Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Mingyu went straight to Shuitian Pavilion in anger, and Chen Yizhe welcomed him to the Mingyue Tower, which was built last year, to serve tea. Also sitting with him were Ye Mengfu, Yuan Sanshan and Zhang Xu.

    After the extremely simple greetings, Li Mingyu rejected Chen Yizhe's proposal to invite Xiao to take a look at Shuitian Pavilion, and expressed two meanings in a cold tone.  First, since the general office of the Literary Society is located in Yangzhou, the Qingyin Literary Society is under the jurisdiction of the Yanggang Gang Yamen. However, without the approval of the Zhou Yamen, the Literary Society has announced its establishment without authorization. This move is extremely inappropriate.  [Search for the latest updates here.]

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    As soon as Ye Mengfu said this, the four of them looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.  After Li Mingyu finished speaking, Chen Yizhe smiled and explained, and gave two reasons: First, the association papers were an elegant gathering of literati, and were not comparable to those of merchants' guilds. Since the previous dynasty, they had been left to their own devices, and the court had not  Wujie Literary Society had to first report to the department for approval, so the establishment of Qingyin Literary Society did not violate the imperial decree.

    Secondly, the notice only advocated a new style of writing, and did not contain any words of encouragement expressed by Mr. Jijun. Furthermore, the promotion of a style of writing did not hinder local stability, did not damage the authority of Yousi, and was conducive to boosting local literary movement.  I also ask Li Shijun to be careful about this and not to take it as a surprise.

    Li Mingyu not only was not relieved after hearing Chen Yizhe's explanation, but the expression on his face became even more severe.  Shen Shengyan said that the Qingyin Literary Society collected all the flowers from Jiangnan Shilin. It was too large and influential and could not compare with other small literary societies.  In view of this, Yang Gangyamen had to take on the responsibility of supervision.

    From the standpoint of the government, this statement seems reasonable; but for Chen Yizhe and others, there is no such precedent, and it seems to be a strong statement.  In order to protect the interests of the family, Li Mingyu could not give in. After Xiaoyu's notices were distributed throughout Jiangnan, Chen Yizhe, the leader of the Qingyin Literary Society, had no room to give in. Therefore, both parties held their own positions and each spoke their own words. The more they spoke, the greater the differences.  , and in the end it became an argument.

    Li Mingyu comes from a famous family and has been arrogant since he was a child. At the same time, he was also the governor of a state, so he was used to bossing around in Yangzhou.  How could there be room for Chen Yizhe to argue with him?  At the beginning, he tried to endure it because he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, but in the end, he could no longer endure it, and Hei walked away with a sullen face.

    Less than an hour after he left, the state government officials came to Shuitian Pavilion together with two groups of more than 20 government officials.  The clerks took away all the list of founders, articles of association, and other items of Qingyin Literary Society, while the government servants held the execution lot and executed the Mingyue Tower, where the headquarters of Qingyin's father society was located.

    When the official left, he left a strict order. Without the approval of the state government, the Qingyin Literary Society was not allowed to hold any poetry or literary activities. Otherwise, Chen Yizhe, the leader of the society, Ye Yuan and other social managers would be severely punished.

    That afternoon, while Chen Yizhe and others were having urgent discussions about the changes, the eldest son who inherited Chen Yizhe's maritime affairs suddenly came to tell him that a group of four ships that the Chen family had just returned from Zhenla Kingdom had been detained by the Municipal Shipping Department.

    The Chen family has been doing business for decades and has always been cautious. In the past twenty years, the Chen family's ship has never been picked up by the city's shipping department. Now it is detained at this juncture, whether it is opened or late, and it is said that there is no such thing.  What the heck, that's really a damn thing.

    Maritime trade is looking for time. As the first fleet to return from Chenla this yearthe earlier the goods are put on the market, the better the price will be. On the contrary, every day will be a huge loss.  Moreover, the cost of maritime trade is too high. If there is any big problem with these four ships of goods, the Chen family will be severely damaged.

