Hangzhou is an irregular rectangle.
A main street runs from north to south. The closer the mansion is to Fenghuang Mountain in the south, the more prosperous it becomes.
The Wang family is located halfway up Fengshui Mountain, covering an area of more than ten acres, with green curtains and beautiful scenery. It is a first-class Feng Shui treasure land.
After discussing countermeasures with Hangzhou Zhizhou and others, the head of the Wang family felt that his health was much better.
After everyone left, he suddenly became interested, changed his clothes, and walked east across the courtyard alone.
"Master, you are still ill, why did you get up?"
A beautiful young woman in her twenties came out with a three-year-old boy and saluted.
The head of the Wang family nodded, walked towards the courtyard and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'm much better now."
When he reached the hall, he suddenly turned around and looked at the young woman and said:
"Ms. Li, I have decided to deal with Cao Bin."
The young woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly showed a look of surprise:
"master......"
With that said, he quickly sent his servants to take the boy out, then he hugged the head of the Wang family, sucked the old man's face and said:
"Master, thank you!"
The head of the Wang family wanted to push her away, but in the end he refused. He hugged her slim waist and smiled bitterly:
"Cao Bin is too arrogant. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be his enemy."
The young woman unconsciously showed a contemptuous smile, but immediately covered it up and said:
"Cao Bin ruined my family, and even my sister who entered the palace was forced to death by him."
"There is also my husband, who is your eldest son. He was stabbed more than thirty times by the thieves, and he has nothing to do with Cao Bin."
"With such deep hatred, even if the master wants to reconcile, how can Thief Cao be relieved?"
The head of the Wang family sighed and said:
"That's all. Since he refuses to reconcile, let's have a fight."
As he spoke, he showed a ruthless look and said:
"A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake. I want him to know who has the final say in Jiangnan."
"If he doesn't want to flee back to the capital in despair, he must marry his daughter over."
"When the time comes, that girl's title will also fall into our family."
In his opinion, Cao Bin's love for his daughter was just words.
When the time comes, when he has to choose between his future and his daughter, he will definitely choose his future.
The young woman looked at him speechlessly and said:
"Let my son marry his daughter? No!"
"I want Cao Bin to die in Jiangnan."
When the old man saw the vicious and crazy look on her face, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly said:
"Cao Bin is considered to be a high-ranking official now. He is an important official in the court and can only use official methods. Please don't mess around!"
When the young woman heard this, she immediately concealed the cruel look in her eyes, smiled gently, reached down and grabbed it and said:
"I like to mess around. I have all the master's cocks in my hands."
The head of the Wang family suddenly flew into the sky, his eyes shot out green light and said:
"You little temptress, Brother Li should have let you into the palace, not your sister..."
At this time, Shi Qian was also reporting detailed information about the Wang family to Cao Bin.
After hearing this, Cao Bin realized that he had a close relationship with the Wang family and had a long-standing feud.
The eldest son of the Wang family and Cai Jing's son Cai Xiao were classmates at Imperial College. When they were running a newspaper in Xiangyang, they were captured alive by Fang Baihua.
Later, he was tricked by Cai Xiao, causing Fang Baihua to stab him more than thirty times, and he died a bit miserable.
The prince's wife is not a simple person either.
Li Tang, who died in Xixia, was her biological uncle, and Li Meiren was her cousin.
Just like that, the head of the Wang family still wants to marry his daughter, which shows that he has bad intentions.
Cao Bin suddenly felt that it would be too easy for him to only give him a big pussy tease.
Later, Shi Qian said:
"Master Hou, we found that there is something wrong with the public opinion in Hangzhou."
"Many local people said that the refugees outside the city were brought here to eat them."
"There are also some bad comments among refugees and the military..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin nodded and said:
"I understand. If you continue to have people investigate, it's best to find the source of the rumors."
He has roughly understood the Wang family's methods, which are just to unite to exclude him and file a complaint in the court.
If it gets more serious, a mutiny may be planned.
Sure enough, two days later, Bao Zheng hurriedly came to find him with a memorial, handed it to Cao Bin and said:
"This is the Book of Ten Thousand People given to me by Hangzhou officials."
"I want my officer to sign my name and impeach you together... What does Brother Bin have to say?"
Cao Bin took a look at the Book of the People and saw that in addition to the local officials, there were gentry behind him, and the first one in line was the head of the Wang family.
It says that Zhongjinghou detains refugees without reason, treats soldiers harshly, and wants to seize people's land and property, which makes heaven angry and people resentful.
After reading it, Cao Bin couldn't help laughing and said:
"Good fellow, these officials and gentry represent all the people, right?"
"This Book of Ten Thousand Peoples doesn't even have ten thousand people in it?"
"Master Bao, if you dare to falsify the memorial, will you be charged with deceiving the emperor?"
Bao Zheng was speechless. He found that Cao Bin's focus was always so unique and he said seriously:
"Cao Bin, don't underestimate local public opinion."
"If the court thinks that you have caused public anger, no matter whether it is true or false, the court will respond and appease the local people."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Bin and said:
"Also, what are you going to do by detaining so many refugees?"
"Not to mention the amount of food in Hangzhou, our Song Dynasty law also stipulates that if the local people delay the farming season and flee from their hometown for a hundred days, the land will be given to others."
"Do you really want to forcibly annex the lands of these states?"
Cao Bin said:
"What does Mr. Cao want to do with so much land? These gentry and wealthy people always focus on the land."
"They claim to be heirlooms of farming and reading, but this reading is just to hide their knowledge. Nowadays, books are cheap and easy to buy. They have no support, so they naturally have to work hard on farming."
"Are they going to farm it themselves? It's just for food land."
Bao Zheng looked at Cao Bin carefully and said in surprise:
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful about state affairs. Could it be that you are also interested in innovation?"
This was a bit unexpected for him. He didn't expect that Cao Bin, a general of the Wu Xun family, would have such ambitions. ,
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"Master Bao is overly complimentary, Cao didn't think that much."
"But the things in front of us can still be done well."
"For example, shouldn't the West Lake be dredged? That's why Cao told these refugees to wait. With government relief, at least fewer people will starve to death."
The economic conditions in Jiangnan were so good that he couldn't help but want to try his idea.
At least the West Lake should be repaired. ,
He also inadvertently stepped on a trap and asked Wu Song and Lu Zhishen to build the manor on the edge of the West Lake.
I thought I had gotten a bargain, but I didn't expect Su Beard hadn't appeared yet, and there was no Su Embankment. The silt had accumulated over the years, making the West Lake really ugly.
So the first thing to do is to change your living environment.
Bao Zheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said speechlessly:
"You're not using the public for personal gain just to please your wife and concubines, are you?"
"I know dredging the river is a good thing, but is now the right time? Where will the food come from?"
