Chapter 141 To all my brothers, Gu Zuo said about the military pay

【original】 About Chengwen Zhihong's fourth brother: A letter was sent to the family on the fourth day of March, and on the ninth day of the next day, a discount was given, saying that the matter of military pay was suitable for this day to deal with the troubles in the west of Guangdong. It is very true, but it is difficult to hold it at present, and the order will be unpacked and stored in the military aircraft office, and it will be processed after the west of Guangdong is settled. Sai Zhongtang is clean and fair, and has a well-known reputation.However, Hunan is close to the west of Guangdong, and soldiers sent across the border, fearing that the prefectures and counties will inevitably take advantage of this situation, and it will not be without some ravages.

Wei Yanong left the capital on March 10th, and asked Yu to borrow twenty liang of silver. He was both an in-law and Huang Sheng's nephew, so he had to borrow it from Qu.My uncle asked for goose-feather eyedrops and ointment plasters in a previous letter. I will return a hundred slips of eyedrops and a thousand sheets of plasters. I will bring them back to Wei Yanong and present them to my uncle for his convenience. Brother Cheng is in Baoding and wants to send a letter to Liu Wufeng. Yesterday Liu Youxin sent Ziyan, but Brother Cheng's letter has not arrived. I don't understand why?I have already sent a letter to Baoding to investigate. After Brother Cheng left, I missed him very much. Occasionally, I would go to his room when I came back from the outside.I miss my brother on the way, miss me too, the books are not one by one, I will continue to have them, brother Guofan hand grass. (March 12, the first year of Xianfeng)

【Note】 ①Xunzuofugong: It means that success can be achieved quickly. 【Translation】 Around Cheng, Wen, Zhi, and Hong four brothers: I sent a letter home on the fourth day of March, and on the ninth day of the next day, I wrote a memorial about military pay. It just so happened that the emperor was in trouble because of the troublesome affairs in western Guangdong. When Zhongtang went there, he thought that my memorial was correct, but it was difficult to implement it at the moment, so he ordered the memorial to be sealed up in the military aircraft office, and then deal with it after the affairs in western Guangdong were settled. Sai Zhongtang was honest and fair, and his reputation was always famous. This trip will definitely be a quick success, but Hunan is very close to western Guangdong, and soldiers are sent across the border. I am afraid that the state and county officials will use this as an excuse to cause trouble, and it will inevitably be ravaged.

Wei Yanong left the capital on March 13th and borrowed twenty taels of silver from me. Since he was an in-law and Huang Sheng's nephew, he had to lend it to him. Already?In the last letter from my uncle, I asked for goose-feather eyedrops and ointment plaster. Now I send back one hundred slips for the medicine and one thousand sheets for the plaster. I will bring them back to Wei Yanong and send them to my uncle for safekeeping. I can fold the bottom and send them back for inspection. . Brother Cheng is in Baoding, so he must have sent a letter to Liu Wufeng. Yesterday Liu Youxin sent Ziyan, but Brother Cheng's letter did not arrive. I don't know why?I have already written a letter and went to Baoding to check. After Brother Cheng left, I missed him very much.Occasionally, when I came back from outside, I would go to his house, go to his house in the morning, and send someone to call him at night. I thought my brother was on the way, and I missed him often. I won’t write them one by one, I will write later, brother Guofan hand grass. (March 12, the first year of Xianfeng)
