Chapter 124 To all my brothers, frugality and purchase of land to help the poor

【original】 Chenghou Wen Fuzi Zhi Jihong and his four younger brothers: On July 13th, I received a letter from my brother Cheng on the seventh day of June, informing me of everything. I sent a total of four letters in June, did I receive all of them?This year, Lu Fei Zhong Cheng Ding You, there is no discount in April, so since the letter was sent on April 16th, it was not sent until the middle of May. The IKEA family is still waiting, and the illness of the grandfather is increasing day by day. When people hear it, they are really worried!I don't know when the deer antler slices I paid on the June anniversary will arrive, and I don't know if there will be any small merit?

I suffered from ringworm for many years. Lai Zou Molin gave Astragalus Fu tablets prescription and he was cured. My wife's illness in June was also very serious. Thanks to Molin's diagnosis and treatment, the danger was turned into safety.There are many people from my hometown who seek medical treatment from Molin, and all of them are quick to respond. Molin's younger brother, Yue Ping, went to Beijing Yu Yuantong Temple this year. It is unknown if Yue Ping came to my house to treat my grandfather, or to save the day. Yue Ping is the most honest and shrewd person. If he can't get around, he will not be surprised. The family only needs to send the bearer a big money of 2,000 yuan, and there is no need to give anything else. If he doesn't come, there is no need to invite him at home.

The valley in the country is as expensive as 3,500, which has never existed in ancient times. How can ordinary people survive?Since I became an official, I have thought about setting up a righteous land for the Zeng family to support the poor below Meng Xuegong, and setting up a righteous land for the poor in the four capitals of Nian. Unexpectedly, the world is suffering day by day. Those who are officials in Beijing have no time for self-government. Even if they are sent out, they may be studying politics or serving as governors; however, the major floods in the three rivers and two lakes this year are almost half the world in Hong Kong. In addition, take half a text?It is the consumption of the righteous land, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay for it in the end, but I have made a plan, and the people of Gou Shihuan, apart from the delicacy in the hall, may have a little profit every year. I will definitely not buy a mu of land or save a penny. It is my plan to keep it for the righteous land. I hope you will understand it.

This year I spent a lot of money in Beijing, and I borrowed a lot of debts. In August, Xiliu and Chen Tiyuan donated Congjiupin, and I can pay back after the list in September. I can go home in October, and I can ask for money from the two in November. It will cost about 300 gold in total, and I will pay this to go home, and there will be no additional silver. The rate is five in Yongfeng, and some people are vying for it. I am very happy to hear it!I wrote a special letter to him, and hoped that his loyalty would be established. Ji Hong was able to walk, and his body was very strong. All the families in the same village were as usual. In the same year, Mao Jiyun recited the internal hardships in June. Chen Weitang, Xiangguo, died on the second day of July. The township examinations will be held in September. I heard that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are especially serious. I may have to extend it to October. The disasters in various provinces will make the emperor anxious and his ministers should be more concerned; Suspense, the book is not exhaustive, Guofan hand grass. (July 15, 29th year of Daoguang)

【Note】 ①Hong Ao Tianxia: The mournful cries describing the tragedy of the flooded people resounded throughout the sky. 【Translation】 Brothers Chenghou, Wenpu, Zizhi, and Jihong: On July 13th, I received a letter from Brother Cheng on the seventh day of June. I know everything. In June, I sent a total of four times. to yet?This year Lu Fei Zhongcheng Ding You, there is no difference in April, so after the letter was sent on April 16, it was not sent until the middle of May, which made the family suspenseful. Listening to this, I am deeply worried that the velvet antler tablets sent on June 20th, I don't know when they will arrive, and is there no effect at all?

My ringworm disease, which has been a long-standing illness for many years, was completely cured thanks to Zou Molin's Astragalus Fupian prescription. It's all at your fingertips. Mo Lin's younger brother, Yue Ping, went to the capital this year and lived in Yuantongguan. His medical skills are very good, and he has returned home. I wrote a letter this time and attached it to Mo Lin's home letter, Asking Yue Ping to come to my house to treat my grandfather, whether it can save the day or not, I don't know. Yue Ping is the most honest and shrewd person, and if he can't deal with it, he will not be surprised. The family only needs to send the bearer a large sum of two thousand. In addition, if he doesn't come, there is no need to look for it at home.

Millet in the countryside is as expensive as 3,500, which has not been available since ancient times. How can ordinary people live?Since I became an official, I have wanted to buy a free land for the Jian family to help the poor below Meng Xuegong, and to buy a free land for the local area to help the poor in the twenty-four capitals. It is too late to say that Beijing officials govern themselves; it is too late to be an official, or to study politics, or to be a governor, and like this year's major floods in the three rivers and two lakes, almost tragic mourning rang out for a long time. Forbearance in addition to salary, take half a penny?

Therefore, Yitian’s wish may not come true. However, my plan is that once the official salary comes in, there will be a slight surplus every year besides the clothes for the adults in the hall. I will never buy an acre of land and save a penny. I have made up my mind to make up my mind, I hope my brothers will understand. This year I spent a lot of money in the capital and borrowed a lot of money. In August, I will donate a ninth-rank official to Xiliu and Chen Tiyuan; I need about three hundred taels of silver to withdraw money from my family. I will pay these back home, and I will not send any other money. Some people in Yongfeng are vying to invite you. I am very happy to hear that, so I wrote a special letter to him, I also hope that he will be faithful and self-reliant.

Ji Hong was able to go now, his body was strong, and the families of his fellow villagers were as usual. In the same year, Mao Jiyun passed away on the 28th of June, and Chen Weitang, Xiangguo, died on the 2nd of July.Henan, Zhejiang, and Hubei have all postponed the sub-examinations until September. I heard that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are particularly severe. I am afraid that they will be postponed to October. There are no delusions, and there is no need to wait for it at home. The letter is not written in detail, and the elder brother Guofan handwritten it. (July 15, 29th year of Daoguang)
