The troops that followed Chen to suppress the rebellion have returned to Zhejiang one after another, with only two thousand Qi's army remaining, waiting to escort Master Jingluo. By the day the army set off, all the officials left the city to send him off, but it was found that Master Jingluo had already made a one-step move. Many people have prepared gifts, but I don't know who to give these to.
While the officials were talking, Xu Peng, Duke of Wei, raised his voice and said, "Mr. Jingliu doesn't like the scene of separation the most, so first, he will accept everyone's wishes and take the gift back. You will be responsible for your duties, which will be the greatest reward for him."
Amid a sigh, all the officials could not help but turn back to the city. Lord Shen, who had released their pigeons, did not go south to Hangzhou, but traveled in a simple manner. He only brought dozens of guards and took a boat to go east... Suzhou.
The boat was smooth sailing. It arrived in Suzhou one or two nights. At dawn on the third day, as the chief of grain management in Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue, he entered the city silently and leaned on the passenger ship dock... His current identity is extraordinary. Every move is very popular, and every word and action is too great to touch Chen Cang. Only in this way can he do something special about the Southeast Administration. When he appeared in the Suzhou government office, he was startled Gui Youguang and quickly ordered someone to close the door and ask the Lord to speak in the back hall... "It's so hot. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. Chen Ju looked at Gui Youguang, full of stewed oil, sweat and said = "These few Nian, you are so lucky." Gui Youguang wiped the sweat with a towel and smiled, "It's also the age of blessing." Seeing Chen, he was sweating, and he hurriedly said, "I'm asking people to take ice cubes. "No, it's good to sweat in summer." Chen shook his head and said, "Just cut a watermelon, preferably from Jingshui Town." "Real." Gui Youguang asked someone to cut the melon quickly, and said to Chen, "I didn't expect that sir will come so soon." "You can't hurry up," Chen said, "There's still a lot of things waiting in Hangzhou. "Thank you for your hard work." Gui Youguang immediately entered the state and said, "I wonder how many days sir, sir, will you have any schedule?"
"At most five days." Chen thought for a while and said, "The purpose of my visit this time is to meet with shareholders of Huilian No. 1. This has been notified to them, and you must also attend... This takes at least one day; second, Mr. Ouyang has invited me to visit Suzhou Engineering Academy several times, and it takes one day to show some results; third, Suzhou General Translation Bureau, the School of Engineering is open, and I want to speak, which takes at least half a day each; fourth,... Can't your brother-in-law let me save some trouble?"
After hearing the adult complaint, Gui Youguang could only smile bitterly apologetically: "I don't know what happened to him, and I didn't listen to him, so I almost tied him to Hangzhou with a rope." He bowed and said, "Don't be as good as him. The smarter a person is, the more he is, the more he is. "I know." Chen smiled and said, "He deserves my visit to the cottage three times." He said, "This matter is put in place, Mr. Qing Huiyang comes out of the mountain first, and then do other things." "No, no, no." Gui Youguang said repeatedly: "It's still important to do it. If it really doesn't work, I tie him to see you, and I can't delay your major affairs."
"Oh, sincerity is the first priority." Chen smiled and said, "I will invite him immediately and come here specifically; if I finish doing something else, I will be on the way, and sincerity is far from there.
Gui Youguang sighed and said, "Kaiyang is really a blessing..." It can be seen that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Time is precious, but I just had lunch in the mansion and stared for an hour. When the sun was over, the heat was slightly reduced. Then Shen urged Gui Youguang to go out. Zheng Ruozeng's home was in Zhengjia Village outside Suzhou. If he didn't take advantage of the city gate to go out, he could only talk about it tomorrow.
After leaving the city, the river was still very lively. The cargo ships waiting to enter the city were all over. They knew that there was no hope today, so they all set their anchors. The guys started cooking. The guys jumped naked into the water to wash away all their fatigue. The bosses and shopkeepers sat on the recliner, drinking tea, humming a small song, watching the "Shanghai Business News" that was still a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty or... sucking a fairy smoke.
"I'm not right?" When Chen was close to a ship opposite, he clearly saw a fat man sitting on a chair using a fire slit to attract a cigarette pole more than one foot long, and then sucked the dry tobacco with a look of enjoyment. "What, what?" Gui Youguang was always nervous. Although Chen was not here to inspect, he couldn't explain if there was a leak.
"Why are there anyone smoking?" Chen exclaimed as if he had appeared in a new continent, "I've never seen it before!" Sanchi next to him was very surprised when he saw it. Even when he learned about the mutiny, he was not so surprised.
"Smoking..." Gui Youguang suddenly said: "You mean, 'Tanba, ah, I don't know when this wind came. Anyway, it won't take half a year. At the beginning, I saw merchants returning from Nanyang. Now there seem to be more and more..." He pointed to several adjacent boats and said: "Look, there are two on the four boats."
