Chapter 6: No Heirs, No Voice

The big flag slowly lowered, and Gu Yanwu could see it clearly, there was no such word as Tianxingdao written on it, only a simple painting, a bucket of locusts and a bucket of millet seeds.

The painting says very clearly, as long as you have eyes, you will understand that this is the meaning of a bucket of locusts in exchange for a bucket of millet seeds.

Gu Yanwu paused for a moment, and when he understood, it was too late, Peng Guoshu added four big characters for Tianxingdao on the side of the painting, and wrote a big 'Gu' on the other side of the flag.

This person's pen is strong and powerful, and he has the three flavors of face and body.

"Yushan Academy in Lantian County is really cultivating you in the direction of Xu Officials."

After seeing Peng Guoshu's methods, Gu Yanwu inevitably ridiculed each other.

Peng Guoshu said with a smile: "What are officials for? Is there only two purposes for showing off one's identity and showing off one's parents?

I don't think so.

The gentlemen believe that the ultimate purpose of an official is to manage people, and the lieutenant chief is the most people-friendly official, and a person who can do a good job as a lieutenant chief can be a pavilion chief, and a person who can be a pavilion chief can generally serve as a county magistrate.

In this way, the officials who have risen step by step know the people's hearts best, and they know best what the local people's demands are, and then they will have a target, so that they will not be too biased when they are in government, and they will temper their official positions in the county order for a few more years, continue to be promoted, and understand how the entire government runs, so that they can be a good official and manage the people in a place.

Mr. Gu, the purpose of teaching and educating people in Yushan Academy is to teach people the way of thinking, the means of acting, and the composition of character.

Peng Guoshu was the last in Yushan Academy, so he had to devote himself to studying the way of the government, and his actions were inevitably a little biased, so please forgive me. ”

Gu Yanwu laughed and said, "It's really a real villain!" ”

Peng Guoshu chuckled and said, "A gentleman generally can't be a good official. ”

Gu Yanwu and Peng Guoshu sat on the edge of the fire and talked all night about the difference between a gentleman official and a villain official, and before he knew it, the sky was dawning.

Things are as Peng Guoshu said, after the banner of Tianxingdao was raised, Houma had one more Gu Tianwang.

This Gu Tianwang's soldiers are strong and strong, and he is recruiting troops and horses, and in just three days, Gu Tianwang Gu Yanwu has 3,000 men and horses under his command.

The strong men practiced every day, and the families of the strong men worked hard every day to catch locusts, and then used the captured locusts to go to the scribes under the command of King Gu Tian in exchange for food.

The scribes were vicious, and they only dried the dried locusts with their wings and legs removed, but the millet for the people was mixed with a lot of soil and grass roots.

However, in the eyes of the people, such things are commonplace, and it would be strange if all the people gave them clean food, because the locusts paid by the people were not dried and their wings and legs were not cleaned.

Therefore, everyone is happily trading with each other with this similar mentality.

When the people and horses under the command of Gu Tianwang gathered to tens of thousands of people, the big families near Houma began to flee one after another, Shanxi was full of disasters and famines, and there were chaos everywhere, and the land of five hundred miles nearby, except for the safe place in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, it was difficult for them to find a place to settle down.

Some people didn't want to leave after they arrived at Hancheng, which is across the river, and they looked back at Guanchuan and cried endlessly.

Everyone understood that it would be very difficult for them to return to Houma once they left.

The Da Ming Law makes it very clear that if the land is abandoned in one year, the government will take back 10%, and if the land is abandoned in two years, the government will recover 30%, and if the land is abandoned in three years, it will be relocated to the landless victims according to the ownerless land.

All the people who had a little money in Houma left Houma...... It is a sign that their land has been completely abandoned.

Of course, there are also some entrenched wealthy families who are reluctant to leave their homeland, and they build tall courtyard walls and recruit outlaws everywhere to protect their homes and hospitals.

At this time, they often inadvertently violate the "Da Ming Law", such as privately storing soldiers and horses, harboring criminals, possessing bows and arrows, and other crimes.

As a result, soon there were officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress, and those swordsmen who were usually powerful and good luck were never willing to confront the government head-on, as long as they heard that the government was coming, the swordsmen would ransack the master's house and disperse in a hurry.

There are not many such people, but the encounter is extremely tragic, when the government of a place completely loses its proper function, the world becomes hell.

"Liu Dahu was killed...... Women and children ......"

When Gu Yanwu saw such news, the hand holding the document began to shake involuntarily.

"There are no officers and soldiers to deal with their family......"

