Not only Ji's grandfather, Ji's grandmother, Ji's father, is working hard for protection, but Ji's mother, who went back to see the elderly at her natal home this morning, also said that some of her natal relatives wanted her daughter to be a concubine for their son.
Speaking of it, it's because they were born in merchants, and they are not very profitable large families themselves. Most of their relatives and friends are eaten from the ground. For those people who may not be able to fill their stomachs after a year of hard work. Said that if the girl in the family can be an official Ji Changze as a concubine, not only will she be able to enjoy the scenery, but she will also be able to pull the family back.
In addition, there are some wealthy households who want to get close to Master Ji, who has become a prefect.
Originally, they thought it was pretty good. Everyone knew that Ji Changze was in the prefecture and had only his parents and grandma at home. The Ji family was just an ordinary merchant before Ji Changze came out. There was not much to be defined. At this time, they came to the door intimately and affectionately. , Gave the family's daughter to be a concubine, and then gave her gold and silver jewelry, the family would definitely agree to it happily.
Unexpectedly, all the ancestors of Ji's family would not get in.
What is the beauty of your daughter in the family? What is the jewellery you gave is worth a lot of silver? The one they all refused is called simply.
Your daughter's country is beautiful? That's not good. Their parents, Ze now, are valued by His Majesty. They are busy with the state government, and even the serious ladies are not free. What do you want to do at this time? Want to ruin my father Ze's body?
As for the rare and exotic treasures, if they could have been shocked before, but Ji Changze had never been short of money since he opened the Yuanhuayi factory, and he sent people to send money home from time to time. The Ji family Originally, I was worried that the money was coming from the wrong way. I only felt relieved when I saw that Ji Changze wrote that he had made a fair profit, and his Majesty also knew about the letter.
There are too many good things, so they naturally don't care about the ordinary objects they send.
There is also some underestimated irritation in my heart: Do you think my family is short of money? I want us to sell our son/grandson if I send such a little gadget.
That's right, after Ji Changze's brainwashing for the family for a long time, in the eyes of the whole Ji family, accepting a concubine means losing money sooner or later, and giving gifts to please them is equivalent to letting them sell people.
No matter how it counts, it is their family who suffers (the person who gave the money to others: ...), these people are really heartbroken.
The family of four happily finished a meal, and the old lady ran outside the door to sit again.
Although he doesn't want to see people who want to send a woman to his grandson, he still likes other people who speak nicely (flatter himself).
After eating every day, I just sit at the door, and then the neighbors who walked around around gathered around, and began to praise him for having a good grandson in his family, how capable he was, and how filial he was to their elders.
As he was talking, the person sent by Ji Changze to deliver the letter arrived.
He has come many times, and he is already familiar in Ji's house. When he saw him coming, the servant who was waiting for the old man at the door reminded him with joy: "Old man, the adult's messenger is here again."
"Ok?"
The old lady, who was listening to others' praise of her own family, opened her eyes and stood up with joy on her face.
"My grandchildren have sent letters again."
There was another round of flattery around him. Before the messenger came forward to speak, another sound of gongs and drums came.
The people who came to give grandma Ji and Mother Ji came, the clothes and jewelry of Madam Jiming, and the gift of the holy decree, walked all the way to the door of Ji's majestic and majestic.
Where did the old grandfather have seen such a battle, and he was stunned at that time.
The rest of the Ji family in the house were also rushed out by the movement.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"But Changze sent someone again?"
The messenger knew what Master Ji had asked himself to tell his family. He immediately raised a smile and stepped forward to greet him: "My old lady, it's a happy event, it's the adults who asked the lady and the old lady to ask for instructions, you two. , It will be Mrs. Mingming in the future."
Both Grandma Ji and Mother Ji looked shocked.
Since Ji Changze became an official, they have also viciously supplemented the official knowledge, and naturally they know what the fate is.
Now, they are actually going to be the madams of fate?
My wife!
In the past, even if they were fantasizing, they only dared to fantasize about Mrs. Mingming. Now, Changze has turned them into madams.
The two of them had only four words left in their minds, Mrs. Mingming. Mother Ji was okay, but Grandma Ji was happy, and her hands were shaking.
Followed the messenger's prompt and took the order, looking at the precious dress of the imperial madam. Although I know that these clothes are generally only worn when meeting noble people or when entering the palace, they are enough to excite the two and be cautious. Stepped forward and stroked it.
The materials are naturally good materials, but they are not so rare that they cannot be bought. If they want them, Ji Changze will definitely be able to buy them a box of such materials.
But this is the clothes given by your majesty.
Becoming a madam, she is still of high grade. Even if the magistrate of their county sees them in the future, they will have to salute them. Of course, the current magistrate is also polite to them.
