindly. He also said that when you were in the cabinet, you always put the emperor and the people first. The new policy is not only good for the people, but also good for the emperor. You can never object to it. "

the old man grinded his teeth several times and swallowed the tofu that could be melted in the entrance. As soon as he was about to open his mouth, Chen Hsiao-tsung's high hat came again: "I was scolded, and my father's words were really right. You are the first wise minister of this dynasty, and you are destined to accompany the emperors of the three dynasties to go down in history. It doesn't make sense for the old man to fight against the imperial court for that little land tax and lose the stigma for nothing, is it"

Old Man:...

Chen Hsiao-zong scooped another spoonful of tofu: "my father also said that you will celebrate your 80th birthday in October next year, and the emperor usually talks about you. When you celebrate your 80th birthday next year, the emperor will certainly give you a birthday letter. What an honor. When I saw that my father envied him, I quickly coaxed him that he could get this even when he was old. My father also said that he is not as virtuous as you, and it is impossible. "

Old Man:...

Chen Xiaozong: "by the way, next year's spring brother will take part in the spring festival, right" At that time, I will give you a top-notch Jinshi to come back and have a double happiness in a year! "

Chundi refers to the grandson of the Xu family.

Old Man:...

he took a deep look at Chen Xiaozong.

Chen Xiaozong: "come on, this tofu is delicious. Please eat more!"

Guangdong, capital of Guangzhou.

Summer rice was harvested earlier here, but there were not as many scholars as there were in the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Bozong suppressed all of them by force, which can be called an iron-blooded fist, directly suppressing the arrogance of the local scholars who tried to block the new policy.

it's just that this year is the first year of the implementation of the new policy. Big problems have been solved, but all kinds of minor problems have emerged one after another. Chen Bozong is still too busy to go out early and return late.

this evening, Chen Bozong returned to the Yamen of the governor's mansion and it was already dark.

an informant was waiting here a long time ago.

Chen Bozong retreated left and right, asked the informant to accompany him to sit down, and the two were chatting while eating.

at that time, the kings of Henan and Jingwang were defeated in Wuduoshan, leaving more than 20,000 troops, and the leading officers were all beheaded, but they were all young and middle-aged. It was a pity that they were killed in vain. The imperial court's solution was to tattoo them on their foreheads and distribute them to do hard labor.

the imperial court was short of labor every year, employed people to build the Great Wall at the border, dammed the two rivers, and used people to mine and mine everywhere. In addition to commandeering the common people, they sent prisoners to work.

under the covert instruction of Chen Tingjian, more than 20,000 troops were dispersed and distributed to five places.

it coincided with the discovery of a new iron ore mine in Guangdong that year, and the imperial court directly dispatched 8, 000 troops.

Chen Bozong wanted to check the evidence of Qi Jin's collusion with the enemy. In addition to sending someone to keep an eye on the 300 or so people who survived with Qi Jin and Jinwu avant-garde, Chen Bozong also had to contact the surrender troops on the rebel side.ptember 15, the Hou Fu of Jing'an sent an invitation to Huayang in advance to celebrate the full moon for Princess Nankang's eldest son.Huayang: "I don't want to go at all."Queen Qi: "Tien Ding Xi, if...
