Liu San didn't say any more. Since he didn't feel it, it was better not to say any more. pbtt. That night was just a way to wash away the dust. The next day, Liu San started to prepare for Guangzhou's medical and health care.
As the elders preparing to take over the power continue to arrive, the atmosphere in the "inner world" of the big world gradually becomes solemn. The troops who have arrived in the big world stay quietly in temporary barracks and do indoor gymnastics every day to pass the time. The officers are on the map
The plan of marching and accepting was deduced over and over again on the sand table; the intelligence system commanded by Lin Baiguang has now been officially renamed the Guangdong Region Urban Engineering Department. People of all kinds, from all walks of life, sneakily appear on the side of the big world day and night.
There are several small doors; the arrival of the special investigation team of the General Investigation Bureau adds to the sense of tension. They go out day and night and use special passages to enter and exit, making it the most mysterious place here.
Since the end of last year, many hawkers and beggars have appeared around the large shops, gentry and government offices in Guangzhou City; some disturbing news has spread everywhere in teahouses and taverns. In the first month of the first month, the rogue army captured Zhongjing and burned down the imperial mausoleum.
The news came earlier than the official news, and was full of all kinds of frightening but thrilling details. Then, various pamphlets began to circulate, describing the bad things that happened to Ming Dynasty in various places in recent years.
, 1510, all written down in detail. The most frightening thing is the various memorials, court discussions, and even disputes between officials that are rarely seen by ordinary people.
The contents of the private messages were published in a booklet called "Wen Chun" and began to circulate.
This pamphlet is no different from other pamphlets that have been circulated in Guangzhou for a long time. They are all printed on low-quality coarse paper. However, it is circulated regularly, and a new one will be published every seven days. The content inside
It is very exciting. It not only contains these original materials, but also many "secrets of the dynasty", which are filled with scandalous stories about the evil deeds of various court officials and powerful gentry from all over the country. One prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou have arrested many people, and they have not been able to arrest them.
There are few unlucky people who copy and distribute, but the real printing and editing people have never been caught. Not even the person who actually circulated the pamphlets has been caught. The local big guys know very well that these pamphlets are most likely to be
It’s an Australian handiwork—at least it’s the backstage.
For literate people, "Wen Chun" and other pamphlets not only satisfied their curiosity, but also gave them endless conversation topics. As a result, the news spread at a hundredfold speed. pbtt.
Although the citizens of Guangzhou have always had a free and easy temperament when drinking tea, they can't help but be a little worried when faced with the dangers of troubled times. Rich and wealthy people can't help but show a look of panic all day long: "The Ming Dynasty is about to end.
!”
This atmosphere of panic has quietly spread among all classes. The false sense of security originally created by the geographical distance and delayed news transmission has been shattered by these "news".
The big and small bureaucrats in the city were particularly frightened. They knew exactly where the rumors came from and what their purpose was. The thieves who had been dormant after invading Guangzhou were obviously affected by the current situation and were ready to make moves. They had very specific goals.
Maybe it’s Guangzhou!
Such speculation is by no means groundless. The officials in Guangzhou are not deaf. What happened on Hainan Island is not a secret to them. In the past few years, officials on Hainan Island have been transferred to and from office, and they always come to Guangzhou to rest.
I met my boss in the same year and chatted about what I had learned during my tenure - who doesn't know that Hainan Island is already "almost an enemy country". Everyone who left office said that he has a "disloyal heart" and will "change drastically" sooner or later.
But after all, who can go to Tingli Cave? After Xiong Wencan, the governor of Zhao'an, took office, everyone originally wanted to see if he had the skills to turn the Kun thief into the second Zheng Zhilong. However, as Zheng Zhilong's lair was destroyed by Kun
After the thieves were defeated and he himself died in battle, the Guangdong officialdom had given up hope. Xiong Wencan stopped mentioning the matter and stepped up preparations for war against the enemy.
However, for those officials who had more contact with the Kun thieves and knew them well, Governor Xiong's preparations were probably useless. Governor Xiong probably knew it himself - the Governor-General's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi moved to Guangzhou from Zhaoqing a few years ago
. He also asked the imperial court to move back to Zhaoqing on some pretext.
Guangzhou's officialdom was paying attention to the big world outside Dadongmen amid suspicion, pessimism and nervousness - there was a bustle of investment promotion work there, and there was no sign of war. However, officials who were a little more shrewd and capable would have been there early.
I can smell it from the recent actions of the Kun thieves. The Kun thieves are purchasing and hoarding grain through their local minions. There are also many more ships plying the Pearl River than in the past, which all seem to contain disturbing intentions.