Forgive the two of them, they have worked all their lives, except for Ji Changze, the largest official they have ever met is the magistrate.
Grandma Ji touched, laughed, tears fell, and she tremblingly went around the dress for several times, but she couldn't bear to stop: "I can also become a madam, and I can have this day. Shili, which old lady can be as blessed as I am."
It's all Changze's credit. She must have done a lot of good things in her previous life to have such a good grandson.
Mother Ji and Grandma Ji received your majesty's imperial decree, and the news of the addition of her life soon spread throughout the county.
The Ji family once again came to a group of people to celebrate, and it was very lively. The patriarch of the Ji family came to congratulate and cryptically expressed, "Although it is said that Changze is living well now, it has brought glory to the whole family and even the whole clan, But he is not at home now. Don't take advantage of Changze's power to do something bad, and don't accept too much gifts. I will also restrain the clansmen here. Although Changze is an official outside, it's hard work. We must not hold him back".
The patriarch was worried that when the Ji family was full of joy, saying this kind of cold water would make the other party a little unhappy, but he didn't expect that the Ji family hit it off with him.
Although they were immersed in the joyous event of adding a family and being granted a fate, they still hadn't forgotten that Changze's child complained about the difficulty of being an official when he wrote back.
The superior above can't offend to please (trying to make good friends with him:...) The subordinates below are pregnant with ghosts (subordinates who are tossed around:...) He has to do too many things, but he can only do it himself. (Three people working overtime:...) I hope that family members can help him take care of the relationship with his hometown, and don't just accept gifts and promise others what to do with him, etc.
The Ji family have different personalities, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they hurt Ji Changze to the bone.
What he said, they are naturally handled as imperial decree.
First, I was grateful to the patriarch, and then sent him the letter Ji Changze wrote to the patriarch.
Yes, Ji Changze also wrote a letter to the patriarch, telling him that he was planning to buy some fields for the clan and also to run a school.
This is also a custom, if there is a big figure in the clan, he must give back to the clan.
Ji Changze is not short of money, and doing this is just smooth, not to mention that he has now pulled the people of the clan, and when there is an official in the clan in the future, they are born in an alliance.
Just like Master Wei's family, some of the clan arrogantly bullied others and humiliated the same clan, and the clan elders also turned a blind eye. After Master Wei got up, they tried their best to suppress it. That is rare.
The Ji family was beaming and tried not to hold back Ji Changze. Master Wei received a letter from his son-in-law, in which he wrote the patriarch specifically to remind the parents of the elders, and then he gave it to the clan to sacrifice the field and was still in the clan. The middle school started the school, touched his beard, and smiled in praise.
This is the real way for the clan to open up. Look at their Wei family, what's that called?
He suddenly had an idea and wrote a poem to praise the mutual help between his son-in-law and the clan.
This poem was quickly spread, and most people thought it was sent by Master Wei, but the head of the Wei family felt that the Wei family clan had been severely slapped in the face.
Look at what is written in it. When Ji Changze was not admitted to the fame, the clan specially collected silver for him when he went to the capital to rush the exam. After he passed the exam, he did not use his reputation for welfare. Instead, he specially warned Ji Changze's parents and relatives, so that they must not hold back Ji Changze, which can be called a good clan for the country.
Look at their Wei family's clan. At the time, the pillar of Wei's young family passed away. The clan not only didn't help, but also turned a blind eye to others oppressing them. After that, he was admitted to the court as an official. , When Master Wei sat on a high position, he had clearly drawn a line from his clan. Someone in the clan still used his signboard to commit crimes. Later, Master Wei was personally sued in front of the Sage.
Is this complimenting son-in-law? This is using this incident to mock their Wei family clan.
Master Wei is well-known, but some people also think that he is too cruel, and he can do this to his clan, and personally sue the junior who borrowed his reputation.
Now that this poem comes out like this, Ji Changze generously reciprocated after the clan helped him. Isn't it a reward for what Master Wei has done?
It was just that the Ji clan gave Ji Changze sugar, and Ji Changze naturally gave honey.
And what the Wei family's clan gave to Master Wei was □ □, how could he rush to send honey up.
A small group of people saw that Master Wei used the son-in-law to mock the Wei family clan, but no one stood up and said a word for the Wei family clan.
What else to say.
They didn't see the things that the Wei family did at the beginning. Now that Mr. Wei is promoted, his son-in-law Ji Changze is in the heart of the emperor. Although the Wei family is a family, it is now a royal world. What about the family? Does he have power? It's not what your Majesty said.
Now that you have done something like suppression, why are you afraid of others to say it?
When Ji Changze knew about it, he took the letter and showed it to Wei Juncan. The couple secretly hid in the house and laughed for a while.
Especially Wei Juncan, feeling out of breath.