Chen saw it and murmured: "Tanbafeng? It should be the Latin sound of tobacco... It seems that this thing was really transmitted from South America. He vaguely remembered that when Columbus appeared in the New World, he saw the local natives smoking. It has been seventy or eighty years since then. With the introduction of the trade preparations to the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing strange.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has a slight obsession with cleanliness and does not like the smell of smoking, so after a moment of surprise, he did not fluctuate much. Gui Youguang originally wanted to make one to show him, but when he saw that he lacked interest, he didn't say anything.
Moreover, Gui Youguang appeared, and since he saw the "Danbashi", the sinking became very sank. Based on his understanding of the adults, he fell into deep thought and thought about the table. He signaled the people on the boat not to speak, so as not to disturb the adults.
Chen was indeed pricked by the appearance of tobacco. He didn't think of Lin Zexu's Humen's cigarette removal. This kind of cigarette is not connected with opium. Although he doesn't like smoking, he has no intention of banning smoking. But this imported product reminded him again that his original identity was one by one, an ancient bureaucrat who was trapped in the old official game. There was also a hidden hidden person who knew about the great voyage, industry, Qing Dynasty, Eight-Nation Alliance, and this great country that had been great for five thousand years was about to fall into the darkest, most backward, and most maddening five hundred years in history...
But can a person really change the course of history? To be fair, Shen thinks it is unlikely. History has its strong laziness. To change its direction is like hitting a stone with an egg; of course, he has to admit that every progress in history is driven by a few people, but the premise is that the time and place are harmonious. Just as the times can create heroes, but heroes cannot create the times. This is the truth.
Especially since he lacks the romantic feelings necessary to become a great man of the times, his biggest dream in his previous life was to become the director. Not to mention the prime minister, even the minister, and the minister dare not think about it... Being down-to-earth is his advantage, but being too realistic is his shortcomings. It is more than enough to make him a good ordinary person, but it is more than enough to let him bear the prosperity of the nation and the turning point of national destiny, which is purely a problem for people to force themselves.
If possible, Chen hoped that he could concentrate on government affairs, treat himself as a genuine Ming Dynasty official, and forget about the future life... He believed that as long as he was born fifty years earlier, he would definitely do this, but the damn God would throw him to the late Jiajing year, this dead era that sometimes had no heroes.
This year, Columbus has already emerged a new continent, Magellan has also completed a global voyage, Spain is about to annex Portugal, the sea coachman is about to set sail, the first great queen of Great Britain is still learning how to manage the country...
The international situation is changing, and the country is hopeless. One by one. At this time, the Japanese Unification War had begun. There would be no Japanese pirates in the southeast in the next hundred years. Although the Mongolians came to rob the country all day long, they had lost the glory of the Golden Family. They had only been playing the role of robbers for decades and were not interested in the land of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was truly threatening. However, compared to the later babies, they had enough time to get rid of them. In short, if the Mongolian problem could be solved, the Ming Dynasty would usher in a rare border peace.
Looking at the country, although Shen Shi had no historical knowledge, he knew that the emperors after Jiajing were generally very lazy and the power of the cabinet would be unprecedentedly powerful... At least this is how the historical books describe Zhang Juzheng's conditions for reform.
He also knew that the Little Ice Age that destroyed the northern agricultural civilization was about to come, and there would be crop yield reductions, yields, and even no harvests for decades. Countless farmers would face the fate of starving to death. This had a profound impact on all countries in the Eurasian continent. After many relatives and friends starved to death, Europeans left the land and joined the already vigorous voyage, went to America, Africa, and India to find livelihoods, and passively completed the difficult turn from agricultural countries to industrial and commercial countries; while the Chinese were Many relatives and friends also left the land after starving to death, but they did not know where they lived. They could only wander on the territory of the Ming Dynasty and form a vast army of refugees. Wherever they went, they would pass through the border like locusts. Not only did they eat and drink, but they would also vent their dissatisfaction with their fate on the princes, officials and gentry, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. That is why Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Jingzhong and others were born, and finally destroyed the Han world alive, allowing the alien race to take the opportunity to enter the pass and completely cut off the possibility of keeping up with the times.
But in sharp contrast to the starvation of the north, the booming development of the southern industry and commerce is the great enrichment of social material... The influence of the small glacier is mainly concentrated in the northern region. The south is not affected, and it can still allow the poor to eat and make the rich extravagant. This is caused by the unreasonable fiscal system, and it can be changed through powerful adjustments to the extreme unevenness of the poor and the rich.
Let's look further and decide who will be on the sea in the future. The Ming Dynasty's fleet is not "Although it is only mainly maritime merchants, it is also stronger than the power of the two teeth in the Far East; the Ming Dynasty's merchants have already set foot in various countries in the South China Sea, and even arrived in India and the Persian Gulf. The wider and rich Australia and North America are still uncultivated. Such a large blank space, if you are heavy enough, you will be able to exert some seemingly unsolvable problems into opportunities for the nation's second entrepreneurship!