    After hearing his son¡¯s urgent warning, the usually cheerful Chen Yizhe was so angry that his beard and hair trembled, ¡°Li Mingyu, you are such a villain!¡±

    While Ye Mengfu and Yuan Sanshan comforted Chen Yizhe, they felt bitter in their hearts. The main financial source of Qingyin Literary Society was the Chen family. Li Mingyu was trying to cut off the roots of Qingyin Literary Society. What would Qingyin Literary Society do if there was no money?  Poetry meeting and literary meeting?  Without these activities, how can scholars be united and how can they advocate a new style of writing?  By then, even if Qingyin Literary Society can exist, it will only exist in name only.

    When Ye and Yuan endured the pain in their hearts to comfort Chen Yizhe, Zhang Xu, who was even more impatient, arrived at the Yamen of the Governor's Office in Yangzhou together. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang had already gone out of state on business with the Governor's Chief Shi, and his trip was in vain.  .

    Looking for Lu Xiang, he didn't meet him first, and there was nothing he could do when he went back. Zhang Xu, who was worried, came down from Shugang and went all the way to Tang Song's place. When he entered the door, he loudly asked for wine.

    At this time, Tang Song was reading a piece of official document that had just been sent to Hongwen Seal by the state government. Seeing Zhang Xu's melancholy and puzzled look, he hurriedly went to meet Zhang Xu. After some questioning, he learned about the execution of Mingyue Tower.  Immediately, he picked up Zhang Xu's car and went straight to Shuitian Pavilion.

    When the two of them arrived, they saw no less than seven or eight carriages parked in the pavilion. Some girls and boys gathered beside the carriages and horses and talked incessantly. They heard what they said when they passed by.It was about the execution of the Chen Jiahai fleet. He also said that the Chen family treated their servants well and that with the blessings of gods and Buddhas, they could survive this calamity smoothly. Their servants were really unwilling to join other families.

    Just now, Zhang Xu only said that Mingyue Tower was sealed and Chen Jiahai's fleet was detained, but not that. After Tang Song asked about it, the two of them also arrived at the monastery where Chen Yizhe was.

    Pushing the door open, a large monastery was filled with people.  Chen Yizhe, who was sitting in the main seat, looked gloomy and haggard, with blisters appearing on his mouth. Ye Mengfu and Yuan Sanshan sat beside him, with a lot of embarrassment in addition to anxiety on their faces.

    Seeing the two people coming in, Chen Yizhe and the other three stood up to greet them. Except for two pairs of men and women who were sitting, no one moved, and they looked at Tang Song and Zhang Xu with very unfriendly eyes.

    Seeing this, Chen Yizhe said angrily: "You bastard!" Seeing that he was angry, those people stood up reluctantly and reluctantly saluted, but the unfriendly look in their eyes was even worse.

    After Tang Song returned the gift, he and Zhang Xu went directly to sit down next to Ye Yuan. Only then did they realize that these people in the room were Chen Yizhe's family, four sons and daughters-in-law, plus a daughter and son-in-law who relied on the Chen family to make a living.

    These people have lived in Yangzhou City for a long time and usually don¡¯t come to Shuitian Pavilion often.

    But today I heard that after the naval fleet was blocked, they all came together. What they said was that the old man should not have offended Li Shijun of the state government for the Qingyin Literary Society. The embarrassment between Ye Mengfu and Yuan Sanshan also originated from this.  .

    After Tang Song and Zhang Xu sat down, the conversation in the room resumed. They complained that Chen Yizhe shouldn't be too busy with things and didn't consider his children and grandchildren. These four ships of overseas goods were incredible and offended the government.  How will maritime trade be conducted in the future?