Peng Guoshu said lightly: "Where did the government come from here, where did the officers and soldiers come from, they were all those people who scared themselves, or those swordsmen deliberately found excuses to rob the master's house." ”

"I personally went to Liu Dahu and talked to him, and I also hoped that he could mobilize the villagers to burn the land to exterminate insects, so that they could plant crops in the coming year, why didn't he listen to what I said?

You must spend all your energy on raising the courtyard wall and building the fortress, it's really foolish! ”

Peng Guoshu said: "Self-inflicted, you can't live to say that this is such a person, sir, don't have pity, as long as we can unite all the people here around us, the locust plague is not a problem."

Tomorrow, we will begin to burn a large area of wasteland, even if it is smoked, and these plague gods will be smoked to death. ”

The busy official duties made Gu Yanwu have no time to think seriously, and he saw very clearly that what these people of his age did every day was to rebuild this land that had been eaten by locusts.

Everything he does is to save the people here, and he already thinks that everything he does here is meaningful and compassionate.

Judging from the letter he wrote to the friends of the Jiangnan Division, his mentality is very good, although he is extremely hard working in Shanxi, and his life is extremely poor, but seeing the people here gradually come out of the confusion under his leadership, and gradually begin to launch a counterattack against the locust plague, this makes his emotions extremely full, although his face is already dark, although there are already fleas and reptiles on his body, although it is rare to take a bath once a month, he thinks it is worth it.

"Yu's favorite thing is to meet Yu Wenxi with Taichong, a pot of turbid wine, two wild vegetables, you can have fun...... The livelihood of the people of Mourning Li is so difficult...... The corpse of the hated mediocre official is on top of it...... There are few locusts in January, locusts are scarce in February, and there is no sound of locusts in March...... Even though it's autumn, I see the grass blooming......"

Hearing that Xu Wu remembered a passage of Gu Yanwu's words to the people of Jiangnan Fushe, Yun Zhao nodded and said, "You must be careful to protect their pride in serving the country and the people."

There is no shortage of people in this world who are dedicated to the country, but they are disheartened because they have paid for a long time and have not received any return.

No matter how much you say and tell people like Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, it is better to let them personally participate in the process of social transformation.

These people are the ancestors of reasoning, if we want to defeat them from the tongue is almost impossible, they have read too many books, listened to too many lectures, accumulated too much pride, can make them bow their heads, only the facts! ”

Xu Wuxiang said with a smile: "Jiangnan talents are good at empty talk, they don't like to take care of mundane affairs, if they are allowed to personally participate in local governance and see the results with their own eyes, they will become our most staunch supporters, and it is a very cost-effective thing to let Peng Guoshu and them be wronged for a while." ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Since I have already figured out a way, let's continue, with Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, I don't believe that I can't catch those talents in Jiangnan who are above the top." ”

Yun Zhao was happy for a while, looked down and saw a document marked in red again, opened it and glanced at it, and said, "It's all old brothers, do you really want to kill you?" ”

Xu Wu thought and said: "It stands to reason that he should not be killed for embezzling eight thousand taels of silver, but this person has no repentance, and in the process of verifying this matter, he also made a dead hand, and almost burned to death the account team we sent to check the accounts.

This is an unforgivable sin. ”

"Does Uncle Leopard know about this?"

"I already know, it's the red marked by Uncle Leopard himself."

Yun Zhao sighed, picked up the pen and marked it, and after this pen, another old thief who had served the Yun family for more than 20 years would be killed in two places.

Xu Wu wanted to take away the paperwork, so Yun Zhao also left the study and went straight to Qian Duoduo's courtyard.

At this time, Qian Duoduo was curled up on a brocade couch like an old cat, and when he saw Yun Zhao coming in, he said shyly: "I'm pregnant." ”

Yun Zhao leaned down, looked at the half of the peach on the low table, and gently put his ear to Qian Duoduo's stomach and listened for a moment: "You are not pregnant, you just accidentally swallowed a peach pit." ”

Qian Duoduo angrily pushed Yun Zhao's head away and said, "You just swallowed the peach pit." ”

Yun Zhao picked up Qian Duoduo and ate the remaining half of the peaches, took a bite and said, "In the afternoon, we will accompany Uncle Leopard." ”

Qian Duoduo scratched his belly twice and said, "Why aren't you pregnant?" Tell me, did you use all your strength on Feng Ying? ”

Yun Zhao said disdainfully: "It's a piece of cake to deal with you two." ”

Qian Duoduo reached out and hooked Yun Zhao's neck and said, "Then try again?" ”

For Qian Duoduo's request, Yun Zhao happily obeyed.

