Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 102



The days passed very quickly in the midst of being busy. Wang Xiujin received a letter from Li Sushan in the capital. After reading the contents of the letter, he felt that he had a special crow's mouth, and whatever he said casually could actually come true. Li Sushan must be in a bad mood.After writing the reply letter to Li Sushan, he was sent away immediately.It has been more than a month since I received a reply letter, and Wang Xiujin is busy with the second rice harvest.People in Wang Village watched Wang Xiujin and others harvesting rice in the field, their eyes widened. They actually harvested rice, and it looked like a lot.As for whether the rice is crab rice, no one cares. The first season can be used to grow crab rice, and the second season rice is cheaper than crab rice, but it is a profit.Everyone in the village wanted to ask Wang Xiujin how to plant two seasons, but even if they couldn't see Wang Xiujin, they could do it with their servants.

Some people think that this kind of thing belongs to the same village, and Wang Xiujin will not hide it, but they forget that Wang Xiujin didn't even sign the deed for next year's grain harvest with them, so how could he tell them how to plant two crops of rice? .

Zhao Si didn't know much about farming, but it was the first time he heard that rice can be planted for two seasons. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and the person who planted it was Wang Xiujin, if it was someone else, even if he saw the rice harvesting with his own eyes, he would You will wonder if the other party is lying, and whether there is something tricky in it.Zhao Si immediately sent a letter to the capital, informing his father of such a miraculous event, which also included a letter, Wang Xiujin provided all the records from the first season of breeding to the second season of harvest, of course, it was also highlighted factor of weather.To put it bluntly, two crops of rice can be tried in the south, but it will not work in the north.

In the capital city, the emperor opened the letter his son gave him. After reading it, he looked serious, and immediately opened the second letter enclosed in the letter. The expression on his face was still serious, but his eyes were already narrowed, with a smile on his face . "Shangshu of the Xuanhu Department."

Hubu Shangshu came very quickly, and after paying a big gift, he took the letter from the eunuch that the emperor asked him to read, and almost didn't jump up.Old Shangshu frowned. He wasn't excited because the variety of fields could fill the granary, but... "Your Majesty, two seasons of rice seeding are against the harmony of heaven. This person should be punished."

"..." The emperor's kindness disappeared because of a sentence from Shangshu, "In my opinion, the one who should be punished is not someone else, but you. The common people are still looking for ways to produce more food. If the granary stores more grain, its heart should be punished." Following the words of the emperor, the paperweight jade flew to the Minister of the Household.The Hubu Shangshu didn't know if his instinctive reaction was too fast, he forgot who the person sitting on it was, and he actually took a step back. It seemed that he didn't react right after he retreated, and he moved forward again, but his movements had already He angered the emperor and directly ordered people to fork it down.

Hubu Shangshu was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The master of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the shopkeeper, looked at the locked Shang Shule, "Master Shangshu, we are uncomfortable in this prison, and you are being wronged." Asking the household department whether they have no money or no money, they put up with it, but as long as the officials who enter the household department can change from green onions to cabbage in a short time, isn't it a bit too much.

The people from the Ministry of Punishment are quite efficient. The people from the Department of Accounting just heard the news and are thinking about how to rescue Shangshu from prison in the early morning tomorrow. , carried out more than 20 large boxes, and went to the secretary of the Ministry of Finance to go around. I don’t know which hand is diligent, and I don’t know where I touched it. I found a secret door. After entering and exiting, I didn’t find any money. However, the account books and letters that were taken out made the people in the Ministry of Punishment break out in cold sweat, and they didn't dare to go straight into the palace without any delay.

If it was someone else, it would not be so easy to enter the palace, but this person who is on duty in the Ministry of Punishment is the grandson of the emperor's uncle, so it is still a bit more flexible to hand over the waist card and enter the palace to face the saint.After a while, a little eunuch ran over to welcome the lord into the palace, while walking, he hinted to the lord that the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, and he would pay attention later.The lord responded, and casually gave a purse, but the little eunuch didn't refuse, and put it away carefully.

"Uncle Huang, this is something that was collected in the dark room of Mr. Liu's house." After entering the imperial study room, after paying a big gift, he presented the things that were collected from the house of the Minister of the Household Department.The eunuch on one side presented the account books and several letters to the imperial case.The emperor first flipped through the account book, then took a letter casually, opened it and glanced at it, and then heard a "touch", and slammed his fist heavily on the imperial case.

The emperor never expected that he just invited the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask about the promotion of the two-season rice, but he did not expect such a big commotion to arise.Not to mention being greedy for money, he actually collaborated with the enemy and took my silver and gave it to the barbarians.The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to tear him into pieces.

The vicissitudes of the capital city cannot be felt far away in Wuxian County. Wang Xiujin rejected all the inquiries in the village, and the reply was unified. The matter has been reported to the court.After the villagers learned the answer, they didn't say any more, but they were still unwilling to do so.The clansmen who branched out didn't care at all. They were busy rushing to build the ancestral hall before the year before. On the first day of the new year, they hoped to worship their ancestors in the new ancestral hall.

