Chapter 1038 Resentment is bound to be added to the annals of history!

Chapter 1038...It is bound to be slandered, and it will shine in the annals of history!

Grand View Garden, Qichiyuan

After Xichun and Zhenxi finished drawing the silver dollar pattern, Jia Heng greeted them for dinner.

The three of them sat around a circular dining table, with candles lit by candlesticks on the high tables. The orange candle flames fell on them like water.

Zhen Lan was sitting on Jia Heng's left side, serving tea and serving dishes. At this moment, she had a bit of a sense of the mistress of later generations.

Sitting next to Xichun, Jia Heng picked up a chopstick of fish and put it in the little loli's bowl, turned to look at Xichun and said: "Xichun is still growing, 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.

Seeing joy on her baby-fat little face, Xichun asked softly, "Brother Heng, what are you busy with in the residence recently?"

Jia Heng said: "Since returning to Beijing, these days have been busy with weddings and court affairs. It's okay for my sister to live in Ouxiangxie now."

According to Xichun's personality in the past, there might be some resentment for him not being able to accompany her, but now the little girl is much calmer, and she seems to be considerate.

Xichun said softly, "I'm fine."

Brother Heng was busy at first, since he came back, he hasn't been to her lotus root champagne.

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xichun, after a few days, let's go south by boat and go to the south of the Yangtze River together."

Xichun responded softly, didn't speak any more, just ate the food, waited for everyone to finish eating after a while, and said: "Brother Heng, I'm going back first."

Jia Heng put down the teacup and said in a gentle voice, "Then I'll see off 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 economical plans.

Xichunfang was overjoyed and responded softly.

At this moment, the rain had stopped a little bit, and the summer evening wind slapped the face with chilly raindrops, bringing an indescribable coolness, and the candles in the Nuan Pavilion buildings in the Grand View Garden were lit up, amidst the clouds It is quite warm in the Grand View Garden.

Jia Heng stared at Xichun, and said softly: "My sister lives alone in Ouxiangxie, usually lonely but not alone."

"Usually Sister Xiuyan and Sister Yingchun will come here." Xichun said softly.

Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Sister usually stays at Ouxiangxie?"

Xichun said, "Well, I don't have anywhere else to go."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt his hand soften, and felt that gentle hand grasp him, and said softly: "Sister Xichun, your sister Yun and sister Qin are usually more lively, and my sister should go and play with them more often."

Xichun responded softly, with a little shame on her cheeks.

Jia Heng said: "When it's raining, the road is a bit slippery, my sister should be careful."

The two of them were talking, and they came to the Ouxiangxie.

Since it is a water pavilion, it is naturally built in the lotus pond, with windows on all sides, and winding corridors on the left and right.

Such a cool place can also be lived in summer.

Jia Heng said softly: "Your sister is used to living here, does it feel damp?"

Xichun said, "It's okay."

Jia Heng said, looked at Ruhua, the accompanying maid, and asked with a smile: "Ruhua, how is sister Xichun usually here, how is Yiying eating and living?"

"Just wait until it's colder, and then move back to Nuanxiangwu." Jia Heng urged.

Nodding into the painting should be.

Jia Heng and Xi Chun talked, entered the warm pavilion of Ou Xiangxie, and the two sat down.

Under the light of the lantern on the corridor, Xichun raised her pretty face and asked curiously: "Brother Heng, how long will it take for the silver coins to be cast?"

Jia Heng said: "The grinding tools are made very quickly. It's only a few days. When the new silver dollars come out, I'll let my sister see them first."

Xichun let out a "hmm", lifted her white greasy face, looked at the young man, pursed her pink lips, and said, "I heard from the garden that Brother Heng and Sister Bao... have made a marriage agreement ?”

Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's been two years, and it was settled not long ago. It's because your sister Bao is getting older, and it's time to make a decision for life, so my aunt said this in front of the old lady last time. Didn't you know that before?"