So, a long time passed, and the person who was originally scheduled to comfort poor Uncle Leopard in the afternoon had to postpone it until the evening.

When Yun Zhao and his wife went to see the clouded leopard, they found that there were many people sitting in his courtyard, Yunfu, Yunhu, Yunbao, Yunjiao, and Yunxiao were all there, and the five people were drinking alcohol, and none of them made a sound.

When Yun Zhao entered, Yun Hu naturally gave Yun Zhao a place, so there were six people sitting around the table, and as for Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying, they were busy rearranging the wine and food on the side.

"Eight thousand taels of silver cost the life of a hero, I think that at the beginning, when we fought with the Qinling thieves for the pass, Hu Bazi was ...... to death."

The clouded leopard depressedly slammed his glass on the table.

"The silver is white, and the eyeballs are red, and the white silver cannot be pulled out when it reaches the red eyeballs, what is so strange."

Yun Hu glanced at Yun Zhao and put the wine glass on the table.

Yun Zhao drank a glass of wine and said, "Do you want me to pardon him?" ”

Yunfu spewed out a thick flue; "It's bad for my Yun family's great cause, and I can't keep him."

Yunxiao also spit out a puff of smoke and said: "My Yun clan is no longer a thief, we don't have the opportunity to eat meat in a big scale."

The rules set must be followed, Hu Bazi dares to kill the tent for 8,000 taels today, and maybe he will dare to ask for the lives of us people for more silver tomorrow.

Today's Hu Bazi is no longer the hero who fought with us in the past, whether he kills it, he will give a precept for those who come after him. ”

Yun Zhao looked left and right at his uncles, drank another glass of wine and said, "Should you kill or stay, give a letter, the document will be sent tomorrow, even if you want him to live, you won't have a chance." ”

The clouded leopard looked at Yun Zhao and said in surprise: "Will you spare him a life?" ”

Yun Zhao said: "No, but if Uncle Leopard begs me, I won't be able to harden my heart." ”

The clouded leopard waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, let you change it badly, kill, kill." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "I know that Uncle Leopard loves me, Feng Ying, Duoduo, pour wine for Uncle Leopard." ”

Feng Ying and the others saw that they had already made a decision, so they smiled and poured wine and vegetables for the elders.

Yun Fu glanced at Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo's slender waists and frowned, "It's been almost three months since you got married, and there is no movement at all?" ”

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "It's not time." ”

Yun Hu glared at Yun Zhao and said, "That sow is so long-lived, and she has given birth to three little piglets this year, useless things." ”

Yunhu's words made Feng Ying sassy, and Qian Duoduo was furious, and he bowed his head and didn't say a word, but Qian Duoduo stomped his foot and said that Yunhu couldn't speak.

Yun Hu snorted coldly and said, "If you also give birth to three cubs for my Yun clan at a time, your Uncle Tiger will smear honey on his mouth and talk to you every day."

Women, no cubs, just useless!

In another half a year, if there is no movement, Xiao Zhao will marry five more women and try it. ”

These words made Yun Zhao angry, and he paddled his wine glass on the table and said: "Our Yun clan is already having a difficult heir, and you don't know it, if you give birth to a bunch of money-losing goods like you, then you will be wronged...... Oops, just hit someone if you can't say it! ”

"Lao Tzu beat you to death......"

From the second day of Yun Zhao's marriage, such scenes will always appear, so that by now everyone is no longer secretive, what to say viciously.

If Yun Niang is also there, the scene will be even more unbearable.

"It can't go on like this!"

When he slept until midnight, Feng Ying turned over and rode on Yun Zhao's waist and said condescendingly.

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "I've worked hard. ”

Feng Ying shook his head and said, "We are all working hard, I think Duoduo and I should go to worship God!" ”

"It's better to worship God than to worship me!"

"You don't need to top your fart!"

"What you say is so unreasonable, it's useless to worship me, it's useful to worship God, the child you gave birth to is mine, or is it God's?"

"Half, half ......"

"I ...... Kill you! ”

In the early morning, the autumn mist fell from the mountainside again, and Yushan City became wet, and Yun Zhao's horse's hooves made a crisp clatter on the bluestone slab.

A big pig with a sharp mouth and a black back slowly paced in from outside the city, glanced at Yun Zhao, and took the three little pigs to the mountain road first.

Yun Zhao was not in a hurry, so he followed behind the sow and looked enviously at the three little piglets behind her.

It is said that there are many sons and many blessings, which is fully revealed in this pig.

