Peerless Pirates

Chapter Thirty-Nine

In fact, the literati in ancient China are quite interesting. Some literati lived in seclusion just to gain fame. Once these people really became officials, they worked hard and did not want to be left behind. Some people also lived in seclusion after losing the political struggle.

Trying to keep a low profile and make a comeback. This kind of thing has been common since ancient times. This is a bit like a prostitute. Before going to bed, she must pretend to be a good family, coquettishly, and welcome her when she wants to refuse. When it is time to do business, she screams louder than anyone else.

As for prostitutes, the imperial court still did this. However, Taizu Pang the Butcher of the Daqi Dynasty was much more powerful. He would first "call" you to hook up with him as a foreplay; if you don't

If you obey, then give the "order" and the overlord will force you to do it. When you taste the benefits of being an official, you will naturally be willing to "be prostituted". There will be a Zhu Yuanzhang in the later generations who is even more ruthless. Even if you never obey, he will be handcuffed and shackled first.

Put it on, and if you don't obey, your whole family will be killed. The great literati had no choice but to take off their clothes and wait on the bed.

"Surrogate father Ding You" is even more amazing. At least Song Zheng had never heard of it in his previous life. There was a saying of "stealing love" in the Ming Dynasty, but it was all targeted at court officials, and they had to be criticized by Youyou. The famous prime minister Zhang Juzheng "

When the Qi Dynasty was founded, it experienced a turmoil in Nuo Da. The Taizu of the Da Qi Dynasty created unprecedented achievements in history. At the beginning of the founding of the Da Qi Dynasty, there was an urgent need for talents, and it was not easy to get some literati to work as

However, some people were delayed in their official duties due to the death of their parents. To put it into perspective, if an official's father and mother died one after another, it would take him fifty-four months, plus the back and forth, it would take five years to be unable to work.

To serve the court. Therefore, a certain powerful man proposed to Taizu the system of "surrogate father Dingyou", that is, after the death of the official's parents, he must stay in mourning for three months to fulfill the responsibilities of the son of man. Then he must take office and let himself

If you don't have a son, let your brother take his place. If you don't even have a brother, then there is no other way. You can only live in peace for twenty-seven months. Of course, this situation is rare. So.

The system of "Ding You on behalf of father" has greatly reduced the trouble of having no one available to the court.

Song Jue was surprised because "surrogate father Ding You" was relatively common in the first 20 to 30 years of the founding of the Qi Dynasty, and almost all officials had experienced it. However, as the Academy of Literature and the Academy of Martial Arts trained a large number of

Talents, this kind of situation is becoming less and less. In recent years, it has only appeared in a certain level of court officials and capable officials. Song Jue is just an ordinary Jinshi, but he enjoys this treatment. It is really surprising.

However, Song Zheng suddenly understood that the opponent's foothold was here, and the young man in white was undoubtedly Huang Song. Combined with Ding Yuan's previous theory of the great rise of Neo-Confucianism, Song Zheng understood that Huang Yuandu was working hard on Neo-Confucianism throughout the country, and Song Jue was urgently needed.

Such a master-level figure in Neo-Confucianism. Therefore, Huang Song poisoned Mr. Song, who was closely related to Old Man Gao, but kept other members of the Song family, just to let Song Jue contribute to Huang Yuandu. He was also plotted to replace Song Jue.

After Ding You and Song Zheng thought about it, they couldn't help but cursed Huang Yuandu and his son for killing me and asking his son to sacrifice his life. They were simply bad breeds with sores on their heads and pus on their soles. However, Song Zheng was thankful that he was completely safe.

, and also secretly warned that such an opponent would be too difficult to deal with.

Mr. Song died on August 23rd, and three months later it was November 23rd. It was close to the end of the year, and the liberal arts college was about to have a holiday. Therefore, the magistrate Hu expressed sympathy for Song Jue and allowed him to take office after the 15th day of the first lunar month next year.

.

After Yu Yuan expressed his condolences to Mr. Song, he congratulated Song Jue on his promotion to deputy general instructor. Finally, he said: "I and Mr. Hu are waiting for Brother Song in Mizhou." Song Yu received Song Zheng's advice and carried Song Jue on his back.

, gave Yu Yuan and the two gentlemen a few taels of silver as travel expenses, and Yu Yuan and others left happily.

In the past two months, the Song family has acquired land and property from wealthy families, and has become one of the richest families in Shishan Town. Song Jue was not good at handling family affairs, and he knew it, so he left everything to Wu and Song Yu. For the long-term,

After discussing the development plan with Song Yu and the Wu family, Song Zheng rented out all the land. The former long-time workers of the Song and Qian families also got the land and became tenants of the Song family. The rent was uniformly equal to 40% of the land income. This

Many tenants were overjoyed, because in other villages, the rent was 50% or even 60%. In order to prevent Zheng Dekui from being dissatisfied, Song Yu also sold the 100 acres of fertile land that originally belonged to a wealthy family at 30% off the market price.

To Zheng Dekui, the condition was that if the Zheng Dekui family's land was rented out, the rent must be 40%. Zheng Dekui got the land cheaply and his income increased, so he naturally agreed very happily.

After that, Song Yu also moved out of the thatched hut at the foot of the West Mountain and moved into the house of Qian Youcai's family. Qi'er also moved into Qian's house secretly. As for the two maids of Qian's family, Qiu Lan and Qiu Ju,

He was dismissed by the Wu family under Song Zheng's persuasion. Song Zheng did not dare to use the girls of the Qian family. Therefore, only Qi'er and Song Yu were in Nuo Daqian's house, which was very safe. Qian had the underworld of the wealthy family.