Xichun shook her head, and said softly, "I still know about Sister Bao's matter from my aunt."

Jia Heng said: "I was also worried about affecting your sister Bao before, so I didn't say it."

"What about Sister Lin?" Xichun asked suddenly.

A look of reminiscence appeared on Jia Heng's face, and he said: "When Sister Lin was in Jiangnan, it was last year that we had a close relationship with each other."

Xichun clenched her handkerchief tightly, under her willow eyebrows, her bright eyes were full of autumn, and she said, "What about Sister Miaoyu?"

Jia Heng: "..."

Gathering his mind, he leaned closer, looked at the girl with childish eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Sister Xichun asked me why you asked me so politely?"

Xichun lowered her head slightly, for some reason, a faint blushing appeared on both sides of her cheeks, which could not be seen clearly under the light, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "It's nothing."

Now she vaguely heard from the servants that the young girls in the garden are all his confinement, and they will not marry him in the future, 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 Chaidai, Lanxi, and Xing Xiuyan almost all fell into Jia Heng's hands, some dark-minded people would inevitably arrange the three springs of Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, and also with Jiaheng...

Just like Xichun said to Youshi in the original book: "Don't take me away, I only end up innocent."

Jia Heng looked at the girl who was shy for some reason, and said, "Sister Xichun has grown up too."

I realized some reasons in my heart, Xichun is a very sensitive person, maybe I heard some rumors?

Like the Ningguo Mansion in the original book?Only a pair of stone lions at the door are clean?

Hearing this, Xichun's clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows narrowed, she fixedly looked at the young man, with confusion in her moist eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Sister Xichun, if you feel that living in the garden will harm your reputation as a boudoir girl, you can go back to Ningguo Mansion or Rongguo Mansion."

Hearing this, Xichun's delicate body trembled, she stared at the young man, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng...do you want to drive me away?"

Jia Heng said: "My sister is doing her own good. If you feel uncomfortable staying in the Grand View Garden, you can go back to the old lady of the West Mansion."

Hearing this, Xichun felt her nose sore, choked up and said, "When did I say I'm 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 all over her body and mind, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Jia Heng said in surprise, "Sister Xichun, why are you still crying?"

Xichun turned her face away, her eyelashes trembled, tears rolled down her face, flowing down her pink face, all the way to her smooth and delicate chin.

She was originally a little girl, her eyes were full of tears at this moment, she was so charming, she looked like a delicate rose flower.

Jia Heng was speechless for a while.

Is this Xichun, or Daiyu?

But it was also the first time seeing Xichun cry, the proud little Lolita was crying silently, only the twitching of her nose, as if she was very sad for what he said just now.

Jia Heng came closer, took the girl's slender hand, and said, "Sister, it's all right, don't cry."

Xichun made a symbolic struggle, but didn't break free, and didn't move too much, just turned her pear-blossoming rainy face, sobbing silently.

Jia Heng lightly helped the girl's shaved shoulders, and said comfortingly: "Okay, sister Xichun, don't cry, it was my slip of the tongue just now, I didn't want 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 I heard some gossip in the courtyard and thought about leaving Dongfu. I also thought that my sister is not young anymore, and I will arrive in Xuren in two years. At this age, if you feel uncomfortable in the mansion, it’s okay to go to the old lady’s courtyard.”

"I don't allow people, I don't allow people." The girl suddenly choked up and said anxiously.

Jia Heng: "..."

Jia Heng said: "But after all, it is for someone."

Xichun raised her tear-filled face, and said in a low voice: "I've already planned to go to Shuiyue Nunnery to be my sister-in-law."

Jia Heng: "..."

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is so good, why did you become a monk again?"

Cooperating with his previous heart-warming ways, didn't he warm up this cold heart?

"Anyway, no one wants me anymore. If you want to drive me away, it's better to become a nun and become an aunt. It's all over." Xichun said in a broken way, with her white teeth biting her pink lips and lowering her head, with a mournful face.

