Grand View Garden, Qichiyuan
After Xichun and Zhen Xi finished drawing the silver dollar pattern, Jia Heng greeted them to dinner.
The three of them sat around a circular dining table, with candles lit by candlesticks on the high table, and the orange candle flames fell on them like water.
Zhen Lan sat on the left side of Jia Heng, serving tea and serving dishes. At this moment, she had a sense of familiarity with the hostess of later generations.
Jia Heng sat next to Xichun, picked up a chopstick of fish and put it in little Lolita's bowl. He turned to look at Xichun and said, "Xichun is still growing, please eat more. Sister Xichun has really grown into a big girl."
"
Xichun has also grown a lot taller, and is said to be twelve or thirteen years old now.
Xichun's pink face with baby fat showed a look of joy, and she asked softly: "Brother Heng, what are you busy with in the house recently?"
Jia Heng said: "Since I returned to Beijing, I have been busy with weddings and court matters. Is it okay for my sister to live in Champs Elysees now?"
If Xichun's character had been used in the past, she might have been a little resentful of not being able to accompany him, but now the little girl is much calmer and seems to be considerate.
Xichun said softly: "I'm fine."
Brother Heng has been busy, and he has not been to her Lotus Champs since he came back.
Jia Heng said: "Sister Xichun, in a few days, let's take a boat south and go for a walk in the south of the Yangtze River together."
Xichun responded softly and didn't speak any more. He just ate the food. After a while, he waited for everyone to finish eating and said, "Brother Heng, I'm going back first."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said warmly: "Then I'll give it to sister Xichun."
In fact, he somewhat understood the little girl's thoughts and wanted to talk to him alone for a while.
Everyone has to get along alone, which naturally takes up a lot of time and dilutes his grand plan for running the country.
Xichunfang felt happy and responded softly.
At this time, the rain stopped a little, and the summer evening breeze carried the cool rain and slapped it on the face, with an indescribable coolness. The candles in the warm pavilion buildings in the Grand View Garden were lit, and under the clouds,
There is quite a warmth in the Grand View Garden.
Jia Heng stared at Xichun and said warmly: "My sister lives alone in Ou Champs. She is usually lonely."
"Usually, Sister Xiuyan and Sister Yingchun will come over." Xichun said softly.
Jia Heng nodded and asked, "My sister usually stays at the Champs Elysees?"
Xichun said: "Well, I don't have anywhere else to go."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt his hand softening, and felt the kind hand grasping it. He said softly: "Sister Xichun, your sister Yun and sister Qin are usually more lively. My sister should go and play with them more."
Xichun responded softly, her cheeks a little shy.
Jia Heng said: "When it rains, the road is a little slippery. Sister, please be careful where you step."
The two people talked and arrived at the Lotus Champs Elysees.
Since it is a waterside pavilion, it is built in a lotus pond, with windows on all sides and winding corridors on the left and right. It is also connected across the water to the shore, and there is a zigzag bamboo bridge behind it.
Such a cool place can only be lived in during the summer.
Jia Heng said softly: "My sister is used to living here. Does it feel damp or not?"
Xichun said: "It's okay."
Jia Heng said, looking at the maid who was accompanying him, entering the painting, and asked with a smile: "Coming to the painting, is it okay for Sister Xichun to be here? Is the food and daily life okay?"
"Just wait until it gets colder and then move back to Nuanxiangwu." Jia Heng warned.
Nodding your head when entering the painting should be.
As Jia Heng and Xichun spoke, they entered the warm pavilion of the Lotus Pavilion and sat down.
Under the illumination of the lanterns on the corridor, Xichun raised her beautiful face and asked curiously: "Brother Heng, how long will it take to cast the silver dollar?"
Jia Heng said: "The grinding tools are made very quickly. It only lasts for a few days. When the new silver coins come out, I will let my sister see them first."
Xichun said "hmm", raised her face as white as snow, looked at the young man, Bai Chi pursed her pink lips, and said: "I heard in the garden that Brother Heng and Sister Bao... have decided to get married.
?”