The dog "Black Tiger" once again became Soong Yu's watchdog. Under Song Zheng's guidance, after Song Yu fed it a few meat buns, it completely betrayed its old owner, which proved the saying that "dogs are loyal and cats are traitors"

It's not accurate. In fact, it's thanks to the quick change of "Black Tiger", otherwise, Song Zheng planned to get rid of "Mixi" like Song Huang, the fourth son of Song Dynasty.

One morning after Song Jue received the transfer order, Song Zheng said hello to his family, then came to Qianzhai and began to discuss development plans. After Song Zheng, Song Yu, and Qi'er all sat down, Song Zheng

Zheng said: "Qi'er, what do you think of my third uncle? One more person will give me more strength." Qi'er understood what Song Zheng meant. After getting along for a while, Qi'er also understood that although Song Yu had some problems with his sexual orientation

, but he has lived alone for so many years, this has changed a lot. In addition, after spending many days together, Song Yu should have discovered that he is a woman, but he did not make it public, which proves that Song Yu is very calculating. In addition,

After the death of Mr. Song, Song Yu could be regarded as a comrade in the same trench. Therefore, Qi'er nodded, meaning that he could tell Song Yu.

Song Zheng said, "Qi'er, it's up to you to say it." Although Young Master Song regarded his original oath as a dream, he still couldn't break it in front of Qi'er.

Qi'er nodded and told the story of himself and Old Man Gao. Song Yu was no better than Song Zheng. After being stunned for a long time, he left his seat to see the eldest princess. Qi'er quickly stepped forward to stop him, while Song Zheng smiled.

Qi'er said, "Qi'er, should you tell us about our agreement?" Qi'er glared at Song Zheng and reluctantly told him about being a maid for Song Zheng. Song Yu was stunned and pointed at Song Zheng and said

Speechless.

Song Zheng waited for Song Yu to come to his senses, and then said: "Emergency times call for extraordinary measures. We must unite as one to avenge Grandpa and Dr. Gao. Third uncle, don't be surprised. I have one more thing to tell you to explain to you."

That's why I got enlightened." Now Song Zheng showed off his strange dream again. Qi'er had heard about it from Old Man Gao, so naturally he wasn't surprised, but Song Yu heard about it for the first time, so naturally he was not surprised.

Sighed repeatedly.

Song Zheng said: "There is another thing you may be wondering. Songjiazhuang is so remote. How did Huang Yuandu's people find it? The old man and Dr. Gao were old friends forty years ago. No matter how smart Huang Yuandu's people are, they would not have expected it.

To this point.”

Qi'er and Song Yu both nodded, expressing that they were really confused. Song Zheng said, "You need to swear on the following matter. I don't want any fourth person to know except the three of us." Song Yu was already a little shocked.

Feeling numb, she made an oath immediately. Qi'er was Song Zheng's maid, so she naturally obeyed the order.

Song Zheng said: "We are not fighting with bare hands. We still have a lot of wealth in our hands, which can be said to be as rich as the enemy." This guy is also quite talented in telling stories. After arousing the audience's appetite, he told the story of Lu

The story of Wang's secret treasure. The origin of the secret treasure is just a brief description. When it comes to Young Master Song himself, it is a bit exaggerated. What about "the young master rescued Old Man Zheng out of justice", "the young warrior took the risk to investigate the enemy's situation", "the handsome young master is rich and cannot be sexually active"

", "Old man Zheng was moved to pass on the 'yin-poetry'" and so on, the words are soul-stirring and vivid.

After listening to the story, Qi'er was stunned, while Song Yu stood up and looked at his nephew with his mouth open, his mind had stopped.

After Qi'er and Song Yu finished digesting the secrets of King Lu, Song Zheng told his inference about the death of Mr. Song. Song Yu and Qi'er couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. What Song Yu sighed was that his

Although my brother was obsessed with the study of Neo-Confucianism and was ignorant of human nature, he inadvertently saved everyone's lives this time.

Finally, Song Zheng said: "The opponents we face are extremely powerful, and we ourselves are extremely weak now, not even comparable to a hair on their bodies. Therefore, revenge must be considered in the long term." Song Yu was also sad and angry at the death of Mr. Song.

It's unusual, but he is also a perseverant person. Otherwise, he would not have lived healthily until now after more than ten years of living alone. He immediately said: "Zheng'er, what do you think we should do?"

Song Zheng pondered for a while and asked: "Third Uncle, have you persisted in studying in these years?"

Song Yu said: "In addition to working these years, I have only read books by myself. I have not given up on reading."

Song Zheng nodded and said: "Well, now that our family no longer has to work in the fields, you can study with peace of mind. In two years, it will be the year of the big exam. You are still a candidate and can directly take the Jinshi exam.

No matter whether you can be a Jinshi in high school or not, you must try to stay in Jiangning City. Even if the position is lower, it doesn't matter. We must establish a place to stay there. Although the second aunt Song Huan is in Jiangning, I don't understand her now.

The situation at home. It is best not to involve the second aunt's family in this kind of thing. The third uncle needs to familiarize himself with the situation in the capital and pay close attention to his opponents. It would be better if he could get close to Huang Yuandu or Pang Hui, but it is estimated to be very difficult." (Seeking for collection.)