No one has cared for her since she was born, and she thought she had him... Now no one is caring for her.

Jia Heng saw the girl who seemed to be making angry remarks, she was silent for a moment, stretched out her arms and hugged the petite shoulders in her arms, a little dumbfounded, and said in a low voice: "Whoever said that I don't want you anymore, you will just live in the garden for the rest of your life." , and no one kicked you out."

Could it be that Xichun gradually reached puberty and began to rebel?Or because of the lack of love since childhood, some thoughts that shouldn't have arisen?

Xichun was held in the arms of the young man, her delicate body trembled violently, stiff for a moment and then softened, she forgot to shed tears for some reason, her heart was beating non-stop, and two flowers slowly floated on her clear and snowy face Blush, because the face is not big, bright and moving.

Jia Heng said: "If you don't want to promise someone, then don't allow it. Sister Xichun is not in a hurry to wait for a few years. At that time, if you want to marry someone, I will talk to my sister about a good marriage."

Xichun tremblingly said: "Second sister and third sister don't have them, and I don't allow anyone."

"Let's see what the fourth younger sister thinks in the future." Jia Heng comforted softly, and immediately supported the girl's shoulders, held the girl's face, gently wiped away the tears, and said softly: "Why are you still crying with teary eyes. "

Embarrassed by the young man's gaze, Xichun lowered her eyelashes subconsciously and pursed her pink lips.

Jia Heng just took the handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears, looked at the petite and blushing girl, and said: "Okay, don't cry, we will live in the garden from now on, and we have to go to Jiangnan to play around. No one in the house knows that among so many younger sisters, I love fourth younger sister the most."

"Yeah." Xichun lowered her eyes and responded softly.

On the other side, Ruhua and Caiping had already hid behind the screen, looking at the young man who was hugging his girl and caring, feeling a little bit ashamed and happy.

Jia Heng hugged Xichun and said, "Sister Xichun, you don't have to think too much in the future."

Xichun nestled her head into the arms of the young man, feeling an unspeakable peace welling up in her heart, her cheeks blushed for some reason, and said softly: "Brother Heng, there have been some gossips in the mansion recently, and they are arranging the events in the mansion. Girl's."

Jia Heng said: "Well, I guess that's what happened. When I ask your sister-in-law Feng to rectify it later, you shouldn't be so sensitive."

Xichun gave a soft "um" and tightly held the hand held by the young man.

Jia Heng was relieved for a while, and said: "It's getting late, sister Xichun, I have to go back."

"Yeah." Xichun lightly released Jia Heng's hand, with reluctance in her eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, go slowly."

After coaxing Xichun to rest, Jia Heng didn't stay any longer, and returned to the Qichi Courtyard in the Grand View Garden.

No more words for one night.

……

……

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, after dozens of days of uninterrupted rest by Jia Heng, it is finally time to set off.

On this day, the wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless. After the rain, the willows on the river bank are lush and green, and the emerald jade is smoky.

The midsummer morning wind was blowing the black and red satin-covered flags raised by the guards of the Jinyi Mansion on both sides of the river bank and the soldiers of the five cities and horses, and they were hunting in the wind.

Jia Heng tidied everything up, Dong Qian and Jin Yi Mansion prepared relevant boats and moored at the ferry in the capital.

At this moment, at the ferry of the capital, the building boats were moored on the river under the escort of Jinyifuwei. Looking around, there were more than [-] boats, large and small, and some red cannons were mounted on the boats.

Because Jia Heng's trip is to prepare for the establishment of a naval division, fight against pirates, and suppress power training, so the Hongyi Cannon must be taken away.

Because in recent days, there has been heavy rain in Guanzhong and the north, the water in the river is abundant, and the boats sailing on it are not congested and stagnant.