    Tang Song listened quietly, and saw that the three sons and daughters-in-law who had not stood up to greet the guests were speaking. As for the second son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law who had just stood up, they remained silent, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?:??????????????????????????? ¨C????????????????? ¨C??????????????????????????????????¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯'''s blaming the old man¡¯s complaint¡¯?? ¨C was all about Qingyin Literary Society. This scene really made Tang Song feel embarrassed.  After complaining, those people changed the topic and got to the point. They asked the old man to go to the state government office to apologize to Li Mingyu, and from now on, Xiuye ??should not have anything to do with Qingyin Literary Society. It would be best to sell Shuitian Pavilion as well.  Hearing this, Chen Yizhe was so angry that he trembled all over. He threw down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, pointed at his three sons and said sternly!  "The Chen family's business is not inherited from our ancestors. It was built with my own hands and feet. I am still alive and will not allow you rebellious beasts to dictate"

    Chen Yizhe was so angry that those few people did not dare to say anything anymore. It was just that although the wives kept their mouths shut, their hands were not idle. They pinched and twisted, and the children who came with him suddenly burst into tears.

    Suddenly, there was a loud cry in the monastery, which made Chen Yizhe so angry that he almost breathed his last.

    Karamatsu originally didn¡¯t want to interfere in other people¡¯s family affairs. After all, it was extremely rude.  But seeing that the scene had reached this point, he couldn't care less. He coughed slightly and stood up slowly.

    His move made everyone startled and the crying slowly subsided.  Tang Song ignored the disdain of those people and said to Chen Yizhe with a smile: "Yangzhou Yamen has nothing to do with the Shipping Department Yamen. These ships of sea cargo were only detained but not confiscated. It's not worth it to be so angry"

    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sharp sneer, "This young prime minister said it so lightly. This is not your family's business, and it is not your family's money that is wasted! Instead of saying these useless empty words  , Why don¡¯t you persuade my father-in-law to quickly apologize to Li Cishi, and the officials will guard each other, my Chen family is really going to die, but let¡¯s see how you, my little husband, cheat on you, eat, drink, and beat the autumn wind"

    Just as the eldest daughter-in-law finished speaking, the third daughter-in-law added with a sneer, "If there is no Chen family, there is also the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Li family. If it's too big, just change it to another family. Although these people can't study and become officials, they can't be officials."  The mouth that deceives people into eating and drinking can be practiced very skillfully"

    Chen Yizhe has been attracted to Shilin for many years and has spent a lot of money on this land, especially on helping the poor and building Shuitian Pavilion. Not to mention these daughters-in-law, even the three sons and his son also have very different opinions.  big.  It's just that the old man was so powerful that they didn't dare to say anything.  This time, using this excuse, the two women who had been dissatisfied for many years finally took the lead in attacking.  I hope that through this commotion, I can not only force Chen Yizhe to submit to the state government, but also completely cut off his contact with Shilin and block the Chen family's bottomless pit of money.

    These two sharp-tongued women sang and sang, and they were really unforgiving. Ye Mengfu and Yuan Sanshan had been attached to Chen Yizhe for many years. When they heard this, they immediately blushed and wanted to get up.  Chen Yizhe even trembled and wanted to take action.

    Tang Song ignored the two women and didn't even look at them. After he raised his hand to stop the excited Ye and Yuan, he smiled at Chen Yizhe with an unchanging expression: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhe, let's just"We can talk after the matter of the four sea-going ships is settled"

    Seeing that Karamatsu didn¡¯t even look at them, the sisters-in-law couldn¡¯t stand it, and instead felt even more ashamed and angry. While pushing their husbands, they sneered and taunted Karamatsu with evil words, making the words of cheating and drinking loud and clear.  Seeing that the trouble was really outrageous, the second son, his wife, his daughter and son-in-law came forward to persuade him, but they were scolded and ridiculed for a while.

    Just when the two people were having a serious fight, Chen Yizhe opened his eyes and took a good look at the three sons and daughters-in-law, then closed his eyes and turned around and stopped talking. He obviously made some decision in his heart.  Tang Song, on the other hand, summoned paper and pen and wrote a very short letter.

