Chapter 148 The entire Yongan Mansion is boiling! (Please subscribe!!) These officials are neither from the Huaixi Party nor from the Eastern Zhejiang Party, but they have common characteristics: they collect fees, attach great importance to economic development, and increase people's income, etc.
This happened not only in Yong'an Mansion, but also in many places in the Ming Dynasty. Most of these officials had experience working in Kaiping County or Yong'an Mansion, and regarded Ouyang Lun as their teacher in governing the country.
Of course, the reason why this third faction can emerge is inseparable from the support of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
The imperial edict regarding Ouyang Lun's promotion soon came to Yong'an Mansion. After the people of Yong'an Mansion were promoted by their magistrate, they all walked out of their homes happily and spontaneously celebrated on the streets. The owner of the tailor shop contributed red silk and satin. Made into banners/red flags/red lanterns, etc. Firecracker shop owners donated firecrackers and set them off everywhere in Funing County For a time, Yong'an Mansion was filled with red, noisy gongs and drums, and bustling, as if it was the New Year.
The eyes of the common people are always sharp. They may not know exactly how much money Yong'an Mansion has made/how many new people have been added/how many fertile fields have been opened up and how many new shops/factories have been opened, but they can clearly feel it. My life is good, and it’s getting better and better! They have money to renovate their old houses, go to restaurants, see a doctor, and even study! Traveling has become more and more convenient. There are "buses" in the city and "passenger cars" out of the city. In addition to farming during busy farming periods and working in factories/construction sites during slack farming periods, as long as you work hard, you will not have to worry about food. Many people from surrounding states and even further places come here because of its reputation, and they feel proud to be natives of Yong'an Prefecture.
There is a saying now circulating in Yong'an Prefecture that the household registration in Yong'an Prefecture will not be changed even if the household registration in Beijing is given!
It’s not just Yong’an Prefecture that’s lively, but also the whole of Beizhili. In addition to Yong’an Prefecture, Beizhili governs Beiping, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, and Xuanfu. , Yanqing Zhili Prefecture and Baoan Zhili Prefecture.
They have seen the development of Yong'an Mansion most clearly. It would be a lie to say they are not jealous. If another person had been the prefect, they would have attacked him in groups and tried to carve up Yong'an Mansion. But the prefect of Yong'an Mansion is Ouyang Lun. , and his official position is rising on a rocket, and he is the prince-in-law of the dynasty, who is looking for trouble?
So what they hope most is that Ouyang Lun can be promoted to a position where he can take charge of the entire Beizhili. Then they can justifiably follow Ouyang Lun and wait to get on the train! !
When the imperial edict was issued, several other prefects and Zhili Prefecture governors understood that it was finally their turn to receive this unprecedented wealth.
Ouyang Lun is now the Right Chief Envoy of Northern Zhili, that is, their immediate boss. From now on, it is reasonable to ask his boss for money/policies.
Beizhili is close to the Bohai Sea on one side and in the northern border on the other. The threat of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the rampage of bandits, and the raging Japanese pirates have all been caught up. Except for Peking, the life of the huge Beizhili is better than that of other state capitals. Each one is more sad than the other. To sum up, the people who have no money, the government who has no money, and the court who has no money are all poor and troubled.
Before Ouyang Lun came, Yong'an Prefecture was the worst and poorest in Beizhili. Now that Yong'an Prefecture has developed, even Peiping may not be able to compare with it. Other prefectures have long been envious of it. Out.
With the development of Yong'an Prefecture in the past two years, other state capitals have been able to take a sip of soup and have been holding their breath.
Everyone is waiting for Ouyang Lun to take a step further and join the path of making a fortune in Yong'an Mansion.
Therefore, for Ouyang Lun to be promoted to the right chief envoy of Beizhili, everyone from the Northern Zhili officials to the millions of Liming people in Northern Zhili applauded with both hands! "I heard that Mr. Ouyang has become our chief envoy to Beizhili! Then our good days are coming!"
"When I was a leftist political activist, I only took care of Yong'an Mansion. Now that I am the chief minister, I can't ignore us."
"That's right, now we are all common people under Lord Ouyang's rule. If he doesn't care about us, we will go to the capital to complain!"
"Tsk, tsk, every time I go to Yong'an Mansion, I feel envious when I see the smiles on the faces of Yong'an people/the comfortable life! Fortunately, it's finally our turn!"
Yong'an Mansion Yamen.
Ouyang Lun received the imperial edict with a sad face.