In terms of helping, they really didn't do much work, but they were still full of energy.Seeing that the tall house has taken shape little by little, a sense of pride wells up in my heart. Their ancestral hall is much better than the ones in the village, and even better than their home.When building the ancestral hall, everyone was also thinking about who would guard the ancestral hall, and they must be loyal and honest.

The ancestral hall was built very quickly. In addition to the team drawn by Zhao Si, the villagers who came to help were also nimble. The ancestral hall was built just after the twelfth lunar month.Wang Huanzhi wrote a plaque for the ancestral hall... Wang Clan Ancestral Hall.The ancestor's tablet has not been moved into the ancestral hall, and the plaque is wrapped in black cloth and hung on the door.

The people in the village looked at the ancestral hall from a distance, and it was false to say that they were not envious. Some people regretted it secretly, some people were angry with those who were able to divide the clan together, and there were those who said sour words, but they were criticized by everyone .What is it just a place for memorial tablets? What's the use of building it so well. "Fuck you, it's the ancestors, don't you worry about being punished by your old man at night if you say that?"

When the news spread to the villagers of the branch sect, they wished to draw a clear line with the other side immediately.Wang Xiujin was very glad to hear that, it is good to have a branch earlier.Please ask someone to calculate the date, and ask for the ancestor's spirit tablet on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the morning, all the men who were separated from the clan, regardless of age, were dressed in filial piety. When they went to the old ancestral hall, they kowtowed first, and then Wang Huanzhi picked up the tablet of their great-grandfather. People stepped forward... Wang Huanzhi held the tablet and saluted the ancestors again, and then walked out, one by one, when Wang Huanzhi reached the gate of the ancestral hall, the sound of cannons sounded, all the way continued until the tablet was invited outside the new ancestral hall.Raising his hand and tearing off the black cloth that had previously covered it, Wang Huanzhi murmured something before striding into the ancestral hall.

The new members of the Wang clan kowtowed in front of their ancestors, offered incense to their ancestors, put good sacrifices in the copper basin, and kowtowed again.After cleaning his hands, Wang Huanzhi began to write a new genealogy.Different from the old genealogy, the new one added the name of a female daughter. In addition, Wang Huanzhi listed more than a dozen family rules, each of which was strict, but no one objected.After Wang Huanzhi wrote the genealogy and offered it on the altar, the high incense in the incense burner floated out in the shape of a lotus flower, which was very eye-catching.

After the division was officially completed, Wang Huanzhi did not immediately open the door of the school, but re-planned it. There must be a distinction between clansmen and outsiders. Although their family is not short of rice, they cannot give some artificial ingredients. The illusion of too much difference.

Wang Xiujin didn't know his father's plan, he was preparing things for Zhao Si to go back to Beijing, because Zhao Si had been procrastinating on the matter of branching the clan, and he didn't set off to return to Beijing in the twelfth lunar month, now that he has finished arranging the matter of the workshop in the city, He could no longer delay returning to Beijing, and Zhao Si never waited for his father's reply, and he was always thinking about it.

After seeing off Zhao Si, a team of relatives came from the capital, led by Master Chun's eldest son.Young Master Chun was selected as a Jinshi in his early years, but he did not enter the court as an official.Wang Xiujin helped the elder brother to arrange the sending team to live in the city, and he also helped the elder sister to prepare things for the New Year's gift, and he also had to attend to the wedding.In a few days, the person lost a lot of weight, and passed out.

Wang Xiujin's dizziness frightened the family members. Wang Xiubo postponed his business and invited a doctor from the clinic to go straight home. Wang Xiuyun took care of his younger brother carefully. Mrs. Wang could only act in a hurry. As for Master Wang, he also looked anxious. Stay at the door.

The doctor took a sip of tea to calm his breath, and went to check Wang Xiujin's pulse. After a while, he let go of his hand, and when he looked up, he saw the anxious eyes of the whole family, "I'm overworked and overthinking. I can wake up after giving the needle. I need to rest for a few more days." The doctor opened the bag he carried with him, took out a long needle from it, and administered it to Wang Xiujin.After the needle was taken out, Wang Xiujin also opened his eyes and blinked, why are there so many people in the room.

Seeing that Wang Xiujin had woken up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Xiuyun's tears were streaming down her cheeks. Mrs. Wang also wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Wang Huanzhi let out a sigh of relief and left with her hands behind her back.Wang Xiubai followed the housekeeper to send the doctor back to the clinic, and then turned around and entered his younger brother's yard.Because of his younger brother's ability, he ignored his younger brother's age before, and slapped his forehead fiercely in annoyance.

"Brother, rest at home from now on, and don't worry about other things." Wang Xiubo patted his younger brother's hand lightly, "Just wait for the big brother to have a wedding on the wedding day."