When she was young, her father's official position was not very high. At that time, the Wei family suppressed, her father was angry, and her mother secretly wiped her tears, but she remembered it clearly.
Throwing down the skin covering the face of the Wei family's clan now is really pleasing.
Ji Changze received another letter from Jingcheng and said to Wei Juncan: "It's about the person who harmed you in the first place. She is not doing well now. Would you like to read it?"
Wei Juncan shook his head, holding the child in his arms, and said with a smile: "I will be doing well."
Speaking of which, she would also like to thank that person.
If it hadn't been for that calculation, she would not have married such a good husband.
Ji Changze agreed; "It is said that the better you are, the more torture for her."
She took such a big risk to push Wei Juncan, in order to push him into the abyss. Now that she found that the place where Wei Juncan fell was actually heaven, it's strange that she didn't succumb to death in her heart.
He stepped forward and picked up the big fat boy in Wei Juncan's arms and turned upside down: "Smelly boy, he eats so fat, he's as round as a ball."
There was a knock on the door outside, saying that Wuxian Cheng was here.
Ji Changze returned the child to Wei Juncan, pushed the door and asked, "How is his face?"
"His complexion? Master Wu's complexion is good, as if there is something good. Looking at it, Master Wu's face is full of smiles."
That should be done by what he explained before.
Ji Changze smiled and patted his sleeves and strode forward. When he reached the study, he opened the door and strode in: "Master Wu is here just right. The officer here has a new task for you."
When he saw him come in, his face was full of joy and his mouth opened, and he was about to say, "My lord, I have finished the task you gave me. Let's have a happy holiday." Wuxian Cheng; "..."
Ji Changze Balabala, who firmly believes that "I can't catch up with me if I have a vacation fast enough." Ji Changze Balabala set the new task down and patted Wuxian Cheng's shoulder; "You can, those who can do more, this official believes in you."
Wuxian Cheng: "..."
What can I say, blame me for being too good.
The murmur in his heart disappeared suddenly when he learned that Master Ji had sent Wang Toutou to lead people to destroy the pirates the next day.
Compared with working overtime and doing clerical work, pirates can do it with a real sword.
If you are not careful, your life will be gone.
Fortunately, Master Ji didn't let him do this, but Wuxian Cheng, who was immersed in a pile of paperwork, secretly thanked him.
Sure enough, working overtime is happy.
On the other end, Wang Catchhead was so excited to go to heaven after receiving this order, especially when Ji Changze directly told him that this matter had been approved by His Majesty, and if he won this time, he would be able to recommend Wang Catchhead to join the military attache.
People always want to climb up step by step, but most of the Shangguan just climbed up on their own and completely ignored the people below, but Master Ji directly handed the ladder to his eyes. How could he not be grateful.
What's more, he has been thinking about eliminating the pirates for a day or two. He and the brothers under his hands practice arranging troops every day, sailing with swords, guns and clubs. Isn't it just for this day?
A true man must dare to kill and fight, if he is asked to do the work of Master Wu, he will not be able to do it.
Sure enough, it's still happy to kill pirates.
In Anguo 176, the pirates in the waters of the state capital controlled by Ji Changze were wiped out by the government. Since then, in addition to merchant ships, there have been more military ships with the flag of Angola.
At the beginning, there were some pirates in other seas who did not believe in evil and tried to take this place, but a batch of them died. Not only did the people disappear, the ship was also robbed back by the government that killed that day (Ji Changze said that these ships were all Good things can be recycled and reused). Afterwards, no pirates dared to come to this sea area.
The state capital under the jurisdiction of Ji Changze also opened sea channels, and new roads were made of cement everywhere on the road, which made it easier and faster to transport goods, and slowly became a commercial center.
He was very measured, and almost everything he made had a special account book, and all the accounts were clearly recorded, and they were all handed over to the emperor.
Ji Changze didn't conceal the meaning of making a lot of money. He earned the money by his ability, and why he had to hide it. Not only did he not hide it, he also showed it to the emperor directly.
Of course, the premise is that he gave the treasury more money than his own net worth.
Under such a premise, the emperor didn't feel that there was anything at all. Even if someone made an offer to tell Ji Changze to take the opportunity to make a profit, the emperor would go back.
What's wrong with profit? Did he steal it or steal it? Is he harmful to the people? Did he take the tax as his own? Has he robbed other people's fields, and has there been collusion between officials and businessmen?
He has made money, but it is all the money he earns by his ability. Not only does he earn it himself, but he also earns it with the people. You say he is a corrupt official. Whose money does he greedy?
Is money a bad official? According to what you said, no one should open a shop to buy a chuangzi, and donate all of them. Are you not good people? Don't you think that Ji Aiqing's wealth is a sin? Please take a walk and take a look to see how the lives of the people in the state capital under Ji Aiqing's control are nourished, and the taxes paid over there almost fill up half of the national treasury.