At this moment, on the three-storey building and more than ten feet long, girls such as Chaidai, Sanchun, Miaoxiu, Wenqi, Yunqin, etc. were on a flag-flagged boat, besides Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, Chen Xiao, and... Song Yan.

Under the instigation of Princess Xianning, Song Yan is going to Jiangnan to meet Song's father who is in Hangzhou Mansion.

This was Song Yan's first return to her hometown in Jiangnan. Holding on to a corner of the bamboo curtain, she looked at the see-off procession at the ferry, and her heart fluttered for a while.

And Wei Wang Chen Ran and Liang Wang Chen Wei, also accompanied by their followers, 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 doing in Jiangnan? Apart from playing, it's still playing."

Liang Wang Chen Wei said sourly: "Since Fifth Sister married Wei Guogong, has she decided to take care of her husband and teach her children?"

"What Wei Guogong, you will call my brother-in-law in the future, do you hear me?" Princess Xianning said in a clear voice.

Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Okay, fifth sister, this time you are going south with Ziyu, do you want to go to Henan first?"

Princess Xianning said: "Henan will implement a new policy recently, my husband and I will go and have a look."

Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said, "Your sister-in-law also wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and I said that she will go south with you."

"Sister-in-law?" Xianning asked in surprise.

King Wei nodded without explaining why.

On the other side of the deck, Jia Heng looked at Lin Ruhai who was seeing him off all the way, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, wait a while, let's meet again when we reach the south of the Yangtze River."

After Lin Ruhai prepared the grain and grass for the Northwest Army in the capital, he would also go south by boat, firstly to supervise the collection of summer grain in the Jiangnan area, and secondly, to deal with such matters as abolishing the two and reforming the Yuan.

Regarding the abolition of the two yuan and changing it to yuan, it is actually easier. Now the silver casting bureau of the Ministry of household has started casting the first batch of silver dollar molds according to the regulations and patterns he delivered the day before yesterday.

According to Jia Heng's suggestion, the dragon pattern and the currency system are on the front, and the 15th year of Chongping and the city of Shenjing are on the back, which is more of an anti-counterfeiting pattern.

As for the emperor's big head portrait, I really don't like it at this time, because it's just a crime of disrespect that can't be bypassed.

This was not the period when the idea of ​​a republic was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of reluctance, and he said, "Then Ziyu, you have a good journey."

Daiyu is now wearing a light yellow double-breasted vest with dark flowers, a white round-neck jacket, and a long skirt with moon-white dark flowers. This attire makes the girl lose a little of her immature girlishness. She holds a pink handkerchief in her hand, standing On the window of the Lou Chuanxuan, the reluctance to part is also seen in the bright starry eyes.

Zijuan and Xiren watched from behind, and said, "Girl, master is saying hello and goodbye over there."

Lin Ruhai waved towards the cabin where Daiyu was.

The other kings of Wei and Liang also got off the boat one after another and watched the boat from the shore.

Following Jia Heng's order to "set sail", the ship bulged its sails, braved the wind and waves, pushed aside the river on both sides of the ship's side, and headed east.

The people standing and watching on the shore gradually become smaller and farther away.

On the building boat, looking at the group of hairpin skirts and jackets around, Sister Feng smiled and said: "In other words, I haven't been back to Jiangnan for several years."

Now that she came out of the garden and looked at the sea of ​​people, she seemed to be in a much happier mood.

How about Uncle Heng's words, she shouldn't be a bird in a cage.

Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma, this time I came out to relax."

Sister Feng had a charming smile on her beautiful face, and she felt lighthearted in her heart, she said: "Yes, since I got married, I have been busy with a lot of troublesome things in the house, now I can relax when I come out."

On the other side, Li Wan and Mrs. Cao were sitting in the cabin wing, watching the green hills on both sides gradually go away, feeling an indescribable sense of ease in their hearts.

This daughter of a famous eunuch from a scholarly family couldn't help but think of a poem, which said that after being in a cage for a long time, she returned to nature.