Jia Heng smiled and said: "This has been going on for two years, and it was just settled not long ago. It's also because your sister Bao is getting older and it's time to settle for life, so my aunt said this in front of the old lady last time.
You didn’t know this before?”
Xichun shook her head and said softly: "I knew about Sister Bao from my aunt."
Jia Heng said: "I was worried about affecting your sister Bao before, so I didn't tell anyone."
"What about Sister Lin?" Xichun suddenly asked.
A look of reminiscence appeared on Jia Heng's face, and he said: "When Sister Lin was in Jiangnan, we were close to each other. It must have been last year."
Xichun clenched her handkerchief tightly, and under her willow eyebrows, her bright eyes filled with autumn waves, she said, "What about Sister Miaoyu?"
Jia Heng: "..."
After calming down, he came closer, looked at the girl with childlike features, and said, "Why did Sister Xichun ask so politely about this?"
Xichun lowered her head slightly. For some reason, a faint blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks. It was hard to see clearly under the light. She pursed her pink lips and said softly: "It's nothing."
Now she vaguely heard from her servants that the young girls in the garden were all his favorites, and in the future she would not only marry him, but also have a relationship with him.
Maybe she too?
In fact, this kind of noise was made by some gossips after Mrs. Xing spread the news about the agreement between Xing Xiuyan and Jia Heng.
Because Chai Dai, Lan Xi, and Xing Xiuyan almost all fell into the hands of Jia Heng, some people with dark minds would inevitably arrange the three springs of welcoming the spring, exploring the spring, and cherishing the spring, and also related to Jia Heng...
Just like Xichun said to Youshi in the original work: "Don't lead me astray, I will be left alone and innocent."
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was shy for some reason and said, "Sister Xichun is getting older too."
He realized something in his heart. Xichun was always a very sensitive person. Maybe he had heard some rumors?
Like the Ningguo Mansion in the original work? Only a pair of stone lions at the door are clean?
Hearing this, Xichun's clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows condensed, and she looked at the young man intently. There was confusion in her moist eyes, and she said, "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "If sister Xichun feels that living in the garden will harm your reputation as a boudoir girl, you can go back to live in Ningguo Mansion or Rongguo Mansion."
When Xichun heard this, her delicate body trembled. She stared at the young man and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Heng...are you going to drive me away?"
Jia Heng said: "My sister wants to keep herself clean. If you feel uncomfortable staying in the Grand View Garden, you can go back to the old lady in Xifu."
Hearing this, Xichun felt a soreness in her nose and choked with sobs, "When did I say I felt uncomfortable?"
Did she just say that? She just asked him and his sisters...
As the girl thought about it, she felt a sense of grievance and despair rushing through her body and mind, and tears burst into her eyes.
Jia Heng said in surprise: "Sister Xichun, why are you still crying?"
Xichun turned her face away, her eyelashes curved and trembled, and tears rolled down her face, flowing along her pink face to her smooth and delicate chin.
She was originally a little girl, but now her eyes were full of tears, so beautiful and moving, she looked like a delicate rose flower.
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.
Is this Xichun or Daiyu?
But this was the first time I saw Xichun shed tears. The arrogant little loli was crying silently at this moment. The only sound was the constant twitching of her nose, as if she was deeply saddened by what he just said.
Jia Heng came closer, took the girl's delicate hand, and said, "Sister, okay, don't cry."
Xichun struggled symbolically, but did not break free and stopped moving. She just turned away her face, sobbing silently.
Jia Heng gently held the girl's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Okay, sister Xichun, don't cry. I made a mistake just now and I didn't mean to drive you away."
Speaking of which, this was the first time he said this to Xichun.
Jia Heng said: "I know that my sister cherishes her reputation. I think she listened to some gossip in the courtyard and thought about leaving Dongfu. I also thought that my sister is not too young anymore and will be here in Xuren in two years.
At your age, if you feel uncomfortable in the house, there is nothing wrong with going to the old lady's courtyard."
"I don't allow people, I don't allow people." The girl suddenly choked and said urgently.
Jia Heng: "..."
Jia Heng said: "But after all, I have to marry someone."
