When a group of officers and soldiers, surrounded by the prefect and other officials, arrived in front of the Huang family's mansion, someone was already waiting in front of the door to greet them.
"Master Song is here to welcome you." A handsome young man in a brocade robe said loudly, but he did not welcome these people to the door. "They are busy moving, very busy, and the servants also sold a lot , there are not enough people to serve and pour tea. If you have anything, sir, please send us to the government office."
Being turned away naked like this made the officials parked in front of the door blush.
But what can be done? Now they have bowed their heads.
Magistrate Song called Axiao, looked at the young man with a kind and sad expression, and said, "Why don't you even call me uncle?"
Song Zhifu has served in Guangzhou Prefecture for several years and is familiar with these aristocratic families. The younger generations of each family also know their names, and they can refer to them as uncles and nephews in private gatherings.
"The word "uncle" is simple, but it tells the story of the long-term closeness between them. The accompanying officials praised in their hearts that the magistrate is worthy of being a magistrate, and he can bend and stretch with ease.
The Huang family¡¯s nephew, Axiao, was somewhat weakened by the shout. He turned his head away from Magistrate Song and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid my uncle won¡¯t recognize me as my nephew.¡±
Magistrate Song stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? A single tree cannot make a forest. Now Guangzhou Prefecture is in trouble, and only my family can help. Please ask Axiao to help me ask the old man. It just so happens that Lord Tao is also here, and the emperor¡¯s ministers will definitely be able to help me in Guangzhou Mansion.¡±
After saying this, he bowed and bowed. He saluted and other accompanying officials followed suit.
They knew it as soon as the people from the government came out. So it¡¯s not surprising that the people from the government knew about Tao Ran¡¯s arrival from the Huang family. Everyone has their own powerful connections.
The relationship between the aristocratic family and the government is so intertwined. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Of course, they are better now.
Huang Axiao looked at the officials who were leaning over in front of him and sneered in his heart, but he still knew how to accept them when they saw fit: "Masters, please wait in the hall for a moment. I'll ask my grandfather. I can't hide the moving matter from my grandfather. His old man Because the old illness of wanting to leave home has returned."
In the end, a sarcastic arrow was thrown. This is just a late-born junior.
What can I do? I just bow my head and admit defeat. Magistrate Song endured it: "I'm really ashamed."
But fortunately, Mrs. Huang didn't keep them waiting, and came over after drinking two bowls of cold tea in a room without charcoal fire.
Seeing Old Mrs. Huang wrapped in a cloak and being carried by four or five strong servants, the prefect and others hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Old Master, please lie down quickly." Magistrate Song held down the recliner and said proactively without Old Mrs. Huang opening his mouth, "You are sick, and we are really ashamed to bother you again."
"Jiacheng, why am I sick and why are you here? If everyone knows clearly, just tell them," Old Man Huang said calmly, looking at the officials standing in the hall, "You and I know each other." After all these years, who still doesn¡¯t know whose temper? Well, who is this?¡±
His eyes fell on an unfamiliar face.
This is an old scholar who is not wearing official robes and is wearing brand new clothes but not like his own. The old scholar follows the officials' salutes and looks around with his eyes When he hears questions, he quickly looks away.
Magistrate Song said: "This is Mrs. Wu's disciple."
"Jiang Liang." The old scholar took a step forward and said with a smile, "The young lady asked me to come and see if I can help."
Old Mrs. Huang said: "Don't help. Everyone is so busy now because of your young lady's help."
These words are really rude, and they are undoubtedly insulting people in person.
Magistrate Song was a little hesitant. Should he defend the young lady and immediately turn his face on the old guy and scold him?
Jiang Liang saluted with a shameful smile: "So please give me some advice."
Magistrate Song didn¡¯t need to hesitate, he held Old Mrs. Huang¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Old Mrs. Huang, you have to save me.¡±
Although they had already agreed that they were here to bow their heads, they had no choice but to bow their heads to the low-ranking prefect. The other officials could only lower their heads and mumble. These days, Guangzhou Prefecture has become famous in Huainan Road, and even in half of Huainan Road. Everyone is used to being awed because of the horse's head, but to suddenly bow his head like this is really unaccustomed.
Of course Mr. Huang could see the reluctance and shame of these officials, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
The greatest pleasure in life is to see the enemy bow his head and be helpless.
"It's not to save you." Mr. Huang slapped away Magistrate Song's hand and said with a straight face, "It's to save the people of Guangzhou Prefecture."??¡±
Jiang Liang said from the side: "So please ask the old man to appease the people."
Old Mrs. Huang glanced at him: "I am a bad old man with no official position, no fame, and no reputation as a fairy like Mrs. Wu. How can I appease the people?"