Ji Aiqing dare to show me his account book directly. I know where every penny of their family comes from and where it is used. Do you people who sue him dare? Dare to show me your account book and see where all your money is used?
He is a corrupt official, so he is also openly and generously greedy. He made money, went to build roads, build free schools, set up orphanages, and serve as official ships to the court. Can you? Can you do it? Don't force it if you can't.
The complainant: "..."
Who wouldn't do good deeds? The problem is, they just want to do it, and they can't make so much money.
Originally I wanted to say that Ji Changze was covered in copper and people who deal with money every day did not dare to speak.
Your Majesty has said so what else they can do. If they do, who knows if your Majesty will directly let them hand over all the money at home.
Everyone knows that money has no good reputation among the literati. The noble literati always think that it is copper smelly, but most people know that without the copper smell, what they eat and drink and what they wear, the emperor just doesn't look down on them. With the appearance of standing and standing, how can his family Ji Aiqing be pure and unpretentious, making money without concealment, and especially like to share with him how to make more money.
Is that love money? Do not!
Ji Aiqing knew that only by making money and having a lot of money in the national treasury, can the people of Anguo live well, and can better help the people when natural disasters come. What corrupt officials, he is the most noble and cleanest. people.
The emperor suffocated his stomach and wanted to praise Ji Changze's words, and wanted to confide in others. Looking around, he didn't even have anyone who spoke the truth.
The concubines have grown up with their sons now, and they are thinking of their sons instead of being with him. Let alone the sons. The more they grow up, the more things they think about. I am afraid that today he will praise Ji Aiqing with them, and tomorrow These people can all "make friends" with Ji Aiqing in a swarm, and it's even more impossible for the palace lady eunuch, how could he talk to them.
Thinking about it, the emperor was so panicked that he simply sent someone to carry the youngest prince from the queen.
The three princes caused the emperor's dislike because of the previous concubine incident and kicked him out of the heir list. Later, he felt that it might be that the queen would not raise children. He did not have any royal grace to raise good children. Other children he did. I didn't look down on it, so I simply asked people to hold the youngest aunt next to me and raise him, trying to practice the trumpet again after the big size was broken.
But thinking so, the youngest prince in the emperor's heart must not be able to sit on the throne. After all, how old he is now, although he does not want to die, he also knows that people will die sooner or later. I'm afraid that when the new emperor takes the throne, this child Haven't married yet.
It is precisely because I feel that "the youngest son will definitely not be the emperor. He is young. Then I will talk to him about gossip and talk about my capable, reliable, honest, patriotic, and thinking about my Ji Aiqing. It shouldn't matter.", the youngest son will come. After that, the emperor hugged him and began to talk about how caring and powerful Ji Aiqing was and boasting about him.
The four-year-old little prince was ignorant of sitting on his father's lap. Although he still didn't understand, his brain with a good memory remembered all these words.
After that, the emperor suddenly found that his little son was a perfect tree hole.
My son is not afraid of taboos, young, and not afraid of other thoughts. He is a son, and it is justified to favor his son, and he had neglected the three princes before, which caused the queen's prestige in the harem to decline. Now pampering the younger son can also make the harem secure.
It's perfect.
Ever since, the four-year-old prince remained as a tree hole until he was six.
The father's complaints about the court, his dissatisfaction with his courtiers, the enjoyment of the development of a new system, his expectation for An Guo, his love for the people, his complacency towards Jiangshan, and the daily praise of Ji Aiqing, all came into the ears of the little prince. .
If it is an ordinary child, he must have listened to it today and forgotten tomorrow. However, he is so talented and has a full memory, and he has actually recorded all of it.
Therefore, when the other brothers were still studying in the Imperial Study Room, he was already like a sponge, trying to absorb the "Emperor Experience Encyclopedia" of his father.
Then, the emperor had a long and long life.
The year when the little prince had the second child, the emperor became seriously ill, and he realized that he was alive soon. After looking around, he found that his group of sons with white hair and white beard looked less energetic than him. He turned away from his gaze with disgust. It fell on the young son who was talented, smart and well-behaved since he was a child.
In Anguo 196, the old emperor died and the new emperor succeeded.
Ji Changze's political opponents were quite gloating, thinking that the patron of the former emperor who had crushed all his officials at the time would definitely be an obstacle to the eyes of the new emperor. Even if he did not suppress them, I am afraid that the age of Master Ji would have passed.
However, since he was a child, he heard from his father the new emperor who "my caring Ji Aiqing", "my reliable Ji Aiqing", "my man can reach the Manchu civil and military Ji Aiqing", and inherited his father's good traditions.
After ascending to the throne, he said: "Quickly declare my Ji Aiqing."