Xichun raised her face full of tears and whispered: "I have planned to go to Shuiyue An to become a sister-in-law."
Jia Heng: "..."
Jia Heng was startled for a moment and said, "Why is such a good person becoming a monk again?"
All the warm feelings he had in the past failed to warm up this cold heart?
"Anyway, no one wants me anymore. If they want to drive me away, I might as well become a monk and become a sister-in-law, and that will be the end of it."
No one has taken care of her since she was born. She originally thought she had him... and now no one takes care of her.
Seeing the girl who seemed to be making angry remarks, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, stretched out his arms and put his arms around the petite slender shoulders, feeling a little dumbfounded in his heart, and whispered: "Who said I don't want you anymore? You will live in the garden for the rest of your life."
, and no one will chase you away."
Could it be that Xichun has gradually reached adolescence and started to become rebellious? Or is it because she has lacked love since she was a child and has some thoughts that she shouldn't have?
Xichun was held in the arms of the young man. Her delicate body trembled. She was stiff for a moment and then softened. She forgot to shed tears for a moment. For some reason, her heart was beating loudly, and two flowers slowly appeared on her face as beautiful as snow.
Blushing, because my face is not big and bright.
Jia Heng said: "If you don't want to marry someone, don't marry me. Sister Xichun won't be in a hurry in a few years. When she wants to marry someone, I will arrange a good marriage for my sister."
Xichun said in a trembling voice: "Second sister, third sister, they don't have them, and I don't allow them."
"Then let's see what the fourth sister thinks in the future." Jia Heng comforted softly, and then he held the girl's shoulders, held the girl's face, gently wiped away the tears, and said warmly: "Why are you still crying with tears in your eyes?
"
Xichun was so embarrassed by the young man's gaze that she subconsciously lowered her eyelashes and pursed her pink lips.
Jia Heng just took the handkerchief, gently wiped her tears, looked at the petite girl with rosy cheeks, and said: "Okay, don't cry anymore. We will live in the garden from now on, and we will go to Jiangnan to play around.
No one in the house knows that among all the sisters, I love the fourth sister the most."
"Yeah." Xichun lowered his eyes and responded softly.
On the other side, Ru Hua and Caiping had already hid behind the screen, looking at the caring young man holding his girl in his arms, feeling a little embarrassed and happy at the same time.
Jia Heng hugged Xichun and said, "Sister Xichun, you don't have to think too much in the future."
Xichun snuggled her head into the boy's arms, and felt an indescribable peace welling up in her heart. Her cheeks were a little red for some reason, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, there have been some gossips in the house recently, which are arranged in the house.
A girl’s.”
Jia Heng said: "Well, I guess that's what it's all about. When I ask your sister-in-law Feng to sort it out later, don't be so sensitive."
Xichun said softly "Hmm" and tightly held the hand held by the young man.
Jia Heng felt relieved for a while and said, "It's getting late, sister Xichun, I have to go back."
"Yes."
After coaxing Xichun to rest, Jia Heng did not stay long and returned to Qichi Courtyard in Grand View Garden.
Nothing more to say all night.
…
…
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, after Jia Heng’s dozens of days of uninterrupted rest, it’s finally time to set off.
On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful, and there were no clouds in the vast sky. After the rain, the willows on the river bank were lush and green, and the jadeite was filled with smoke.
The midsummer morning breeze blew the black and red satin flags held up by the Jinyi Palace Guards and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on both sides of the river bank, making a sound in the wind.
Jia Heng put everything in order, and Dong Qian and Jinyi Mansion prepared the relevant boats and anchored them at the ferry in the capital.
At this moment, at the Capital Ferry, the building boats were moored on the river under the escort of Jinyifu guards. Looking around, there were as many as twenty boats, large and small, and some red cannons were also mounted on the boats.
Because Jia Heng's trip was to prepare for the establishment of a naval division, fight against sea pirates, and use suppression as training, the Hongyi artillery was naturally taken away.
Because there have been heavy rains in Guanzhong and the northern areas in recent days, there is abundant water in the rivers, and there is no congestion or stagnation when sailing on them.
