Chapter 138 Idea
Daliang has a lot of engraved and privately engraved books over the years. Most of them are not controlled by the court, unless they involve some content that is not allowed to be engraved according to Daliang laws.
Although Liu Erniang was studying, she was not very clear about these things and could only look to her elder brother for help.
Liu Shizhang took a rough look at it: "There are no such things as Yin and Yang studies, military books, heretical cults, astronomical laws and calendars. It stands to reason that the government office does not need to impose strict control, but if the father comes forward to prohibit it, I am afraid of those Scholars will come to bother me."
Liu Erniang said: "What scholar, the one who printed this is the widow, the woman who sued Xie Chongjun."
Magistrate Liu was busy with official duties and could not pay attention to some things, but Xie Chongjun was mentioned twice in the past two days. Xie Chongjun is a businessman, so Magistrate Liu will not meet him, but he knows that this businessman is willing to do things according to his wishes.
Prefect Liu said: "I heard from the steward that the Xie family in Daming Prefecture is related to the Xie family in Kaifeng?"
Liu Shizhang said: "They are a branch of the Xie family in Kaifeng."
Prefect Liu doesn’t care very much.
Whether it is a side branch or not, that is all a matter of one sentence.
Rich families always have some shady side branches, some doing business and some hoarding land. These side branches suddenly disappear for no reason, and of course some of them will become real side tribesmen.
The Xie family in Daming Mansion is like this.
If it were just that, Magistrate Liu would not specifically ask this family, but the Xie family still has a porcelain kiln.
When the market opens, porcelain is one of the best-selling goods.
With such a big deal, the Liu family would naturally want to intervene.
Magistrate Liu looked at Liu Shizhang: "Is the Xie family's case very troublesome?"
Liu Shizhang said: "No, it's just that He Tan is here now."
He Tan came to Daming Mansion as an inspector. Inspector, in fact, this official rank is nothing to Magistrate Liu, but everyone knows that the He family belongs to the King of Qin.
The King of Qin is the adopted son of today's family. Although he returned home to observe mourning for his father the year before last and faded out of the court, he was recalled by the Tian family this year to take charge of Zongzheng Temple. His eldest son, Prince Huai, was granted a marriage by the Queen Mother. No matter how you look at it, it is only a matter of time before the prince is named crown prince.
So we can’t make King Qin unhappy.
And...
"The He family and the Wang family are in-laws, and it is difficult to deal with the two families being tied together," said Magistrate Liu. "We also assist King Qin. We are all on one side, but they are unwilling to cooperate with us. We are on the same road and must secretly implement their new policy."
"This is to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne."
Liu Shizhang nodded: "So, we should deal with He Tan. Be careful. "
He Tan is not scary, it is just a small inspection, but touching him will inevitably involve more and give He and Wang an excuse to start a fight.
Regardless of whether he wins or loses, Liu Shizhang may be transferred away from Daming Mansion. His foundation is in the northwest. Daming Mansion says it is just right for him. He can have close contact with his subordinates in the northwest without having to go to the bitter cold place to suffer, so he Will not give it to others easily.
“Don’t let He Tan get the handle.” Magistrate Liu said.
Liu Shizhang responded.
"Then don't care?" Liu Erniang said coquettishly upon seeing this, "Dad, that widow made a lot of noise in Daming Mansion. If this continues, I don't know who has the final say in Daming Mansion? ”
“The Xie family doesn’t have a smart person, at least give them some advice, so that others don’t take advantage of it and ruin things.”
Seeing that her father still didn't want to pay attention.
Liu Erniang suddenly thought of something and pointed to the tabloid: "Since it said that Buddhist charcoal is good, it would be a good thing for merchants to promote Buddhist charcoal, right?"
Prefect Liu picked up the Got the official document.
Liu Erniang continued: "This Buddhist charcoal was made by Baode Temple for the people. It is sold at such a low price to enable the people to survive the cold winter."
"So, The more people do this, the better.”
"When this thing disperses, there is no chance that it will flow into the capital... In short, it will be a political achievement for father." Liu Erniang got to the point.
Zhifu Liu raised his eyes.
Liu Erniang said: "Dad doesn't know that the clay stove for burning Buddhist charcoal was made by a small kiln of the Yang family. There are not many of them, and ordinary people can't buy them at all."
"So. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time for the people to go down?”
"In such a cold weather, as a parent of Daming Prefecture, dad must be considerate of the people... Why not mobilize all the pottery kilns in Daming Prefecture to make clay ovens. My daughter knows that there are many abandoned pottery kilns in Daming Prefecture. If there are merchants who can buy them, At least the people of Daming Prefecture can use the clay stove smoothly in winter."
The more Liu Erniang talked about it, the more it made sense: "And my daughter thinks that since things like Buddhist charcoal and clay stoves come from treasures. You can’t hide something private in a virtue temple. It should be known to everyone. Why should a widow be allowed to take it as her own?” Fangzi, the merchants of Daming Prefecture do their best to live up to the compassion of the Buddha."
Liu Erniang looked at her father expectantly.
After a while, Magistrate Liu looked at Liu Shizhang: "What do you think?"
Liu Shizhang said: "What the second sister said makes sense. I'll ask someone to talk to the county government. As for raising some merchants... it's better to leave it to the second sister."
Liu Erniang nodded: "I happen to know Xie Chonghai's wife , Daddy and elder brother don’t have to worry about these little things.”
Zhifu Liu turned his attention back to the documents. Seeing this, Liu Erniang felt blessed and quietly exited the study.
On the way back to her yard, Liu Erniang was particularly happy, and the tabloid in her hand was no longer so annoying.
The widow actually dared to disgrace the Liu family, so she let the woman know how much she would have to pay.
Thinking like this, Liu Erniang glanced at the tabloid again.
Damingfu tabloid.
A few words came into view again.
Liu Erniang suddenly felt that these words were particularly familiar. Looking intently, her heart sank. It couldn't be... Thinking of this possibility, she immediately quickened her pace, even faster than when she came.
Out of breath, she entered the yard and went straight to her small study. Then she found a box inside and opened the box, revealing the paper inside.
Liu Erniang flipped through the paper cherishedly, and then put it together with the tabloid in her hand.
What comes into view are extremely similar glyphs.
Liu Erniang’s heart beat even harder.
I don’t know how long I was stunned.
Liu Shizhang's voice came from outside the study.
Liu Erniang hurriedly put the box back, then stood up and welcomed Liu Shizhang into the door.
"There is something I want to remind you," Liu Shizhang looked a little serious, "I didn't follow your wishes and asked my father to close down the tabloid because the inscription on the tabloid seemed to me somewhat related to a person. Similar."
"I'm afraid this tabloid is not simple. It won't be too late until I investigate it carefully."
Liu Erniang nodded.
“You should also be more cautious,” Liu Shizhang continued, “If you feel something is wrong, let someone come find me.”
Liu Erniang said: "Brother, don't worry."
When Liu Shizhang left, Liu Erniang pursed her lips. If the tabloid was really related to the Wang family, then she...should seize this opportunity, at least not let others Stealing the limelight.