Cao Shi 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 casting gentle and resentful eyes on the boy in the python suit on the deck. She hadn't seen him since the day before yesterday when Feng girl came to interrupt him.

I don't know the next time to practice... Well, I have something to do with her, and I don't know when it will be.

At this moment, Jia Heng seemed to be aware of something, turned his eyes to look at the cabin, met that Xiuya staring resentful gaze, and felt a little strange in his heart.

After really resurgent, 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 Huaxin woman who has been widowed for six or seven years is more clingy.

Just as Jia Heng was thinking, the tall boat with full sails stirred up white waves on the river, and headed towards the south of the Yangtze River with a clattering sound.

Above the blue sky, a group of birds with white feathers and sharp beaks twittered and flew towards the distance, like a painting scroll of ink and wash, but the midsummer of Chongping 16 years was sunny and the scenery was just right.

The overlapping mountains meander like snakes, passing quickly on both sides of the river bank, and the lush willow trees on the bank rustle in the summer breeze.

It seems to be vaguely telling: On May 16th, Chongping [-], Wei Guogong, Minister of the Ministry of War and Prince Taibao, Minister of Military Aircraft, Deputy Envoy of Jingying Jiedu, Jinyi Governor Jia Heng, went to Henan and Jiangsu by boat. Ask about the New Deal.

Since then, the vigorous Jiangnan New Deal of the Chen Han Dynasty kicked off.

……

……

Shenjing City, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, among the government offices

The king of Nan'an County sat on a table with tokens of various colors, and below it were Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and other founding heroes sitting on nanmu chairs.

"My lord, that one has already gone to the south." Chen Ruiwen strode into the meeting hall, and said to Nan'an County King.

Nan'an County King said coldly: "Let's go, don't worry about it, how is the food and fodder prepared recently?"

At this time, Ma Shang, the grandson of Ma Kui, who ruled the country, came out of the shift and said: "My lord, His Royal Highness Qi Wang has coordinated the various warehouses of the household department to prepare for military supplies."

The king of Nan'an County focused his eyes, walked over a few people, and asked, "Has the Hongyi cannon been transported from the Military Weapons Supervision recently?"

Liu Fang pondered and said: "Hou Xiandi has been transferred to the Beijing camp. The military inspector said the day before yesterday that it was inconvenient to transfer the Hongyi cannons. Our military situation is so hot here that I won't be able to use them. He also said that a lot of cannons were used last time. The gun, the Hongyi cannon is badly damaged and cannot be transported."

Speaking of this, Liu Fang pondered and said: "Hou Xiandi has already taken people to the Military Weapons Supervision to prevent the military plane from being delayed, and is going to bring the guns back."

At this moment, Hou Xiaokang came in from the outside, met everyone's eyes, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the Duke of Wei has already transported a lot of guns, we are one step too late."

"What?" Nan'an County King suddenly stood up and said, "How dare he do that?"

There was anger on Liu Fang's face, and she said: "The northwestern side is in trouble, with this cannon, we will be able to defeat the bandits sooner, what is this Duke of Wei's idea?"

Hou Xiaokang said: "Those Hongyi cannons were originally prepared for the navy, but this time they dispatched to the south, they said they were going to be used for decisive victory at sea."

"I think Duke Wei just doesn't want me to use it, and doesn't want me to easily quell the troubles in the northwest." Shi Guangzhu said with a sneer.

It can be said that during the Battle of Ping'an Prefecture, Huang Taiji conferred the title, and the reputation of Hongyi Cannon spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

The king of Nan'an County looked gloomy, and said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that there is no Hongyi cannon. With the brave soldiers of our Beijing camp, we can't pacify Heshuote Mongolia. Wait until the leader of the chieftain returns, and then argue in front of the emperor! "

Hou Xiaokang said: "Your Majesty, the report on the urging troops from Xining has just been delivered, I'll just dispatch troops as soon as possible."

