Chapter Ninety-six Shen Papi
Tang Yin suddenly got what he wanted and couldn't believe that what was happening in front of him was true for a moment, but he saw his wife wearing a wedding dress and walking out with a bag in her hand, graceful and graceful scene, just like a scene he had seen in his dream.
That's it?
Too simple!
If I had known this, what would I have agreed to go to Qiongzhou? I would just come to pick up my wife home, and I would be slapped in vain... I owe him a favor for no reason and need to go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to pay off his debts. This time I was really losing money.
Miss Xia walked to Tang Yin with a shy and shy look down, and called out sweetly: "Honey husband."
This sound was something that Tang Yin had been looking forward to for a long time. When he heard it, he felt relieved. Before he could come back to his senses, Chen Xi reminded him: "Brother Tang, are you not satisfied with taking your wife back now?"
Tang Yin thought to himself, of course I am satisfied, but this is based on the fact that I owe you favors. I just came back from Luzon Island and hadn't even told you what I saw on the island. Is it too difficult to go to Qiongzhou like this? He thought for a while and said to Xia Kuan in a tentative tone: "Brother Tingsu, the old lady's illness has not yet been cured, and it seems that she should keep her humble in her house to take care of her more."
A word revealed Tang Yin's nature and liked to be clever. He thought that this would happen to his wife with him. He would do it himself, and he didn't want to fulfill his previous promise to go to Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, Xia Kuan's eyes lit up, and his face was a little grateful: "It is rare that Brother Tang is so considerate of his younger sister↖ and his mother, so let's keep her here for his brother..."
Tang Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this!
This script is wrong. I just said politely. When I turned around and negotiated with "Shenpig" with the conditions, I was more righteous. I didn't really want to keep my wife at my parents' home. Why is your brother-in-law so inhumane? Are you going to raise your sister into an old lady in love?
Chen Xi glared at Tang Yin with annoyance, then smiled and said to Xia Kuan: "Mr. Qingshan, Brother Tang is about to travel far to Qiongzhou Prefecture. This trip is long and far away. If he and his wife can go together, I will feel more at ease. Brother Tang, what do you think?"
The adults ignored the villain's passing. Chen Xi put his hand on Tang Yin's shoulder, and a look of teasing appeared in his eyes... If you have the ability, you are tough and say that you will not go to Qiongzhou, and see if Xia Kuan gives you his wife!
Tang Yin was suspicious at this moment. What method did Chen Xi use to make Xia Kuan change his mind? But he couldn't figure it out. He only knew that Xia Kuan returned his wife for Shen Xi's sake. It would be useless to say more now. He either agreed to the conditions to take his wife home, and set off for Qiongzhou Prefecture in a few days, or left his wife at her parents' home and continued to be an isolated person in Guangzhou Prefecture.
Choose one of two, there are gains and losses. There is no hope of passing the exam in this life, and a small exam is right in front of you, so Tang Yin has no choice but to refuse it.
At this moment, Xia Kuan spared no effort to persuade: "Brother Tang, it's very hard for you to travel to Qiongzhou. Let your sister accompany you to help you solve your problems."
Tang Yin could only salute helplessly: "I will definitely live up to Shen Zhongcheng's entrusted."
Chen Xi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I have always believed in Brother Tang's ability to do things. I will leave you with the new Yantian. I will be relieved."
After the incident, Tang Yin was extremely depressed and was trapped by Chen Xi again, and lost his temper for a while.
Chen Xi brought some chicken, duck, fish and meat. Xia Kuan asked his wife and sister to prepare. Miss Xia took the bag out and put it on the carriage and came back to help clean it up.
It was not lunch or dinner. It was not yet You hour, and it was not counted as the meal time. However, Xia Kuan had a good wine that had been stored in the cellar for many years, and even Chen Xi couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and Tang Yin was even drunk.
At dusk, Miss Xia helped her husband out of the yard, and from then on she became a Tang family wife.
Xia Kuan was grateful to Chen Xi and bowed to him before leaving: "I thank you Lord Shen for awakening Bo Hu's ambitions. In the future, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law asked Lord Shen to give me more and take care of him."
Chen Xi smiled. Your brother-in-law is a ignorant scholar. I promised to fight for him in the future so that he could become an official in the court or take the imperial examination again, but it also depends on whether he was competing for him. As for your sister, she is a Tang family wife, where is my turn to take care of her?
However, for the sake of face, Chen Xi still wanted to give Xia Kuan, so he nodded immediately, and then came out with Zhu Qi and others. Although he drank two more drinks, he did not take a car like Tang Yin, but rode a horse and returned to Guangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Xi did not return to the house that day, but went to Huiniang's place and spent the night with Huiniang.
Hui Niang was pregnant, and as a husband, he could not always swear to accompany him if he had something to do. When he arrived at the outside house, in addition to enjoying Hui Niang's warmth, Li Jin was also understanding. He took advantage of his drunkenness and hugged him left and right, stayed in the boudoir where he was happy. It was not until the next morning that tiny snowflakes floated up in the sky, and Chen Xi returned to Guanyi.
At this moment, Tang Yin had already completed the wedding ceremony, and with a hint of spring breeze on his face, he came over to "thank you" to Chen Xi.
Chen Xidao: "Brother Bohu does not need to thank you. I have already arranged the trip to Qiongzhou for you. I will leave for the 16th day of the first lunar month and take three or five months to go. I will be able to return after the success before midsummer."
The smile on Tang Yin's face immediately faded and he saluted: "Shen Zhongcheng, I'm just married, how many days can I be graceful?"
