Chapter 279 Visitors from the capital
A voice came from behind: "Sister, you're back, that's great. I heard that Wu Shan is in the Zongmen Grand Competition, and I'm worried that you missed the schedule..."
"Sister!" Caizhulian turned to her elder sister Caixinlian who came out of the house.
"Come on, follow my sister to the room to talk."
"Father, I'm going to talk to my sister for a while..." Cai Zhulian followed her sister in.
In the room, there is a large area of red, red boxes, and red quilts, covering my sister's embroidery room, which also makes my sister's face red, extraordinarily beautiful.
"Sister, don't be angry with Dad. Dad is actually doing it for your own good. What's the point of practicing hard and cold in barren mountains? It's only right for a woman to marry a good man..."
Caizhulian sighed secretly, if you marry a literary genius, you will naturally be considered a good husband, what do you think daddy found for me?
She is not a fool and she understands what Daddy is thinking. What he wants is to become a relative of the Holy Family, so that the Cai family can have a backer from now on, avoid all kinds of oppression from the court, and be able to marry the Holy Family. She has no objection. As a child of the Holy Family, she can prepare as happily as her elder sister, but she can't do it by marrying that trash...
These are just what she thinks in her heart, so naturally she can't bring them up. Facing her sister, Caizhulian smiled: "Sister, I brought you some gifts..."
When she raised her hand, four Yaozu storage bags were placed on the table.
"What?" Cai Xinlian opened the first bag, which contained eleven exquisite small porcelain bottles, her expression suddenly changed: "Spring tears? So many?"
Chunlei perfume has now become the common pursuit of girls all over the world, not to mention poor girls, rich girls must match Chunlei, but often there is only one bottle, rich and wealthy families will match two bottles. She is also a training envoy of the Yizhou Regiment and a senior official of the third rank. The Cai family just went to the capital some time ago and brought back two bottles of Spring Tears, which are currently locked at the bottom of the box and are her most precious dowry.
But when my sister came back, she brought eleven bottles with her!
Caizhulian said: "It's not spring tears, but autumn tears..."
It turned out not to be Chunlei!The light in Caixinlian's eyes went out, and she said that the tears of spring were so precious, how could she get so many at once?Sure enough... no!
Caizhulian said: "There are two bottles of Spring Tears, and nine bottles of Autumn Tears. Autumn Tears is the latest perfume of the Lin family in Haining. It is better than Spring Tears. At present, almost no one in Xizhou has got it."
What?Cai Xinlian's face turned red all of a sudden...
"This is soap! It's also the latest product of the Lin family. It's for bathing..."
"This is the latest porcelain from the Lin family, the most high-end one. I brought you ten sets..."
"This is the Lin family's Grade A Baiyunbian. I brought three altars. Daddy likes wine. You can hand it over to him for me..."
In the pavilion outside, Cai Lie's expression suddenly changed - although it was still far away, even though he seemed too lazy to look at his little daughter, he still paid attention to her with profound martial arts...
The current wine market has undergone great changes, just as Lin Su expected at the beginning.
The Bishui Xianzong launched the clear water wine, which also led the world trend for a period of time, but the good times did not last long.Baixianglou held a wine-tasting party in the capital, and the seniors of Jiudao appraised the world's famous wines in public. Baiyunbian got a reputation for being pure and pure, but Bishuixianniang got a miscellaneous and impure evaluation.As soon as this comment came out, Bishuizong's face was dull, and it was even spread in the market that Bishuizong's Bishui Xianniang was stolen from Baiyun Bian, and he could not learn it properly. When the rumors came together, Bishuizong directly became ashamed, and even knocked down Bishuixianniang altar.It can no longer be compared with Baiyunbian.
Baiyunbian spread the word and became popular all over the world. Cai Lie, a good wine drinker, naturally drank it and fell in love with it. What he drank was only the third-ranked Baiyunbian, the third-ranked Baiyunbian. , Occasionally, some of them wandered in the rivers and lakes, all of which were speculated at sky-high prices, and became the exclusive collection of the top immortal sects, royal families, and royal families.
He was thinking of sending someone to the capital to get some second-grade white cloud edges to add color to his daughter's wedding banquet, but he never expected that his youngest daughter brought back three altars of first-grade white cloud edges. If there are any guests, there will be wine to drink.
He immediately wanted to rush into his daughter's room to test the authenticity of the white cloud, but he didn't forget that he was angry with his little daughter...
The two sisters in the room didn't know that Dad was eavesdropping on their conversation.
Cai Xinlian was extremely surprised: "Sister, these things of yours are all things that money can't buy, how did you get them?"