At this moment, on a three-story building with a length of more than ten feet, girls such as Chai Dai, San Chun, Miao Xiu, Wen Qi, and Yun Qin were on a flag ship with a flag hanging. In addition, there were Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue.
Chen Xiao, and...Song Yan.
Under the instigation of Princess Xianning, Song Yan prepared to go to Jiangnan to join Song's father in Hangzhou.
This is the first time Song Yan has returned to her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. At this moment, holding on to a corner of the bamboo curtain and looking at the farewell procession on the ferry, her heart was filled with ups and downs.
King Chen Ran of Wei and King Chen Wei of Liang, also accompanied by their attendants, came to the ship to say goodbye to Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue.
"Fifth sister, I begged my mother and asked her to go to the south of the Yangtze River, but she refused." Liang Wang Chen Wei was dressed in a black and red python suit, with some reluctance on his face.
Princess Xianning frowned and said in a clear voice: "What are you going to Jiangnan for? Besides playing."
Liang Wang Chen Wei said sourly: "Since the fifth sister married Wei Guogong, she has decided to support her husband and raise her children?"
"Did you hear that Duke Wei Guo will be called brother-in-law from now on?" Princess Xianning said in a clear voice.
King Wei Chen Ran said: "Okay, Fifth Sister, when you and Ziyu go south this time, do you want to go to Henan first?"
Princess Xianning said: "Henan will implement new policies recently. My husband and I will go over and take a look."
King Wei Chen Ran nodded and said: "Your sister-in-law also wants to go to Jiangnan. I also said that I would go south with you."
"Sister-in-law?" Xian Ning said in surprise.
King Wei nodded without explaining the reason.
On the deck on the other side, Jia Heng looked at Lin Ruhai who was seeing him off all the way, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, stay here, we will meet up again when we get to Jiangnan."
After Lin Ruhai prepared the grain and fodder for the northwest army's expedition in the capital, he would also take a boat south to supervise the collection of summer grain in the Jiangnan area, and secondly, to deal with the abolition of the Liang Dynasty and the reform of the Yuan Dynasty.
Regarding the abolition of the two to the yuan, it is actually easier. Now the Silver Minting Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue has started to cast the first batch of silver dollar molds based on the regulations and patterns he delivered the day before yesterday.
If Jia Heng's suggestion is followed, the front side will have the dragon pattern and the currency system, and the back side will have the pattern of the fifteenth year of Chongping and the city of Shenjing. This is mostly used as an anti-counterfeiting pattern.
As for the big portrait of the emperor, I really don’t care about it at this time, because it can’t be circumvented by the crime of disrespect.
This was not a period when republican ideas took hold.
Lin Ruhai's eyes contained a look of reluctance, and he said, "Have a good trip, Ziyu."
Daiyu is now wearing a light yellow dark flower vest, a white round-necked jacket, and a moon-white dark flower skirt. This outfit makes the girl lose a little of her immature girlishness. She holds a pink handkerchief in her hand and stands tall.
Above the window of the building's boat building, the same reluctance can be seen in the shining starry eyes.
Zijuan and Xiren looked behind them and said, "Girl, the master is over there saying hello and saying goodbye."
Lin Ruhai waved his hand towards the cabin where Daiyu was.
The other kings of Wei and Liang also got off the boats and watched the boats from the shore.
Following Jia Heng's order to "set sail," the ship raised its sails, rode the wind and waves, parted the river on both sides of the ship, and headed toward the east.
The people standing and gazing on the shore gradually became smaller and farther away.
On the building boat, looking at the crowd of women wearing hairpin skirts and jackets around them, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't been back to Jiangnan for several years."
Now that she came out of the garden and looked at the crowds of people, her mood seemed to be much brighter.
So what did Uncle Heng say? She shouldn't be a bird in a cage.
Ping'er smiled and said: "Grandma, I came out this time just to relax."
Sister Feng had a charming smile on her pretty face, and a lightness suddenly arose in her heart, and she said, "Yes, since I got married, I have been busy with a lot of annoying things in the house. Now I can go out and relax."
