Chapter 75 My Father Ouyang Xiu!(1/2)
Ouyang Bian found the chief official of Jiangling Prefecture and proposed to repair all the official roads on Jinghu North Road, which scared the people.
The head of Jiangling Mansion immediately said how difficult it is for Jiangling Mansion and that it is not appropriate to pay money and people. The implication is nothing more than not wanting to repair it.
However, when Ouyang Bian proposed that the central bank would pay the money, Jiangling Mansion would just need assistance.
As soon as these words were said, the chief officer immediately changed his face. If he hadn't been worried about his face, he would have patted his chest to make a guarantee.
Ouyang Bian didn't mind, as long as he was willing to cooperate.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t cooperate, as long as you don’t come out and point fingers.
Anyway, he was not for the local government. He just wanted to repair the road and make the business in the service area even more popular.
Except for Jiangling Prefecture, there is no need for Ouyang Bian to go to other states by himself.
Ouyang Bian issued a letter of public notice in the name of the Central Bank, just telling them that such a thing is enough, and the central bank still has this aspect.
Well... don't want to cooperate?
OK, let’s settle the loan from last year first?
Yes, now many prefectures and counties are looking for central banks to borrow money and then collect taxes in the middle of the year and then repay the accounts in a unified manner.
The place is so bitter!
The Song Dynasty was really hard. The three sects took charge of the national financial power. The local government had no money and no food. If you want to do something, you either hug the three sects, or lick your face and ask the local landlords and rich gentry to donate money, relying on the finances of the local government... Oh, that was paid for the salary.
The reason why Ouyang Bian asked Jiangling Mansion for support was mainly because Jiangling Mansion had a relatively high level, and he just said it to his face based on mutual respect.
Busy, time passes quickly.
In June of the fifth year of Jiayou, Ouyang Bian, who was still staring at the project in Jiangling Mansion, received a letter from his home and laughed after reading it.
Ouyang Xiu stepped down as an instructor to Kaifeng Prefecture and became the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor.
Originally, Kaifeng Prefecture's mission was the so-called "four heads". If there was no mistake, it was basically a minister.
Ouyang Xiu took the position of deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, and was probably not far from his husband's position.
Actually, I can probably call you a husband now.
The so-called prime minister is the name of the prime minister and the general ruler.
In the Song Dynasty, the Minister of the Song Dynasty (Ping Zhang in the Secretary of the Central Committee) was the Minister of the Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and Left and
The consul is the general title of Deputy Prime Minister and Second Chief of Privy Councillor.
The deputy prime minister has different titles such as the Chief Minister of Political Affairs, the Left Secretary of the Shangshu, the Right Chief Secretary, the Minister of the Jung-Secret Secretary, and the Minister of the Jung-Secret Secretary.
The second official of the Privy Councilor, there are Privy Councilors, deputy envoys, officials, officials, officials, and officials, and signing letters to the Privy Councilors.
So... he Ouyang Bian didn't have to report his name when he went out, just say "My father Ouyang Xiu".
My father was promoted, and as a son, of course he had to go back and congratulate him.
His dispatch was relatively free. After all, he was in charge of the various sanctions and was just fighting bandits. He was supposed to be sending around, and staying in the capital was called a corpse and a simple meal.
But now that my father Gao Sheng is now, his son has to go back and show his face.
When Mrs. Xue saw Ouyang Bian, she burst into tears and hugged Ouyang Bian who was already taller than her.
Ouyang Bian hugged his old mother helplessly.
Ouyang Xiu shrugged helplessly as he imitated him, meaning that you, a kid, have been away from home for too long. Look, your old mother is anxious.
However, as Xue Kui's daughter and Ouyang Xiu's wife, Xue had long been accustomed to this situation.
My father was like this when he was a child. There were very few people following him since he was a child.
When I got married to Ouyang Xiu, I followed me, but I wandered around, and this is what the so-called official travelers are like.
She was used to it, but she was still very nervous about this young man.
The emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love his youngest son.
After Xue hurriedly ran to arrange food after holding her youngest son.
According to her words, she was skinny and bone-skinned. However, Ouyang Xiu half raised his head to look at his youngest son, reached out to pat Ouyang Bian's large-scale chest muscles, and nodded with satisfaction.
"I've grown taller and strong, and now I'm a strong guy. People say that Di Yong looks like a native of the Song Dynasty, but I don't think so.
My son Ji Mo is the person in the Song Dynasty. He is not only handsome, but also the top scholar who sings outside Donghua Gate. This is the person!”
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Congratulations to my father Rong for being the prime minister!"
Ouyang Bian squinted his eyes and smiled. It was not because he was proud, but because his eye disease was a little serious. He kept reading and writing, and no matter how good his eyes were, he could not withstand such abuse.
"Oh, my son is old, and I am old too!"
Ouyang Xiu sighed.
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "What old is it? Father, you still want to be a political affairs officer and a member of the Secretariat. Your official career has just begun!"