Caizhulian said: "This is also a very interesting thing. I met a person on the road..."
Speaking of some things with Lin Su, the depression in her heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by relaxed and a little excited...
After she finished speaking, Cai Xinlian was dumbfounded: "I met a quack on the road, and then he gave you a bunch of things without even asking for money? Why did I suddenly feel... that your things are a little unreliable? "
Cai Zhulian didn't take it seriously: "It's nothing, right? He...had offended me before, afraid that I would strangle him to death. Besides, he admitted it himself, he is a prodigal..."
"Even if he is a rich prodigal, he has to buy it. I don't know anything else. At least this Grade A Baiyunbian is really not something that can be bought with money. Tianquan Villa is rich, right? But they last time For entertaining distinguished guests, I wanted to get an altar of Grade A Baiyun, but I couldn’t find it, so how could I meet someone on the road, who casually brought three altars of Grade A Baiyun?”
Caizhulian was also stunned. Hearing what her sister said, there seemed to be some problems...
She has already opened a bottle of Qiulei, compared with the Qiulei worn by the women she met on the road, it is no different, she has also used this soap, the effect is incomparable, only wine...
Otherwise, open it and have a look?
The two women reached a consensus, and were about to open the Baiyunbian wine on the spot, when a person rushed in from outside the house, accompanied by a reprimand: "What kind of wine does the little girl know? Open the altar indiscriminately, if it is true, wouldn't it be a waste?... Go! go!"
It was their father. He raised his hand and carefully opened a small hole in one of the wine jars. Immediately, the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine. Cai Lie took a deep breath, his eyes were as bright as autumn water...
……
Xizhou, Lifu!
The name is really right.
To stay away from the center of Da Cang's regime, isn't that the same as leaving the mansion?
Before Ren Taiyan prefect took office, Lifu was almost a den of robbers, and the wanted robbers had nowhere to run, so they came here because the mountains were high and the emperor was far away.
Several big families took in these robbers, forming a black and evil force after another. What did these people take in the robbers?Using the force of these robbers to catch mermaids, in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of these families.
The mermaid tribe also retaliated wildly. If anyone goes into the sea, they will never leave alive. Within a hundred miles of the seaside, it becomes a restricted area for humans. If you dare to stay here, there will always be aquariums popping up from the seaside and rivers to hunt your head away.Expert practitioners and martial arts masters can confront and hunt mermaids head-on, but what about ordinary people?
Eighty percent of the whole prefecture lives by the West Sea. Originally, it could rely on water to drink water, but it was forced to die by relying on water. Tens of millions of ordinary people in the prefecture had to stay away from the water, huddled in the poisonous smog. At the foot of the Yandang Mountain, things are at stake.
In such a place, how can ordinary people survive?Everyone wanted to leave, they all said, leave the mansion, it is possible to have a family and a mansion after leaving...
After Ren Taiyan took office, he launched a series of iron-fisted actions to crack down on robbers and ban mermaid fishing. In exchange for the favor of the mermaid tribe, he signed a trade agreement, which not only won the people the right to live by the sea, but also borrowed business to promote agriculture, so that everyone He applauded, but because of this, he cut off the squire's money, angered the Shangguan, separated from the Shangguan, and became a different kind of officialdom.
Someone has already told him that the Supervisory Department of the capital city has sent a supervisory envoy to Xizhou, and the day when the supervisory envoy arrives is the time when you, Ren Taiyan, will end your official career.
As a Jinshi Confucian who was born in reading sage books, Ren Taiyan still has the character of a literati. Hearing this, he replied coldly: I read sage books and practice sage ways. The official career is like floating clouds to me. It's sacrificing one's life for righteousness!
Officially, he may not care much about it, but when the sun goes down, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in Licheng, and seeing the smiles on the faces of the common people, Ren Taiyan still has a bit of bitterness on his face. These simple smiling faces were rarely seen when he first came to Licheng. Pass?If he leaves and changes to a magistrate who is on the same level as his boss, and makes Lifu change its course and return to the past again, how much of the smile on the faces of these simple folks will remain?
"Master!" A woman walked over, but it was his concubine. The concubine took a piece of clothing and put it on him: "It's almost winter, and the night is windy. Master still needs to take care of himself."
Ren Taiyan gently grabbed the concubine's hand: "Your hand is getting cold again..."
The concubine smiled lightly: "Our mermaid clan will be weak after going ashore, so don't worry about it, Elder Gui sent some blood-boosting herbs specially last time..."
"Yu Ji..." Ren Taiyan hesitated to speak.