On the other side, Li Wan and Mr. Cao were sitting in the cabin's wing, looking at the mountains on both sides of the mountains receding away, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort in their hearts.
This daughter of a famous official from a scholarly family couldn't help but think of a poem in her mind, about how she could return to nature after being in a cage for a long time.
Mrs. Cao smiled and said: "Now we are far away from Shenjing, and no one will control us anymore."
Li Wan responded softly, and couldn't help but cast his gentle and resentful eyes on the young man in python suit on the deck. She had not seen him since he was interrupted by Feng Yatou the day before yesterday.
I don’t know the next time Zuojian... Well, I have something to do with her, but I don’t know when it will be.
At this moment, Jia Heng seemed to realize something, and turned to look at the cabin. When he met the elegant and resentful gaze, he felt a little strange in his heart.
After the resurgence, it has become a raging fire.
It can be said that compared to Sister Feng's addiction, which can be diluted with other things, this young woman with a beautiful face who has been widowed for six or seven years is more clingy.
Just as Jia Heng was thinking about it, the tall ship stirred up white waves on the river and sailed towards the south of the Yangtze River with a clattering sound.
Above the blue sky, a line of birds with white feathers and sharp beaks chirped and flew into the distance, like an ink painting with a sparse brushwork. In the midsummer of the 16th year of Chongping, the sun was shining brightly and the scenery was just right.
The overlapping mountains, winding like snakes, quickly pass by both sides of the river bank. The lush willow trees on the bank rustle in the summer breeze.
It seems to be vaguely telling: On May 20th of the 16th year of Chongping, the Duke of Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Crown Prince's Taibao, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Deputy Envoy of the Jingying Festival, and the Imperial Governor Jia Heng took a boat to Henan, Jiangsu.
Supervise the New Deal.
From then on, the vigorous Jiangnan New Deal of the Chen and Han Dynasty began.
…
…
Shenjing City, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, among the official offices
The Prince of Nan'an County sat on a table with various tokens, and below were Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and other founding heroes sitting on nanmu chairs.
"Your Majesty, that person has already gone to the south." Chen Ruiwen strode into the meeting hall and said to the Prince of Nan'an County.
The Prince of Nan'an County said coldly: "Just leave and ignore me. How have you prepared the food recently?"
At this time, Ma Shang, the grandson of Ma Kuai, the ruler of the country, came out of his duties and announced: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qi has coordinated the major warehouses in the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare for military supplies."
Prince Nan'an's eyes narrowed, he walked past a few people, and asked: "Has the Hongyi cannon been transported from the Ordnance Supervision recently?"
Liu Fang pondered and said: "Brother Hou Xian has been transferred to the capital camp. The weapons supervisor said the day before yesterday that it was inconvenient to transport the Hongyi artillery. The military situation here is so bad that I can't use it. He also said that a lot of artillery was used last time.
Gun, the Hongyi cannon is seriously damaged and difficult to transport."
Speaking of this, Liu Fang pondered and said: "Brother Hou Xian has already taken people to the Ordnance Supervision as the military plane cannot be delayed, and is preparing to bring back the artillery and muskets."
At this moment, Hou Xiaokang came in from the outside, met everyone's gaze, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei has already taken away many cannons, and we are a step late."
"What?" Nan'an County Prince Huo Ran stood up and said, "How dare he do this?"
Anger surged on Liu Fang's face, and she said: "There is a serious danger in the northwest. With this cannon, we can defeat the bandits earlier. What is the idea of Duke Wei?"
Hou Xiaokang said: "Those Hongyi cannons were originally prepared for the navy. This time we dispatched the south, saying that they would be used in a decisive victory at sea."
"I think Duke Wei just doesn't want me to be used and can easily quell the trouble on the northwest frontier." Shi Guangzhu said with a sneer.
It can be said that in the battle of Ping'an Prefecture, Huang Taiji was crowned, and the reputation of the Hongyi Cannon spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
The prince of Nan'an County looked gloomy and said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that without the red barbarian cannons, with the brave soldiers of our Beijing camp, we can't pacify the Heshuote Mongolia. Wait until the leader of the captive chiefs returns, and then we can argue in front of the emperor!"