Although many of her descendants were eaten by the people of Yushan Academy, Yun Zhao estimated that the wild boars that could survive within a hundred miles of Yushan should all be her descendants.

I can't stay at home anymore!!

Mother, uncle, Feng Ying, Qian Duoduo, and even He Chang, Yun Chun, and Yun Hua, who couldn't beat him, looked at him strangely.

"My brother gave birth to another big fat boy this year!"

Yun Yang said angrily behind Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao and Qian Shaoshao glared at Yun Yang together.

Yun Yang raised his hand and said, "I said the wrong thing." ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "Tiger cubs are only born in half, and only pigs give birth to litters...... Hey, Ah Yang, why haven't you left a man and a woman all these years? ”

Yun Yang laughed and said, "Even if there is Lao Tzu, I don't know." ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Shaoshao, when will you marry Xiao Chu?" ”

Qian Shaoshao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm waiting for her to lose weight." ”

Yun Yang said disdainfully: "Your sister asked you to marry, you will marry?" ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "Yes, you are not convinced? ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yun Zhao's heart was even more annoyed, and he urged the war horse to run towards Yushan Academy with the old sow howling.

After entering the Yushan Academy, even the most irritable people will be quiet.

Some scholars and ladies in Tsing Yi are holding books and reading in the academy.

The tone is subdued and abrupt.

This is the early reading of Yushan Academy, which is said to be able to cultivate the righteousness in the hearts of scholars.

Many absent-minded scholars who cultivated Haoran righteousness saw Yun Zhao, nodded, and continued to pretend to study hard, and deliberately chased after Yun Wu, so that when it was time for class, the gentlemen could see their wet clothes and evaluate their hard work in reading.

For this, Yun Zhao could only sigh...... Yushan Academy has only been established for less than ten years, and the students in the academy are not as good as the next generation.

Like Xu Wuxiang, Zhang Guozhu ...... There are fewer and fewer students who can afford to do so...... But the appearance is becoming more and more refined.

In a few years, the ugly talent will no longer be the unique sign of Yushan Academy.

Mr. Xu Yuanshou sat on the sun-viewing platform and began to drink the first pot of tea of the new day!

Since the rhinoceros Mochizuki peak was leveled, he specially built a sun-viewing platform for himself here.

In front of him is the rising sun, under him is the rolling sea of clouds, plus a scholar in Tsing Yi with a lofty instrument, it can indeed make people feel that this gentleman is a heavenly person.

"What, can't you stay at home?"

"When I got married in March, my mother expects her children and grandchildren to be in groups, how is this possible!"

Xu Yuanshou poured Yun Zhao a cup of tea and said: "The wealth of others in this life is counting on you, and the wealth of children and grandchildren is counting on your son, so your thoughts are naturally more urgent."

Nowadays, the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have become more and more westward, everyone wants to replace it, my Lantian line is the most promising force in charge of the world, if you have a son, you will definitely be able to make Lantian County people's hearts uplifted, think God bless Lantian County. ”

Yun Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "You also urge me?" ”

Xu Yuanshou said with a smile: "What's the use of me urging you, giving birth to a child is completely the result of personal efforts and timing cooperation, come and come...... Here's a pack...... Oh, don't go, it's the old man's unique secret recipe...... The old man relied on this recipe to give birth to two sons! ”

Yun Zhao left the sun viewing platform and avoided Xu Yuanshou, when he saw John Tang's devil-like face coming out of the thick fog, and when he saw Yun Zhao, he smiled and said: "Dear master of Lantian County, if you are willing to listen to the voice of the Lord, the Lord will definitely bring you the gospel and make your descendants prosperous......

"Get out of the ......"

The above is the consequence of Yun Zhao taking the initiative to take the sin of not having children on himself.

I thought that Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo would be grateful to him, but I didn't expect that these two heartless women also thought it was Yun Zhao's fault......

Family affairs, like state affairs, sometimes need to be synthesized with conspiracy.

It's just that Yun Zhao's instinct to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade in later generations is so out of place in this era when reproductive science is still extremely unprosperous.

This matter has seriously affected Yun Zhao's handling of government affairs, and has even been raised to the political level by some people.

Fortunately, Yun Zhao couldn't find anyone who could replace him as the master of Lantian County, so he could be relieved, at least, there would be no battle for succession in Lantian County.

These people are just consciously or unconsciously putting pressure on him.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest...... For the first time, Yun Zhao experienced the pouring of the ancient unreasonable truth!

If you don't have an heir, you don't have a voice!!