Chen Xi flatly refused: "Brother Bo Hu should understand that in the officialdom, the most important thing is to do business. Since Brother Bo Hu has agreed before, he should do his job according to the rules."
"When I go to Qiongzhou Prefecture, I will open a total of three salt fields to turn salt into salt fields to dry salt. The specific construction measures have been listed for you in detail. As for the cost of money, I will allocate them to you. By the end of May, the salt fields must be completed and put into production. By the time summer salt is released in August, the three salt fields under the charge of Brother Bo Hu will carry the salt used by half of the people in the three southeastern provinces."
Tang Yin pulled back as soon as he heard this. No matter how awesome the salt field you mentioned, it is impossible for half of the three salt fields to be responsible for the use of salt in the three provinces. Do you really think that it doesn’t take time to dry salt?
Tang Yin was about to protest, Chen Xi had handed over the detailed drawings to Tang Yin and gave some explanations, mainly involving the call of civilians, the construction of salt fields, the specific process of salt drying, etc. The focus was on the structure of the Yantian water storage lake, the Yangshui station, the junior high school senior evaporation pool, and the crystallization area.
After listening patiently, Tang Yin waved his hand: "Shen Zhongcheng wants to find someone to promote the method of drying salt. Have you ever asked the court for instructions?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Is it a slander to me, Is it a slander?"
"I believe it after the next words. Since I agree, I will definitely go, but I am just a Confucian scholar who knows nothing about building salt fields and drying salt. Why didn't Shen Zhongcheng find those real experts?" Tang Yin said with confidence.
I don't understand, but you insist on looking for me. You are the governor of the three provinces and you are doing some difficult things on weekdays?
Chen Xi frowned and asked, "I wonder Brother Bo Hu, the method of salt drying in salt fields was first implemented in the Ming Dynasty. Where can I find experts to find a master?"
Tang Yin felt uncomfortable when he heard this. It was actually the first time he was implementing it. Don’t say that this drawing was designed by you. Even if it was designed by you, you would find someone from the Salt Course Training Department or transfer people from the coastal salt farm of Guangdong Province. I am not even an official. How can I dispatch local officials and civilians in Qiongzhou Prefecture on weekdays?
"I know that Brother Bo Hu has concerns. If Brother Bo Hu has any questions, what is wrong with me? Just refer to the drawings of this official. There will be people in the Qiongzhou local governments responsible for measuring the land. If salt is dried and salt is used, they can call local stoves in Qiongzhou, and they can also spend money to hire workers. If Brother Bo Hu returns after completing his errands, I promise that I will not arrange such a difficult errand for Brother Bo Hu in the future."
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Come on, bring up the wedding gift that was given to Tang Jieyuan!"
Ma Jiu brought a few brothers in the carriage and horse gang and carried two big boxes into the hall. When he opened it, he found that there were not only cloth, rice and grain, but also copper coins and silver coins, equivalent to fifty or sixty stagnants.
Tang Yin widened his eyes at a glance. According to the contract he signed for a three-year salary of ten taels per month that he had signed for the second time, these things could pay his salary of half a year.
Chen Xi sighed, "If there weren't too few people around me who could entrust heavy responsibilities, I would definitely not let Brother Bo Hu go this time. When Brother Bo Hu returns, he will give him a hundred taels of silver as a reward. What do you think?"
Tang Yin looked at Chen Xi in surprise. The governor actually used money to buy him? This time, he could easily get 150 taels of silver. Chen Xi's salary was not that much in half a year. Where did he get the money and pay the salary?
However, the amount of this money made Tang Yin unable to refuse.
In the past, Tang Yin was alone and had no worries about his family. Now he has married a wife and has children in the future. As the head of the family, he must be responsible and cannot give up his children. Chen Xi especially allowed him to take his newlywed wife on the way. When he went to Qiongzhou Prefecture, he was only responsible for dispatching and directing others to work. He had completed his errand before the midsummer and heat came. Although this trip was hard, it was worth it.
Tang Yin bowed: "I will do it next."
"good."
Chen Xi smiled and nodded, "Brother Bo Hu, I have asked someone to prepare a few jars of good wine for you. You can rest in the next few days and enjoy the joy of the boudoir. After the Lantern Festival, I will personally send you south. The welfare of the people in the three southeastern provinces depends on you alone."
Tang Yin suddenly felt a sense of tragic feeling, as if he was going to the execution ground to practice wine before going to the execution ground. He wondered in his mind, could there be some major disaster in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and he was so slapped that he insisted on forcing me to die?
After several jars of good wine were carried in, Chen Xi approached Tang Yin: "Brother Bohu, don't be surprised. In fact, I think that after the beginning of spring, I will lead my troops north to plow the pirates and Japanese pirates. It is very dangerous. If Brother Bohu doesn't go to Qiongzhou Prefecture, he will inevitably accompany me to endure hardships at sea. Such a good job in Qiongzhou Prefecture makes me envious."
Tang Yin thought about it and was right.
If you don’t go to Qiongzhou Prefecture, you have to go to war with Chen Xi.
The officers and soldiers fought to make achievements, Chen Xi led the army to gain the appreciation of the emperor, and why did Tang Yin go to war as an aide? He had already been on the blacklist of the court and could not be rewarded for his contributions, but if there was any mistake, he might have lost his life. It would be more comfortable to go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to work as a businessman. He had a beautiful wife and wine to accompany him, and he could also enjoy the feeling of shouting and shouting. He was the governor Chen's ruling, and the prefect of Qiongzhou had to give him three points of face.
Just thinking that this job was entrusted, the other party kept saying envy, and he felt uncomfortable.
Tang Yin said: "If Shen Zhongcheng is really envious, it would be okay to exchange it!"