"
Hou Xiaokang said: "Your Majesty, the battle report from Xining has just been delivered. We should send troops as soon as possible."
The king of Nan'an County said: "We will send out troops in three days!"
…
…
Let’s not mention that the Prince of Nan’an County and others led the troops to Xining, but said that at the Liangjiang Governor’s Yamen, which is far away in Jinling at the moment, in the official office——
Since May, the south of the Yangtze River has entered the flood season, and the sky is also covered with clouds and misty rain. The pavilions and pavilions of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties are blurred in the wind and rain, and their outlines cannot be seen clearly.
In the yamen hall, Gao Zhongping was sitting on a rosewood chair, his face as handsome as the clouds outside the window, as if thunder was brewing.
Below are the county magistrates, prefectural magistrates and other officials from Jiangsu Province.
Jiangsu Governor Zhang Yongchuan sat on one side, his face hidden in a shadow because of the light coming from the right window. Next to him was Jiangnan Chief Envoy Zhang Hanwen.
This former governor was still nominally in charge of Jiangnan Province, but now he only governs Jiangsu Province, and his power has been greatly reduced.
"Where is the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture?" Gao Zhongping said softly.
Shao Jisong, the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture, was an old man in his fifties, with a white beard under his chin and dense wrinkles on his face. When he left work, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Taitai, I am here."
Gao Zhongping asked like a barrage of questions: "Have the relevant criminals in Wujin County been detained in jail? Has the person behind the scenes been interrogated? Has anyone ever said hello to Changzhou?"
Shao Jisong said softly: "The relevant criminals were put in prison, but they all said they were out of righteous indignation and there was no real mastermind behind the scenes."
Gao Zhongping sneered and said: "Indignation? Many of those villagers are landless tenant farmers. I own my land, so what does this have to do with them?"
Shao Jisong couldn't answer for a while.
This is how he responded.
Gao Zhongping asked: "Have Sun Guerrilla and Jiangnan Camp troops been willing to mobilize?"
At this time, a military attaché came up from the bottom, it was Sun Youzhen, the guerrilla general of the Governor-General's Biao Camp.
Sun Youzhen said softly: "Master Taiwan, Jiangnan Camp said that without the official document from the Imperial Military Aircraft Department and the reconnaissance from the Nanjing Military Department, Jiangnan Camp will not send a single soldier."
In fact, this is still a historical issue left by Jia Heng. It was also confirmed by Emperor Chongping at the beginning. It was mainly to correct the ineffective coastal defense situation along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
During this period, Gao Zhongping had already planned to mobilize soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan camp to assist the prefectures and counties in promoting the New Deal. However, there was resistance and he took control on the spot.
Gao Zhongping said: "Master Kuang, where is Duke Wei?"
Kuang Shouzheng said: "Back to Master Tai, the flying pigeon message sent by Duke Wei not long ago has already led people to Henan and has now arrived in Kaifeng."
After the boat had sailed for a day, Jia Heng led the retinue of Jinyi Mansion, accompanied by Princess Xianning and Chen Xiao, and rushed all the way to Henan.
Gao Zhongping asked: "Has the imperial court's written reply been delivered?"
The previous Zhubu given by Emperor Chongping to Gao Zhongping was to grant the military power of the Jiangnan camp to Gao Zhongping, the governor of Liangjiang as before.
Kuang Shouzheng said: "Master Taitai, I haven't been here a few days ago. I don't know the situation in the post house today. I will send someone to ask."
With that said, he left the hall.
"As soon as Sun Guerji has an order, he will take people to the Jiangnan camp to mobilize troops and horses." Gao Zhongping said.
"Yes." Sun Youzhen responded with clasped fists.
Gao Zhongping glanced at the civil servants below and said: "It is a national policy to use a whip method to spread the family into an area. Anyone who dares to shake the national policy will be the sinner of the Han Dynasty."
The officials below wearing various official robes were shocked when they heard this.