An official picked up the topic. Since they had come together, they could still do such things as flattering the prefect. He bowed deeply: "The Huang family has had a reputation in Guangzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years." Huang has the world in his mind and the common people in his heart. Mr. Huang is highly respected. When there was a great epidemic in Guangzhou Prefecture, Mr. Huang invited famous doctors to distribute soups and medicines to more than 100,000 people in Guangzhou Prefecture. Half of the people in Guangzhou Prefecture survived because of him. "
Other officials also praised the glory of the Huang family and the merits of Mr. Huang himself. Their words made the cold room warm.
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Mr. Huang's face became a little unbearable, so the young people accompanying him snorted: "Since we know that our Huang family is as virtuous and respected as the Dinghai Shenzhen An Fang, why do you have to drive us away! Steal our money Steal our food, divide our fields, and force wealthy families like us to leave our homes?"
The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward.
"No matter where it is." Magistrate Song came out to support the situation, "It's a borrowing, it's a borrowing."
Jiang Liang added on the side: "The money, grain and land are all used on the people."
Mrs. Wu still didn't think she was wrong. Old Mrs. Huang looked at Jiang Liang and said, "Really? I thought it was used on Mrs. Wu. She is a deity who descends to earth and is omnipotent. People only go to her to worship her." Once you bow, you need money, money, food, food, and land.¡±
Magistrate Song was on the side to smooth things over: "It's all for the people, it's all for Guangzhou Prefecture."
Jiang Liang was neither anxious nor annoyed: "Then, old man, what do you want to do?"
This is when Old Mrs. Huang talked directly with Mrs. Wu. The officials present were quiet and relieved. At that time, Yuan Ji brought two people to see them, saying that they were the disciples of Mrs. Wu. They would represent the young lady in the negotiation with the family. .
Everyone was a little surprised by these two disciples who suddenly appeared, but they were not too surprised. There were many people who came to seek refuge with Mrs. Wu. In addition to those knights, there were also painters, storytellers, singers, candy makers, and liars. There is everything to eat, cheat and drink
Mrs. Wu Shao said that they were disciples. They were here to meet these aristocratic families in person. If there was anything they didn¡¯t need to report to the government, it was convenient for everyone.
Old Mrs. Huang looked at him: "It's very simple. It's all for the people. Money and food. We can give it directly to the people without going through the young lady."
Jiang Liang said with a smile: "The reason why our young lady did it ourselves is for convenience, otherwise so many people would be in a mess and there would be no plan. If Mrs. Huang wants to do it, of course there is no problem, but for the sake of the people and the order of Guangzhou Prefecture, There still have to be rules.¡±
"Our Huang family has been doing disaster relief for generations, and we know the rules very well." Huang Axiao said politely from the side.
How old is this Mrs. Wu, and she still wants to scare people by showing she doesn¡¯t understand the rules?
Jiang Liang neither made trouble nor retreated nor gave in. He smiled and said: "This kind of disaster is not famine and epidemic, but war. Naturally, the rules are different during war."
Huang Axiao wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Huang waved her hand to stop her: "Mrs. Wu is right. Wartime is no better than other times."
The old man's expression has softened and showed tolerance.
"In that case, the rules are still decided by the young lady, and we can do things ourselves."
Jiang Liang praised: "The old man is transparent."
This matter has been negotiated, and there have been discussions, requests, and steps back. Everyone is really happy. The prefect and officials immediately followed suit and praised it. The faces of the young and old of the Huang family also improved a lot, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively.
¡°Then the same goes for the fields.¡± Jiang Liang took advantage of the good atmosphere and continued.
The atmosphere in the hall darkened just like the faces of the Huang family. Money and food were easy to come by, but the land was the foundation of their family.
"It's just a borrowing, a borrowing." The magistrate once again smoothed things over, "Let the refugees be able to farm and settle down in peace. When the world is peaceful and everything around Huainan Road is stable, the borrowing will expire."
He stretched out his fingers to calculate.
"Everyone knows the current situation. His Majesty the Emperor has great majesty. The guards of Daxia are winning one after another. At most, it will be almost done by the end of next year."
The officials all nodded and tried to persuade him.
He can¡¯t say that the situation is bad and the emperor can¡¯t put down the rebellion, right? Old Mrs. Huang couldn't bear the noise: "Okay, okay."
The prefect and other officials immediately stopped talking and looked at Old Mrs. Huang nervously and quietly.
"If there are people who need farming, please choose and send them over." Old Mrs. Huang looked at Jiang Liang, "We will arrange the fields."
The eyes of the prefect and other officials immediately turned to Jiang Liang.
This was the first time in Jiang Liang's life that he was stared at by so many people. So many people were waiting for his answer. His answer was crucial. He touched his collar and smiled calmly and steadily: "I have help from the old man, young lady." very happy."
Old Mrs. Huang called out to Ah Xiao: "Why don't you light a charcoal fire when the guests come?"
Huang Axiao bowed her head in shame: "There are not enough servants, they are all busy organizing and bowing."
Old Mrs. Huang scolded: "My servant has been sold, and your wife and mother are no longer here? Even if the roof is gone, my Huang family must not lose etiquette in hospitality."