For Zhang Yu, the news did not affect his mood. Since his family received an order for walnut cakes from the Great World Tea and Food Shop and became a licensed supplier, the original anxious and gloomy atmosphere in his family has been swept away. From the Great World
The order was actually not too large, at most, it was enough for one or two tea houses. But he got the "Designated Supplier of the Great World" sign from Zhang Yikun. As soon as it spread, it caused a sensation in the tea and food industry in Guangzhou. Retail sales
Suddenly, it more than doubled seven or eight times. Many wealthy families even asked their servants to come across Guangzhou to buy walnut cakes in the store. Some teahouses who did not originally order from them also ordered from him. For a time, this little-known restaurant suddenly
The store has become a famous store in Guangzhou
Zhang Yu’s parents are smiling every day, and their business is booming. Not to mention the government servants who used to come to play in the autumn breeze, all the “businessmen” have disappeared. Naturally, the store no longer uses aged walnuts. Not only do they add more
Dude, even an apprentice was added. His father asked a craftsman to enlarge the sign and carve it into a large plaque, which was hung in the middle of the shop. It was dark and shiny, and it really didn't match this small shop.
Zhang Yu's status in social studies suddenly became much higher. Originally, the children of some big shop owners, or someone in the family who was a scholar, rarely interacted with the children of small businessmen like him; they were arrogant and could not even meet each other.
There was no greeting, it was mean, and he even sneered a few words: "What are you doing here to study as a clerk?"
Recently, everyone seems to have changed. Even when they see him, they have to say a few polite words. Some even bring money to ask him to buy walnut cakes. The originally snobbish gentleman no longer treats him casually.
, the slap in the face when you can't recite the textbook can be spared.
Several of his friends in sociology were happy for him, but they were also a little jealous, especially Zeng Juan, whose family also ran a small shop. Their family background was about the same as Zhang Yu's. Zhang Yu's family was in trouble, but his family was not.
He was still the same as before, and he felt a little unsatisfied. As for Li Ziyu, he was also a little unwilling to lose his limelight, so he used some "artifacts" in the "Wu Bei Zhi" to prove that the Ming Dynasty was just because "treacherous ministers were in power", otherwise the thieves
Regardless of the big world or any high-level fortress, they are all rubbish in front of the mysterious cannon that can "corrode for dozens of miles with one shot". As for the so-called "iron-armored fire steamer" of the thief, is it a divine fire iron-armored fortress ship?
Built, built, the thief's iron-clad steamship is just made of paper - no one is accustomed to believe this, because the design of his so-called "holy fire iron-clad steamship" is actually a large wooden raft with an enemy tower standing on it.
Cannons, sails and eight large oars were set up all around. Both Zhang Yu and Zeng Juan were deeply doubtful whether this thing could move.
Chen Shixin no longer came to school. That day, his husband asked for leave and couldn't come, so a few friends went to his house together. When they knocked on the door of Chen's house, it was his father who answered the door.
After asking around, I found out that this classmate had already gone to Lingao - it was said that he was recruited by the Australians to be an apprentice.
"An Australian fell in love with his paintings and said he was good at them, so he took him to Lingao to learn painting." His father gestured, "His mother and I figured out that he was not a student, and he loved painting.
Painting, go and learn Western painting skills and have something to eat when you come back."
"How can you rest assured?" Li Ziyu said in surprise, "That is the territory of the thieves!"
"Whether it's a thief or an Australian, he hangs around outside Guangzhou all day long, and he's not a man-eating monster. There's nothing to worry about. I heard that the market in Lingao is not small, and the business may be better.
Yes, I want to see it in a few days."
Several friends who came out of Chen Shixin's house were a little disappointed. Li Ziyu muttered: "He likes Australian stuff the most, and it suits him. It's just that he fell in love with Kun..." Zeng Juan didn't know why.
Yes, I feel empty in my heart: Zhang Yu's family has become prosperous; Li Ziyu's family is considered a small family, with a house and land, and studying is just a blind eye; but Chen Shixin still has a sense of superiority, and now Chen Shixin has gone to join the Australians - no need
He said that he must be prosperous in the future. As for me, I was not good at literature or martial arts, and my family had a lot of business. I just felt that my future was uncertain. I didn't even bother to respond to Zhang Yu's suggestion to watch a new Australian movie. He said
He muttered: "So what if you surrender to Kun, it's better than suffocating yourself to death here..."
Li Ziyu was a little puzzled, but Zhang Yu knew to some extent what his friend was thinking. He comforted him: "There is no need to surrender to Kun. Why not go to the big world and see if there is any business to do..."
Zeng Juan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhang, my family owns an incense and candle shop. Except for rich people who burn incense on weekdays, everyone buys them to worship gods and do errands. The big world doesn't want these things: I went inside to see it, and there was only one
There is a new Taoist view in Western churches, but they don’t burn incense there.” He sighed, “My dad said that fortunately the price of spices has dropped a lot, otherwise this shop really wouldn’t be able to open.”
"Can't your family make something else?" Li Ziyu said.
Zeng Juan looked helpless: "My father knows this craft, what else can he do?" (To be continued.)