Gao Zhongping said: "Every place should still advance in an orderly manner. Now the Duke of Wei, who is famous for his ability in conquering and fighting, has come to punish these lawless people who resist the implementation of national policies for their own selfish purposes. I hope you and others will
After returning home, give advice to those in the country who are bucking the trend, otherwise, the general trend will suppress them and they will all turn into powder."
Most of the officials in Jiangsu Province had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Zhang Futai." Gao Zhongping suddenly named Zhang Yongchuan, the governor of Jiangsu.
Zhang Yongchuan stood up quickly, raised his hands and said, "Master Taiwan."
Gao Zhongping said softly: "The Suzhou government wants to take the lead. As the governor, you have to take the first step and implement the four new policies well."
Zhang Yongchuan said with a bitter face: "Mr. Gao, lower-level officials also have difficulties. Some of the grain fields in Suzhou Prefecture belong to the founding fathers of Nanjing. Who among the lower-level governors and governors in the yamen would dare to clear the land? If there is a bloody conflict, the consequences will be disastrous.
."
The nobles and even relatives of the emperor who founded the country all had properties in Nanjing and Suzhou. Unlike the land of Bashu, which did not have such intricate relationships, there were many nobles and relatives of the emperor in the rich land of Jiangnan.
For example, the Song family in Hangzhou.
In fact, any reform in the history of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties will often encounter unspeakable resistance once it touches the innermost circle of the ruling class, and the reform will end without any problem. This is no exception in ancient and modern times at home and abroad.
Self-revolution is easier said than done? It is like pulling yourself up by your own hair.
It is even a false proposition, or a mistake in wording, because what is done from the top down is never called a revolution, but... reform, and what is done from the bottom up is called a revolution.
These are all textbook definitions.
Once you fall into reform, you will always face the constraints of incompleteness and compromise, but the advantage is that it will cause the least social unrest and the least damage to the existing order.
Only by distinguishing the semantics can we get to the bottom of things and gain a clear understanding.
Zhang Yongchuan sat down with deep thoughts.
Gao Zhongping said: "Everyone, Henan and Jiangsu are piloting projects in the north and south. Now it is said that Henan has implemented it in an orderly manner. On the other hand, in our Jiangnan area, there are many branches. At that time, the court started to investigate, and we all lost face. We all went our own way.
Go ahead."
After all the local officials left the governor's office with their hearts full of worries, Gao Zhongping rubbed his temples and asked: "After all, Jiangnan is different from Bashu."
Wu Xiancheng, the general judge, said: "When Lord Zhitai was in Bashu, he was in charge of military affairs and had very few constraints. There were many scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River. They supported each other through marriage, and even the emperor's relatives secretly helped.
If the imperial court wants to clear the land, it will undoubtedly affect their jobs."
Gao Zhongping pondered for a moment and asked: "How have the four new policies in Henan been implemented recently?"
"Henan is not as good as Jiangnan, Master Zhitai. Henan has gone through a great turmoil. The gentry in Kaifeng and other provincial capitals were almost eliminated by the imperial court. The Wei and Zheng dynasties of the original clan were stripped of their titles and lands by the imperial court. This has reduced a lot of resistance." Tong Yan Wu Xiancheng.
Said: "The Duke of Wei has also eliminated corrupt officials in Henan. It can be said that what he did is exactly the same as when he made Taiwan in Bashu."
At this time, Gao Bo cupped his hands and said: "Father, Duke Wei of the State deliberately used Henan as a comparison to highlight his father's inability to do anything in Jiangsu, so as to claim credit from the imperial court."
Gao Zhongping pondered for a moment and said: "You are such a fool, if you think that all the famous ministers and generals are as narrow-minded as you, how can there be heroes in our glorious history of China?"
Gao Bo's face paused and he said: "This Duke of Wei must have this idea."
Gao Zhongping said: "The situation in Henan and Jiangnan is different. People in the world will not know it, and the saints in the court will not know it. The so-called theory of fighting for merit. Nowadays, there is an endless stream of criticism from scholars. Duke Wei is like
If you can implement the four new policies of the Han Dynasty, you will inevitably be criticized and slandered, which will shine through the annals of history."
When Gao Bo heard this, his face slightly condensed, his lips moved, and he was speechless for a moment.