All of this can make people excited to sleep, but once they return to reality and want to complete it, it will be difficult to reach the sky. He is not afraid of the long time, and it doesn't matter if he can't finish it in this life. But this feeling of "everyone is drunk and I am awake alone," is the most painful. It makes you unable to establish confidence in the future, and even believe that you are playing with fire and it is unlikely to have a good end. It is because of this mentality that he is not very concerned about children's study. If something happens to me, the little bastards can only colonize overseas. If there is really that day, he would rather become a moral villain than a Taoist sect full of saints' words.
Nonsense thoughts are just a release of the mind. In fact, Chen has long been walking on this road of no return. Although everything he did is just piecemeal, everything is laying the foundation for the future. Although he is unwilling to accept his heart and unwillingness, since he can no longer turn back, he can only go all the way to the dark...
Chen secretly cheered himself up. On the road to finding the future, even if he died in ignorant persecution, he would point out the direction for later generations. What he did would not be meaningless. Well, at this point, he felt that he was so noble that he was as noble as Copernicus, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. His heart, which had been heavy, finally relaxed and his body stretched out.
Hearing the gurgling sound of the bow of the boat hitting the water, his sank of eyes refocused. Then he realized that it was already dark, and the boat was far away from the hustle and bustle of Suzhou City. He drove quickly towards Zhengjiazhuang in a small river with fields on both sides of the river.
The night was so beautiful, and the moonlight was hazy. I smelled the fragrance of beans and wheat on both sides and the water plants at the bottom of the river. I felt intoxicated and said to myself: 'If a girl standing next to me doesn't need to be too beautiful, I will break the precepts.' Fortunately, I was calm and now I was Gui Youguang's old face, and I was immediately lost in confusion and became unhappy and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Gui Youguang was so dizzy. The adult didn't say anything for more than half an hour, and he just opened his mouth to "why"? It almost overturned him like explosives. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "I'll arrive at Zhengjiazhuang soon.
Following the direction pointed by Gui Youguang, Chen Shi vaguely saw the lights, and thought it was there. After passing a cluster of black pine and cypress, he really looked at the outline of the village, and even clearly heard the barking of dogs.
The boat bent into the fork port and stopped at the simple pier outside the village. At this moment, there were seven or eight small boats parked on the pier, but no one was seen. However, when the group stepped onto the pier, a squeaking sound still aroused the alertness of the night watchmen, and asked horrifiedly: "Who?!" It was obvious that they had just woken up from their sleep.
Gui Youguang quickly reported Zheng Ruozeng's name, and the person breathed a sigh of relief. He calmed down and said, "The second family at the entrance of the village will leave." He muttered a few words in a low voice, "So many people are here to do something so late?" and so on, he retreated back to the shack to sleep.
Without his guidance, Gui Youguang also knew where Zheng Ruozeng lived. He led Chen into the village with a familiar way. He arrived outside a small courtyard and knocked on the door: "Kaiyang, open the door!"
A woman's voice came from inside and said, "Brother-in-law, is it you?"
After receiving the affirmative reply, the woman opened the tied door and said, "I don't know where to drink, and when I will come back. If this continues, I will have to die of drinking. Brother-in-law, you have to talk about him well..." As he was talking, he looked up and saw Chen and his group. Her voice immediately stopped abruptly. He took off his apron in panic, put his head on, and said to Chen and Fu, "It's rude." As he said, he complained to Gui Youguang, "I haven't finished a guest, and my brother-in-law doesn't say anything." He made a circumference for himself, his voice was gentle and beautiful, and his behavior was dignified and polite, and he was completely different from the chattering and complaining of the other one.
Gui Youguang held back his smile and said, "It's my fault." He said, and introduced her, "This is my master who came to visit Kaiyang in detail."
The woman obviously had heard of Chen Jue. She was startled and then quickly returned to normal. She asked Chen Jue to enter the house, let the children meet their uncle and adults, and then drove the children to the east room to avoid messing with the guests. She asked if she had a meal, and after receiving a positive answer, she made tea for the guests, and everything was calm and elegant, showing everyone's style... They were the daughter of a great scholar, so of course they had to be stylish.
Just seeing her initial complaint, Chen always felt funny and said to himself: 'It turns out that women's costumes are no longer prepared for some days, but a habit of living."
Gui Youguang asked Zheng Ruozeng again where he went and whether he could come back tonight. Wei replied, "I don't know if he went to the temple or the temple, he might come back or he might not come back." He said apologetically and said, "You are afraid that you will be in vain. Even if he comes back today, he will be drunk and unconscious." Gui Youguang said in his heart: "Yes, you have to visit the cottage three times...
But the time of rest is so precious, so how can I have that free time to come again? Then I asked, "Dare you dare to ask my sister-in-law, do you have many places to drink with Mr. Kaiyang?"
"Not many, just a few places." Wei replied.
"Do you know where it is?"
"I know." Wei said all the places.
"Operation separate, please bring Mr. Kaiyang back." Chen ordered Sanchi, and the guards immediately went out to find someone.----jlllj j jllj j jlllj j jlllj j jlllj j a parting -----j jlllj ~-------j jlllj ~----------j---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chapter "Yang" is very important and is the theme of the future story. After reading more than 10,000 words, I know where my story will be written in the future and why I have to write it that way.
