Chapter 578: Broken Stream

Zhang Shenyan sighed and said: "Governor Zheng said that it was a hundred miles of land, and the imperial court was happy about it, but he didn't take it too seriously, and no one thought it would be on such a scale to recruit some displaced people for export reclamation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If the students play for this, there will be another dispute in the court, and to be honest, the students have no exit to see it with their own eyes, and it is not easy to say that they are hiding the facts. ”

Zhang Shenyan and Hong Chengchou are not fools, they lived here in Xinpingbao for three days, under the pretext that Zhang Shenyan was unwell and recuperated here, in fact, they were observing the situation on the Chongkou side, and as a result, they not only found a large number of people dragging their families out of the Chongkou, but also found the abnormality of the Xinpingbao place.

The role of the government is almost negligible, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Shenyan only see the people who are Yusheng in terms of organizing the export of the people, and those who wear cyan robes and Yusheng are definitely not from the government, but these people have strong organizational skills, so Hong and Zhang feel that they are a group of officials who are born in Jinshi, or the level that only old officials who have accumulated years.

And Yusheng has a station along the way, people get on the train with a wooden pair, check the names of the people's places of origin, and then the car is full of the rated number of people to set off, in addition to tea and food supplies on the side of the road, as well as medical points, headaches and brain fever can be treated at any time, and there is no charge.

Every once in a while, you can see a small group of cavalry or infantry marching to the north with the flow of people at the exit, these soldiers are strong temperament, solid armor on their bodies, weapons in their hands are obviously well-made, and what is even more rare is that each soldier has a high-spirited spirit on his face, they are on both sides of the people, obviously bearing the responsibility of protection, after ordinary people step out of the Great Wall with the flow of people, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of panic, and after the protection of the soldiers, presumably the mood of the people will be much more stable, and they can also prevent accidental injury, For example, sporadic horse thieves, or wolves.

In addition to these, there are tables and chairs outside several punches, and the green-robed officials sit upright and hold the pen, constantly recording the list of personnel at the punch, which seems to be doing the verification work, Hong Chengchou noticed that almost every officer can do his part skillfully, and there is no difficulty in copywriting, which is also very surprising, and what surprises him even more is that there are soldiers helping at every point, and those soldiers can also write with a pen, and rip the file to check the names of the personnel, one or two soldiers are not strange, But in the past few days, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, at least a few hundred soldiers have been temporarily transferred, but everyone can write and read, which makes people feel very surprised, and even have a weird feeling!

There is certainly no clear statistical record of Daming's literacy rate, but later estimates are about five percent, because Chinese attach importance to education, literate people will always win some respect, if they can read books well, can write books, even if they are not children's talents, it is rare, many poor families send their children to commercial houses as apprentices, all they want is to be able to write and calculate.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou chuckled lightly and said: "This time the student has really gained knowledge, I didn't expect a businessman to be able to run the place like this." ”

Zhang Shenyan frowned greatly, and only said softly after half a sound: "I just hope that he is really as he said in the middle of his play, scholarly and loyal from generation to generation, and there will never be any dissent." Otherwise, in my opinion, it will be much more powerful than the current rebellion of luxury and peace! ”

The rebellion has been in trouble for a long time, the rebels attacked Chengdu, and then attacked Guiyang, which are the capitals of the two provinces, it is conceivable how much disturbance the rebels brought to the place at the beginning of the uprising, and now the Ming army in the south has just begun to mobilize, with the efficiency of the local officials and the Ming army in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many years it will take to settle down, and with Zhang Shenyan's evaluation, Zhang Han's strength is probably still above the two thousand-year-old Tusi families of the luxury family and the An family, once there is chaos, I am afraid that it will affect the entire northwest and north.

"The same is true for student insights." Hong Chengchou said in a low voice: "The imperial court sent students and old gentlemen to come, of course, not to force Zhang Han to rebel, but to calm down, change something into nothing, if it can succeed, then the country has one more good ministers and good generals, there are people like Zhang Han in the north to guard again, and there is nothing to lose in the north. ”

Zhang Shenyan carried a letter with him, it was called Xu Guangqi when he left Beijing, the above is Zuo Guangdou in Tianjin Tuntian needs an assistant, Kong Minxing is already a well-known agricultural expert, mainly in the past two years Kong Minxing has made a lot of achievements in Datong, so his reputation has spread to Beijing, and now the imperial court because there are more than a million Liaodong refugees displaced, it is a great burden to the local and imperial court, so Zuo Guangdou and Zhang Shenyan and others said freely in Tianjin Tuntian, Tianjin in later generations is one of the megacities, At this time, it was just an ordinary port, and because it had not been in operation for many years, it had never set up a local government, and the area around Tianjin was vast and sparsely populated, plus some land on the outskirts of Beijing, so it should not be too much of a problem to arrange some Liaodong refugees.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Shenyan felt that he was still for Kong Min's good deeds, the placement of Liaodong refugees, and large-scale cultivation of tuntian This is a matter that is supported by the imperial court, and the person who presides over it is Zuo Guangdou, a powerful figure of the Donglin Party, if Kong Minxing enters Zuo Guangdou's eyes and makes actual achievements, it is not difficult to be promoted to the fourth or fifth grade local seal official within a few years as a person.