Ouyang Xiu laughed: "That's right, by the way, your elder brother and sister-in-law are coming soon, your nephew hasn't been there yet, right?
What a guy, he is already so cute, very cute... Well, but he is not as cute as you when you were a child. When you were a child, you looked like a little adult, and always made me laugh. You are so big in the blink of an eye..."
Ouyang Xiu sighed a little.
Ouyang Bian smiled, his eyes a little wet.
My father is indeed old, with lush hair, turbid eyes, deep wrinkles on his face, and a little bent in his waist. From time to time, he will recall what happened when he was young.
Since Mei Yaochen passed away, Ouyang Bian has often expressed his feelings about seeing through life in his poems, which makes Ouyang Bian a little worried.
Ouyang Bian quickly opened the topic: "By the way, is the second brother's marriage decided?"
The second brother Ouyang Yi is already nineteen, so it’s time to settle down.
Ouyang Xiu laughed: "It's decided that the three daughters of Wu Xueshu's family are well-educated and virtuous, and they are very suitable for your second brother. The marriage of your third brother has also been decided, the youngest daughter of Lu Xueshu's family."
"Bachelor Lu?"
Ouyang Xiu explained with an oh, "Lu Gongchuo, Lu Xiang's eldest son, and Lu Gong Zhu's eldest brother."
Seeing Ouyang Bian's eyes in surprise, Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Although Lu Xiang and Wen Zhenggong had a fight, the fight was still an open fight, and there was no secret fight. The discussion was a state affairs rather than a private enemy. It also had the style of a gentleman, not an enemy.
Time has changed, and it has been so many years. We living people don’t have to care too much about those things, we should be tolerant.”
The so-called Lu Xiang and Wen Zhenggong are Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan.
Ouyang Bian nodded and thought to himself that you are happy.
The father and son chatted in the study for a while. The eldest brother Ouyang Fa's family came over and brought him a stupid human cub, yelling and asking Ouyang Bian to hug him.
Ouyang Bian hugged her in disgust, took out the special sugar she bought from Jinghu North Road from her pocket and stuffed it into her nephew's mouth, which had not yet grown teeth. Then, after a while, both uncle and nephew laughed happily.
"Silly child! You... are stupid kids!" Ouyang Bian shook his nephew.
The little nephew is not worthy of being outdone: "Stupid Uncle, Stupid Uncle!"
The whole family burst into laughter.
Ouyang Yi was back soon, and Ouyang Fu was also back. Ouyang Fu was alone in the yard where Ouyang Bian sent him to study hard to prepare for the exam. When he heard that Ouyang Bian had returned, he hurried home.
At this time, my mother must make delicious food. My mother Xue cooked delicious food, but there are only two situations for cooking. One is the food on the table on New Year's Eve, and the other is that my youngest son Ouyang Bian wants to eat it.
Since my youngest brother Ouyang Bian is back, the dishes on this table tonight must be very grand.
Sister-in-law Wu took advantage of Ouyang Bian to play with her son and said quietly to Ouyang Bian: "Uncle Yao, I have something to ask you."
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Wu is the daughter of Wu Chong, the master of imperial edicts.
Wu was a little embarrassed: "My uncle passed away two years ago. The eldest son and the second son all had a father's favor, but the youngest son did not yet..."
Ouyang Bian said, Wu Chong's elder brother was Wu Yu.
Speaking of the Wu family, it is also a family of officials. Wu Chong and Wu Yu's father was Wu Waiwen, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wu Yu himself also served as the position of assistant to the political affairs.
But Ouyang Bian was a little surprised. Wu Yu was dead, but now Wu Chong is also a master of imperial edicts and is considered a senior official. The family is the family of the magistrate. It should not be difficult to do something about the official. What does the sister-in-law mean?
Seeing Ouyang Bian's expression, Wu explained: "It's okay for my father to help his cousin get a Yin official, but it's hard to find a suitable dispatch."
Ouyang Bian nodded and smiled, "What does sister-in-law mean?"
"Can you arrange a position in the central bank for him?" Wu said.
Ouyang Bian nodded: "Sister-in-law asked him to come over and I'll arrange it in if it's right."
Wu Shixi said: "That would be the best, but Uncle Yao, what position can you arrange for him?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the case. Can I make the decision on the matters in the central bank? I will tell you the truth. Yes.
But the position of the central bank is very professional. It doesn’t mean that if I ask him to do it, he will definitely be able to sit still.
If my cousin suffers and is smart enough, then the branch president and even the branch president can do it.
If you can't endure hardship and are not smart enough, then arrange a free position for him, which is also a good job. Sister-in-law, do you think it's OK?"
Wu Shixi said: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Yao, but can Uncle Yao not tell your elder brother about this? If he knows, he will have to scold me again."
Ouyang Bian smiled and nodded: "Brother is too square. He said, "Where will I refuse me as a brother, it's not a matter of violating the principles."