    After finishing the letter, I saw that my son-in-law, who was dependent on the Chen family for a living, was being taken care of by his three sisters-in-law. He could not stand up straight, so he waved to him and said, "Brother, please take this letter to the Shibo Shi Yamen and bring it to you."  Let¡¯s bring out the detained ship and then talk¡­¡±

    Where is the City Shipping Department?  Even if a large merchant from Yangzhou wanted to see Ambassador Zhao, he would have to come to the door in person with a formal invitation. When he could meet Ambassador Zhao would depend on his mood.  As for asking him to do things, no one can lose face without real money.  This is already well known to Yangzhou maritime merchants.

    Seeing that Tang Song, who was no more than a young man, actually wrote such a big letter, not only talking about gold and silver, but even without showing his face, he dared to say that he could lead out the detained ship. The few people who were making a fuss were really happy.  Suddenly, he laughed again and again, and the sarcastic words poured out like a tide.

    The son-in-law didn¡¯t believe that Tang Song could do this, but he was really embarrassed by his three sisters-in-law, so he took this opportunity to hide away. Without saying anything, he took the letter and went out.

    Friend, do you have any friendship with Ambassador Zhao?  "

    "There is still some friendship, but I don't know if it can be put to use" Tang Song sat down and smiled lightly, "If we can really lead the sea ship out of San, it won't be too late to explain it to Zhe Weng"

    After saying that, he started chatting with Ye Banfu and Yuan Sanshan, talking about some trivial matters in Hongwen Seal Society. The matter itself was insignificant, but this move effectively alleviated the embarrassment of Ye and Yuan.

    At the moment, Tang Song and others were talking together, while Chen Yizhe ignored his sons and daughters-in-law for the time being and joined in.  Those noisy ones didn't leave, partly because they didn't achieve the purpose of coming here, and partly because they wanted to stay here to watch Karamatsu's jokes. They were ready to show off and get angry as soon as the jokes were over, and they had to force them no matter what.  It would be best if the old man complied with their wishes.

    For a time, there were two distinct factions in the Jingshe. Each of the two factions spoke their own words. Slowly, more than half an hour passed.  At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses outside the monastery. It was obvious that someone was riding a horse all the way here.

    Hearing this sound, the people in the monastery immediately looked towards the door in unison, especially the noisy couples who became energetic.

    The sound of galloping horses stopped at the door. After a while, the son-in-law pushed the door open and came in. Without saying anything, he bowed to Tang Songshen.

    Karamatsu stood up and moved out of the way, "Has the boat captain left?"

    ¡°Bring it out.¡± The son-in-law¡¯s voice was so loud that even he felt a little embarrassed.  Hearing this, those few who were making a fuss stood up and asked, "Seriously?"

    Chen Yizhe's son-in-law didn't look at them just like Tang Song did before. He turned around and bowed respectfully to his father-in-law. "My son-in-law just arrived at the Shibosi Yamen, and he was personally seen by Zhao Shishi. After asking him what happened,  Ambassador Zhao immediately ordered the ship to be released and even exempted 30% of the sea tax for this trip"

    Minister Zhao is as famous for his bad words as his dirty tricks, but this time he really let it go?  Not only was it released, but it was also exempted from 30% of sea tax. This is 30%!  After hearing this, those noisy people stood and looked at their sister-in-law and then at Tang Song, their blank faces full of disbelief.

    The son-in-law still ignored them and just reported to Chen Yizhe: "Steward Chen has taken care of the matter of collecting the impounded ships. Ambassador Zhao asked his son-in-law to pay tribute to Lord Taishan: 'I have heard that Zheweng is a local wise man.  I am very sorry that I was delayed for a while due to official duties! I will come to visit you in the near future, not only to comfort my longing thoughts, but also to thank Zhe Weng for taking care of Shangguan Li, the son of an old friend in my hometown"

    "That's it." Chen Yizhe laughed loudly and reached out to pat Tang Song's shoulder and arm, "You and I are in love with each other. If you are grateful, I won't say anything. After I have taken care of the housework, it won't be too late for us to discuss the matter of Qingyin Literary Society  ¡­¡±

    Hearing this, Tang Song smiled, got up and left the monastery with Ye Yuan and Zhang Xu.