The king of Nan'an County said: "After three days, we will send troops!"

……

……

Leaving aside the fact that the King of Nan'an and others led the troops to Xining, it is said that at this moment, in the government office of the Liangjiang governor far away in Jinling——

Since May, the south of the Yangtze River has entered the flood season, and the sky is also overcast with misty rain. The pavilions, towers and pavilions of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties are blurred in the wind and rain, and the outlines cannot be seen clearly.

In the yamen hall, Gao Zhongping sat on a red sandalwood chair, his hale and hearty face was like a cloud outside the window, as if a thunderstorm was brewing.

Below are the magistrates and magistrates of Jiangsu province.

Zhang Yongchuan, the governor of Jiangsu, sat on one side, his face was hidden in a shadow because of the light from the window on the right, and Zhang Hanwen, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, was on the side.

The former governor, who was still nominally in charge of the Jiangnan province, now only governs the Jiangsu province, and his power has shrunk greatly.

"Where is the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture?" Gao Zhongping said softly.

Shao Jisong, the magistrate of Changzhou Prefecture, was an old man in his fifties, with a white beard under his chin and dense wrinkles on his face. He came out of the class and said, "Master Taiwan, the next official is here."

Gao Zhongping asked like a cannonball: "Has the relevant criminal in Wujin County been detained in a prison? Has the mastermind behind the scenes been interrogated? Has anyone greeted Changzhou?"

Shao Jisong said softly: "The perpetrators involved in the crime were taken to prison, but they all said that they were out of righteous indignation, and there was no mastermind behind the scenes."

Gao Zhongping sneered, and said, "Indignation? Many of those villagers are landless tenant farmers. What does this official have to do with them?"

Shao Jisong couldn't answer for a while.

That makes him how to answer.

Gao Zhongping asked, "Sun Gueran, did Ma the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion ever want to be transferred?"

At this time, a military officer rose from the bottom, it was Sun Youzhen, the guerrilla general of the governor's battalion.

Sun Youzhen said softly: "Master Taiwan, the Jiangnan Camp said that there is no written document from the Imperial Military Aircraft Office and the investigation from the Nanjing Ministry of War, and the Jiangnan Camp will not send a single soldier."

In fact, this is a problem left over from history left by Jia Heng at the beginning, and it was confirmed by Emperor Chongping at the beginning, mainly to correct the weak coastal defense situation along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

During this period of time, Gao Zhongping had already planned to mobilize soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan battalion to assist Zhufu counties in promoting the New Deal, but there was resistance and he was controlled on the spot.

Gao Zhongping said: "Master Kuang, where is Lord Wei?"

Kuang Shouzheng said: "Back to Taiwan, Duke Wei's Feige transmission of letters not long ago has already led people to Henan, and now they have arrived in Kaifeng."

Jia Heng was on the boat for a while, then led the retinue of Jinyi Mansion, accompanied by Princess Xianning and Chen Xiao, and rushed all the way to Henan.

Gao Zhongping said: "Has the court's official reply been delivered?"

Previously, Emperor Chongping granted Gao Zhongping the Zhu approval, which was to grant the military power of Jiangnan Daying to Gao Zhongping, Governor of Liangjiang, as before.

Kuang Shouzheng said: "Master Taiwan, I haven't seen you a few days ago, I don't know the situation of the post house today, so I will send someone to ask."

With that said, he left the hall.

"Sun Guerrilla, as soon as he has a purpose, he will take people to the Jiangnan Camp to mobilize troops and horses," Gao Zhongping said.

"Yes." Sun Youzhen clasped her fists in response.

Gao Zhongping glanced at the civil servants below, and said: "It's a national policy to use a cane to spread the income to the mother. Whoever dares to shake the national policy will be a sinner for the big man."

The officials below, wearing official robes of various colors, trembled when they heard the words.