"Ouyang Prince Consort, the Za family congratulates you!" The eunuch who delivered the order smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked our family to tell you that from now on in Beizhili/Liaodong, you can let go of your hands and feet, but you must make great achievements, otherwise he will not spare you. !”
"Huh? Prince Consort Ouyang doesn't seem very happy!"
Ouyang Lun forced a smile, "Happy. Happy."
"Zhou Bao, take your father-in-law to the treasure house to pick out two things you like."
"Yes."
"Then the Za family will be disrespectful." The eunuch who passed the order followed Zhou Bao away with satisfaction.
"Hey"
Ouyang Lun looked at the imperial edict in his hand, feeling helpless.
"Husband."
Princess Anqing walked to Ouyang Lun and leaned lightly on the latter's shoulder, "What's going on? Isn't it good to be promoted? Among the princes-in-law in the current dynasty, you are the most powerful official, and my husband is the best. .”
Ouyang Lun put his arms around Princess Anqing and kissed her on the forehead, "What's the benefit of being promoted? Not to mention the greater responsibilities, there will be more things to do. Then I will have less time to spend with you, and you will be more tired. And It’s better to work for Emperor Zhu. If you do well, it’s a matter of course. If you do poorly or if you are caught by him for corruption, it will be even worse, and your life will not be saved.”
"The key is that there are still more than ten years left before the 30th year of Hongwu. According to the current promotion rate, it is really possible to go to Nanjing and face Zhu Yuanzhang face to face."
The last thing Ouyang Lun wanted to face was Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, his fate as "Ouyang Lun" was to be forced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. History always moves forward according to the established trajectory. Even though he escaped to a remote place like Yong'an, he was still vaguely aware of it. He felt a force silently pulling him back, as if correcting the changed history.
Of course, some people will definitely say that since they are afraid of meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, why not just quit and resign and take Princess Anqing away, and live in seclusion from now on.
Ouyang Lun had really thought about this, but the old Zhu family were very stubborn. Zhu Yuanzhang continued the Northern Expedition in order to completely eliminate the Northern Yuan Dynasty and stabilize the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the Western Seas seven times to find the missing Zhu Yunwen. If he After taking Princess Anqing away, Zhu Yuanzhang will probably continue to send people all over the world to search. If Zhu Yuanzhang cannot find Zhu Di and continues to search, then he will have to live a sneaky life. Why?
Therefore, Ouyang Lun's goal is to live a good life first, and then stay away from Zhu Yuanzhang. This situation is the best.
If one day he really has to "face" with Zhu Yuanzhang, he will not be afraid, because by then he should already have the ability to protect himself and his family.
"Husband, it seems that you don't want to meet my father." Princess Anqing said.
"I don't want to see you. Our life is pretty good now." Ouyang Lun nodded.
"What about the queen mother? You don't want to see her either?" Princess Anqing continued to ask.
"Of course I want to meet Empress Ma. She is one of my favorite people. It's a pity." Ouyang Lun suddenly thought of something and his expression was a little dark.
"Don't worry, husband, I will go wherever you go."
"Yes!" Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded, hugging Princess Anqing tighter, "How about we have a small meeting?"
Hearing this, Princess Anqing's face turned red and her head was almost buried in Ouyang Lun's arms. "Husband, it's broad daylight, isn't it?" "Daytime? Hehe, I just like the daytime!" Ouyang Lun picked her up after saying that. Princess Anqing, prepare to go to the bedroom.
Suddenly, Zhou Bao walked in and happened to see this scene.
Princess Anqing turned her head away in shame.
"Didn't I ask you to take the father-in-law to pick out things? Why are you back?" Ouyang Lun said angrily.
Zhou Bao was also in a panic at this moment. He didn’t want to leave, so he quickly explained: “The selection has been completed!”
"After you've finished selecting, you can find something to do by yourself. Why are you coming back here?"
"Master, Master Li/Master Wu/Master Fang and other adults from Beizhili are here to congratulate you on your promotion. They are waiting outside now!" Zhou Bao said truthfully.
Forehead. Ouyang Lun was speechless. These people have really sharp ears and noses!As soon as the eunuch who delivered the message left, they rushed over to congratulate him, for fear that they would be late!
This is an official scene.
"Husband, it's business. I'll go back to the room and wait for you. I'll get ready and wear the black socks you gave me." Princess Anqing whispered in Ouyang Lun's ear.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun's eyes lit up, he slowly put Princess Anqing down, and said softly: "Madam, please don't worry, I will leave as soon as possible, and I will never keep my wife waiting for a long time!"
After saying that, Ouyang Lun walked quickly to Zhou Bao and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Lead the way!"