"Students saved." With a conclusion in his heart, Zhang Shenyan didn't share the matter with Hong Chengchou, only flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "Brother Yanyan, we have seen the situation here clearly, so we might as well continue to hurry." ”

"It's fine." Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "The students should also go to Taiyuan first, and then rush back to preside over the affairs of schools in Datong." ”

Hong Chengchou's promotion of education is mainly responsible for the autumn of the mansion, that is the first class of major events, usually he can also spot check the talent students in various places, to see if the scholars and magistrates everywhere are excellent in Confucianism, the function of mentioning the study is very noble, as long as he earnestly makes real deeds, others will not find fault, as long as he is not involved with Zhang Han, Hong Chengchou's tenure will still be very pleasant.

When dozens of escorts escorted the two-passenger green sedan chair and horse-drawn carriage to pass, many people heading to the north were stopped by the people of the Judge Advocate General's Department in charge of traffic control, whether it was the people, He Yusheng's convoy, or the soldiers in charge of escorting, everyone stopped.

The path of thousands of people was cut off from the middle at once, and there was almost no difficulty, except for some confusion in the ranks of the common people, but it soon subsided.

Hong Chengchou sat in the sedan chair and felt the silence outside, he couldn't help but open the sedan curtain and look outside.

Seeing that the traffic was cut off, all the flow of people stopped at once, and did not fall into chaos, Hong Chengchou couldn't help frowning again.

He has no hostility towards Zhang Han at all, Hong Chengchou is a person who feels very good about the balance of power, if Zhang Han gives him a sense of opportunity, then Hong Chengchou doesn't mind using Zhang Han as a springboard to climb up for meritorious service, but so far, everything with Yusheng is to make Hong Chengchou feel helpless, there is a sense of powerlessness in the face of nature, Hong Chengchou has a faint feeling that although Zhang Han's actions seem strange and absurd, but it implies the way of heaven, which makes him feel very surprised and a little resistant, just like the situation in front of him, the crowd like a river suddenly broke off, just like manpower cut off the river, although Hong Chengchou was surprised, but it also made him more resistant.

In front of Hong Chengchou's eyes, there is a group of people wearing Yuan Qing or azure robes, a few people seem to be dressed up as lifters or talents, they sit in a carriage with glass windows, after the traffic is blocked, these people have got off the carriage, standing in the same place and laughing and chatting, Hong Chengchou noticed that there seemed to be a red light in their carriage, and then saw that they were not wearing big sweaters, and thought that there were things for heating in the car, this kind of car Hong Chengchou had tried to sit in the Beijing Division, knowing that the inside was very luxurious, and the person in front of him did not know what his identity was, In addition to the few middle-aged people who seem to be readers, there are a few temperaments that are obviously not readable, and even have some vulgar and unliterate feelings.

As if sensing Hong Chengchou's gaze, those people stopped laughing and looked at the sedan chair, and those who called Hong Chengchou felt like scholars were all doing it, and those other people arched their hands.

Hong Chengchou sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Alas, ridiculous. ”

These people in front of them have no intention of kneeling at all, even if they have merit, the rest of them who have no merit will be finished as soon as they give up, but there is a stout man in his fifties, surrounded by everyone, even when he bows his hand to the sedan chair here, the gang of people also have a look of respect for that man, as for the Hong person in the sedan chair, that is, the feeling of saying hello, there is no admiration and awe that ordinary people usually see when they see high-ranking officials.

……

It was Ma Huaxian and Li Dayong and others from the Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce who gave up to the sedan chair, and it was Lao Cai, Cai Jiu and others who were felt a little vulgar by Hong Chengchou.

Except for Cai Jiu who rushed over from Zunhua and Lao Cai who set off directly from Xinpingbao, the group of people in front of him all came from Lingqiu, and they were the latest to come, and the rest of the members of the Chamber of Commerce or the military department who were ordered to go north had already set off.

The green sedan chair in front of him and the officials in it did not attract everyone's attention, the officials are really nothing here in Datong, and now Lingqiu County has no sense of existence, after several trials, Lingqiu Zhixian feels the huge strength of Yusheng and the Chamber of Commerce, and has not dared to do the slightest constraint, that Zhixian is to entertain himself with poetry and wine every day, and the local affairs are really unstable except for the things that Yusheng has not interfered in with the study and political warehousing, and even the local punishment is handed over to the torture room and the local gentry to operate, Anyway, there should be a lot of respect, just a lot of him.

Even if Hong Chengchou in front of him is sitting in the green sedan chair, he knows that he is a high-grade official at a glance, and everyone still doesn't care much, which is also the result of the long-term subtlety of He Yusheng.