Gao Zhongping said: "Everywhere should still advance in an orderly manner. Now the Duke of Wei, who is famous for his ability to conquer and fight well, has come to deal with these lawless people who resist the implementation of national policies for their own selfishness. Thunder, hope you, etc. After going back, I will advise those who go against the trend in the territory, otherwise, the general trend will be suppressed, and all will be turned into dust."

Most of the officials in Jiangsu Province looked solemn.

"Zhang Futai." Gao Zhongping suddenly named Zhang Yongchuan, Governor of Jiangsu.

Zhang Yongchuan got up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Taiwan."

Gao Zhongping said softly: "The Suzhou government wants to provoke the leader. As the governor, you have to go first and implement the four new policies well."

Zhang Yongchuan said with a bitter face: "My lord Gao, there are also difficulties for lower officials. Some of the grain fields in Suzhou Mansion belong to the founders of the country in Nanjing. Which one of the lower officials dares to go to the governor's office? If there is a bloody conflict, the consequences will be disastrous. .”

The nobles and even the relatives of the emperor who founded the country all bought properties in Nanjing and Gusu. Unlike the land of Bashu, which did not have such an intricate relationship, many of the nobles and relatives of the emperor in the land of Jiangnan with rich land were rich.

For example, the Song family in Hangzhou.

In fact, once any reform in the history of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties touches the core circle of the ruling class, it will often encounter unspeakable resistance, and the reform will end without a problem.

Self-revolution, easier said than done?It's like pulling yourself up by your own hair.

It is even a false proposition, or a mistake in the terminology, because the top-down is never called a revolution, but...improvement, and the bottom-up is called a revolution.

These are all textbook definitions.

Once it falls into improvement, it will always face incomplete and compromised constraints, but the advantage is that it causes the least social turmoil and the least damage to the existing order.

Only by distinguishing the semantics can we get to the bottom of the matter and understand it.

Zhang Yongchuan sat down with a heavy heart.

Gao Zhongping said: "Gentlemen, Henan and Jiangsu have tried the north-south pilot project. It is said that the Henan side has implemented it in an orderly manner. On the other hand, my Jiangnan area is full of branches. At that time, when the court questioned the crime, we were all shameless. Go ahead."

After a group of local officials left the governor's office full of worries, Gao Zhongping rubbed his temples and asked, "After all, Jiangnan is different from Bashu."

The general judge Wu Xiancheng said: "When the master of Taiwan was in Bashu, he held the military and government in his hands, and there were few constraints, but in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many scholarly families. They support each other through marriage, and even the emperor's relatives secretly help. If the imperial court wants to clear up Zhang Tianmu, it is undoubtedly taking their jobs."

Gao Zhongping pondered for a moment, and asked, "How is the implementation of the four new policies in the land of Henan recently?"

"Henan is not as good as Jiangnan, Lord Zhitai. Henan has gone through a great turmoil. The gentry in Kaifeng and other provincial capitals were almost driven away by the imperial court. The Wei and Zheng clans of the original clan were also stripped of their titles and lands by the imperial court. This has reduced a lot of resistance." General judge 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 Taiwan was established in Bashu."

At this time, Gao Bo cupped his hands and said, "Father, the Duke of Wei deliberately used Henan as a comparison in order to highlight his father's helplessness in Jiangsu, so as to claim credit for the court."

Gao Zhongping pondered for a moment, then said: "You Li Zi, if such a famous minister and general are all as narrow-minded as you, how can there be heroes above China's glorious history?"

Gao Bo paused for a moment, and said, "This Duke of Wei must have thought so."

Gao Zhongping said: "The situation in Henan and Jiangnan is different. People in the world will not know it, and the sages in the court will not know it. The so-called theory of fighting for merit is now a source of criticism from scholars. If we can carry out the Dahan with the Four New Deals, we will inevitably add resentment and glory in the annals of history."

Hearing this, Gao Bo's expression froze slightly, his lips moved, and he was speechless for a while.