"Yes, master!" Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly, but he was muttering in his heart, what did the madam say to the master, and she actually gave him a shot of chicken blood! "Zhou Bao, you idiot, next time I do something serious, I'll be a bit more aggressive, or I'll let you go to heaven and earth to be a turtle!" Ouyang Lun scolded along the way.
"Old man, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"
"But this time it's a blessing in disguise. I will forgive you. I'll go to the accountant later to collect the reward for a month or a year!" Ouyang Lun continued.
"what!"
Zhou Bao was dumbfounded. He thought that he had made a mistake and was thankful that he was not punished. However, he never expected that he would still receive a reward, and he would also receive a reward for a year. You must know that as Ouyang Lun's personal attendant, his monthly salary Set at 50 taels, that’s 600 taels a year! !
This is not a small sum! What kind of blessing has Master received? ! "Ah what? Forget it if you don't want to."
"Yes, thank you sir! Later I will personally keep an eye on the lady, and I will never let anyone disturb you!"
"Not bad! There is progress."
"Congratulations to Mr. Ouyang on your promotion!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Ouyang!"
In the reception room, when Ouyang Lun walked in, Wu Jingzhi/Li Fuyuan and other Beizhili officials all congratulated him.
Now Ouyang Lun's rank is almost the same as theirs. It is no longer the relationship between superior and subordinate in the past, but a real colleague. In addition, Ouyang Lun now has his own halo. Everyone wants to get closer to Ouyang Lun. Others This is especially true for officials.
"Lao Wu/Lao Li and Lao He, we are all old friends, why do you still do this to me!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Master Ouyang is now the chief envoy of Beizhili and the commander of the capital. With the military and political power in his hands, we subordinates naturally want to come over and pay homage!" Li Fuyuan said with a smile.
"Old Li, what you are saying is trying to sway me! I am only the right-hand envoy, and Old Wu is the leader. As for the commander-in-chief, he is also the commander-in-chief of the State of Wei. I have to obey his orders. To put it bluntly, I am The second-in-command has been promoted, but the power is still the same. What I said is that it is easy to use in Yong'an Mansion, but after leaving Yong'an Mansion, it will not work at all!"
Ouyang Lun doesn't have much desire for power. After all, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He will be very happy if he manages Yong'an Mansion well.
"Master Ouyang, please don't say that." He Fang stood up at this time and saluted Ouyang Lun, "I will be working under you from now on, please take good care of me, Shangguan!"
"Old He, look what you said!" Ouyang Lun hugged He Fang, "We have lived together in heaven and earth, and we also experienced the siege of the city by bandits. The last time Prime Minister Hu Weiyong tried to mobilize troops to arrest me, it was also It's up to you to mediate, and as long as you can trust Ouyang Lun, from now on we will have a good time and drink spicy food together!"
He Fang was also quite excited, "Master Ouyang, today I represent more than 1 guards from the Kaiping/Funing/Shanhai Guards of Yong'an Prefecture. He Fang puts my words here. From now on, as long as you give the order, I, the Yong'an Guards, will Mamoru is always available!!”
"Old He, what you said is wrong again. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The duty of the guard station is to guard the fields and guard the borders, protect our family and the country. Our allegiance will always be to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Majesty!"
"Master Ouyang is right!" He Fang and other officials also nodded in agreement with Ouyang Lun's words.
Ouyang Lun nodded, "I do have some ideas about the three guards of Yong'an. You can stay here later and we two brothers will have a good chat!"
"Okay!" He Fang nodded repeatedly. This was the nicest voice he heard today.
As long as Ouyang Lun is willing to take care of the three guards of Yong'an, with Ouyang Lun's ability, the three guards of Yong'an will definitely live a good life in the future. At least they will no longer have to worry about guarding their money, so he nods in agreement without hesitation.
And Li Fuyuan/Wu Jingzhi also looked at He Fang with envy. Even though He Fang had a high official position in the past, and now he has become Ouyang Lun's direct subordinate, He Fang is also the person closest to Ouyang Lun among the three of them. , Yongan Sanwei's life will probably be the best in the future.
Seeing that He Fang had been accepted by Ouyang Lun, Wu Jingzhi/Li Fuyuan spoke quickly.
"Lord Ouyang, you and I are now the chief envoys of Beizhili. You will have to share the rain and the dew in the future, and you can't only favor Yong'an Mansion!" Wu Jingzhi warned.
If possible, he was even willing to hand over the political envoy Zuo of Northern Zhili to Ouyang Lun, and he would just be his deputy.
"Master Ouyang, and me!" Li Fuyuan also spoke quickly.