Yu Ji's wonderful eyes fell on his face: "What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, you go back to your room first, I... I'll walk in the courtyard..."
He walked towards a big tree in front of him, Yu Ji's eyes kept circling on his back, finally, Ren Taiyan turned his head and met Yu Ji's eyes...
"Do you regret it?" Yu Ji asked softly.
"what?"
Yu Ji sighed: "Don't hide it from me, I already know that the capital inspector is coming soon, and the Lifu new bureau you created will be wiped out, and you will not be able to protect yourself...Master, you shouldn't have rescued me at the beginning." I, let alone accept me as a concubine..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ren Taiyan interrupted her: "Even if tomorrow will be wiped out, I, Ren Taiyan, will have no regrets in this life! I firmly believe that everything I do is in line with the holy way, the will of the people, and the way of heaven!"
Yu Ji gently put herself into his embrace: "Master, if... if things are really bad, follow me to the secret realm of the Holy Land..."
"No!" Ren Taiyan shook his head lightly.
"Master, there is no one in your family for a long time, you have tried your best... The patriarch respects you very much, and told me repeatedly that if there is any danger, enter the secret realm, and the mermaid clan will serve you for life!"
Ren Taiyan said: "Even if my official position is taken away, as long as my life is still alive, I will travel around the capital to search for righteous scholars. I will never believe in the vast world, the universe is bright, and the way of heaven will never come out!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the house behind him: "Even if the official position does not exist, you still have to wander around the capital. The magistrate is indeed a man of principle, but does your lord really believe that this will work?"
Ren Taiyan was shocked: "Who?"
Although he didn't use his official seal and literary power, he was still a man of literary mind and supernatural five senses, but he didn't even know when the people in the house entered the house.
Yu Ji was even more terrified. Now, any disturbance could make her shudder, because she knew that the crisis against her and the magistrate would come at any time.
"Master Zhifu, why don't you go into the room and tell me?"
The door of the room suddenly opened silently. In the dark study room, the light flickered on. A figure with his back turned to the yard looked at a picture hanging on the wall...
This figure is from the rivers and lakes!
This picture is a piece of handwriting written by Ren Taiyan himself.
Ren Taiyan's heart was lifted, and he stepped behind this person: "Who is your Excellency?"
The man slowly raised his hand, and in his palm was an official seal. The official seal lightened slightly, and a small golden sword circled in the official seal, forming two words: Supervision.
Ren Taiyan was taken aback: "The supervisor of the capital?"
Yu Ji, who had just arrived outside the door, had her heart skip a beat and her face turned pale. What she was most afraid of was the arrival of the capital inspector, because she knew that when the inspector arrived, it would be the day when the Great Change began. Starting years ago, step by step, it is becoming more and more like a blessed place on earth. All of this will be wiped out with the arrival of the inspector.
And now, the Inspector has arrived!
"Exactly!" Lin Su turned his head slowly, his face was unparalleled in the slanting light of the solitary lamp.
Ren Taiyan bowed deeply: "Please refer to Lord Supervisor!"
Lin Su looked at him quietly without answering.
"My lord, please sit down!"
Lin Su took two steps and sat down in front of the tea table. Ren Taiyan was sitting opposite him. Yu Ji came over, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Lin Su. Her hands were still trembling slightly.
Lin Su just stared at her: "The squire from the Lifu government informed the government that one of them was that the magistrate took a mermaid as a concubine, colluded with other races, and harmed the common people. Is she the one she is referring to?"
Yu Ji's hands trembled, almost knocking over the teapot.
Ren Taiyan was calm: "Since you have seen it, you don't need to deny it! However, in the law of the Great Cang, there is no explicit prohibition of marriage with other races."
Lin Sudao: "It is true that there is no such prohibition, but it is clearly stated in the officials' regulations that officials are not allowed to collude with the local wealthy families through marriages, property purchases, etc., to escort the wealthy families, and to exploit the common people... Is the mermaid family considered a local wealthy family? "
Ren Taiyan's expression changed drastically.
The mermaid clan is naturally considered a local wealthy family, an incomparably wealthy one.
but……
"The lower officials just signed a mutually beneficial agreement with the mermaid clan. How did they ever exploit the people? On the contrary, the establishment of the market has benefited the people of one side. Tens of millions of people in the seven counties of Lifu have benefited from this market."
He said this with confidence, because he firmly believed in his heart that he treated the people well, and he never thought of exploiting the people. The market was built, and it fed 80 people in Licheng, and indirectly brought back the property of tens of millions of people. ...
