Zhu Cihong is not very old and looks like a student. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Qiaoer stumbled upstairs and fell to the ground, and almost threw herself into her arms, naturally she was a little ashamed and couldn't raise her head, and she didn't recognize who the person opposite was.

Normally, aren't the people in the office building of the School of Astronomy the same as their classmates in the school?

Ning Wei wanted to say something to relieve the embarrassment, but suddenly found that Zhu Cihong's expression was slightly strange.

Zhu Cihong was a little stunned.

Wu Qiao'er thought it was her own reason, and hurriedly tidied up her outfit. But she soon found out that she hadn't gone all. Moreover, the other party doesn't seem to be looking at himself.

Sure enough, in the corridor, Li Xiangjun's figure appeared.

Zhu Cihong and Li Xiangjun looked at each other, and there was silence for a while.

After a long silence, Wu Wanying appeared.

Wu Wanying said goodbye to her new mentor and was about to go through the formalities, when she suddenly found that all her identification documents had been handed over to her sister. Thinking of this, I realized that my sister seemed to let herself stay in the hotel. Fortunately, he also left a message with the waiter of the hotel, so that his sister would not lose himself.

Thinking like this, Wu Wanying was still a little worried that her sister would not find her in a hurry, so she said goodbye to Lu Zhongyu and the others, and also went down the stairs to leave.

Unexpectedly, I saw Wu Qiaoer at the staircase.

The reunion of the sister and brother made Wu Qiaoer complain for a while: "Wherever you went, I was going crazy looking for you." ”

"Hey, didn't I run into Teacher Lu and others lecturing, I'm going to steal the teacher...... I ran all the way. Sister, don't be in a hurry to complain about me. I tell you, this is a great joy! Saying that, Wu Wanying planned to tell the matter of apprenticeship.

Wu Qiao'er interrupted directly unhappily: "A big happy event? I finally went to find President Zhu in person, and told me about your admission to Beijing Normal University as a meritorious hero, but you ran away instead, do you really plan to kill my sister angrily? ”

"Enrollment? You've got it...... I have been promised by my mentor, and I have the status of a meritorious soldier, and I already have the opportunity to study in the School of Astronomy! ”

The sister and brother glanced at each other, only to realize that the two were actually on the same path.

After Wu Qiao'er complained for a long time, she let go of her worries and rose happily.

It was only at this moment that Wu Qiao'er recalled that she had almost bumped into someone just now: "Eh, what about that classmate?" ”

The two of them have been exploring for a while, where can they still see Zhu Cihong and Li Xiangjun?

Zhu Cihong naturally took advantage of the meeting between the sisters and brothers just now to break the silence, broke the deadlock, and went downstairs together.

Although the Kyoshi University Hall is a newly built campus, there are many grass and trees that have been preserved to a large extent. In addition, traditional projects such as landscape gardens are China's strengths, and there are naturally many beautiful rockeries and small lake pavilions in the hall of Beijing Normal University.

When Zhu Cihong came for the first time, he even named a lake in the school as Weiyang Lake quite interestingly. The two walked on the shore of Weiyang Lake, gossiping as they walked.

A large group of guards followed back and forth, but without a trace, they made a clear effect.

"Long time no see." Zhu Cihong paused and said, "Later, I heard that you came to Beijing Normal University to teach, how are you doing?" ”

"It's fine. In Nanjing, he also taught at a normal school. It's just that I didn't expect to meet here. Li Xiangjun said softly, and countless memories flashed.

Zhu Cihong also thought of when he was in Nanjing. That was the scene when Zhu Cihong first took power and supervised the country in Jiangnan. I remembered the willfulness in Xuanwu Lake at that time, and said with a smile: "Two years have passed, the landscape has changed, and you are still the same beauty." It's just that I don't have the willfulness I had when I was young. ”

Li Xiangjun frowned and snorted lightly: "Count it out, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old." Pretending to be old at such an age? ”

"Haha, ordinary people, they should have children at this age." Zhu Cihong said: "Although I try my best to squeeze out some time, I still have to be busy every day, how much leisure I have all year round, and I can only relax when I go out of the palace." ”

"I just heard in President Zhu's office that the School of Astronomy is going to launch a project to make up for the sky in one month. As soon as I heard that, I thought that you were here again. Li Xiangjun said.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he was very excited: "Yes, this is a grand event. In the future, Daming Erlang will open up overseas, and this is a starting point......"

Li Xiangjun listened quietly, and suddenly said, "Holy ...... Planning to pro-enlist? ”

"Pro-conscription?" Zhu Cihong was slightly stunned, then smiled and did not speak.

At this moment, it is time for the end of class. There were more and more students on the road, and Ning Wei walked over and whispered a few words in Zhu Cihong's ear.

Zhu Cihong thought about his next arrangements again, and sighed: "I'm out of company." ”

After speaking, Zhu Cihong disappeared into the heavy protection of the guards.

Behind, Wu Wanying and Wu Qiao'er glanced at each other, seeing that the two had just talked side by side, Li Xiangjun stared for a long time and guessed something.

……

Tianjin Port.

Compared with Tianjin Wei in the past, Tianjin City is now much more lively.

Not only because the domestic war has calmed down and the water transportation has been reopened, Tianjin has once again ushered in merchants from all over the world as a transportation hub. The most important thing is the Tianjin Port at the mouth of Tianjin.

As a port where the river and the sea meet, this direction is easy to prosper.

Especially in the past, Tianjin stood on the right side of reform, and there were more policy dividends here. For example...... Foreign merchants can sail their ships directly to the port of Tianjin as a trade.

Of course, correspondingly, Tianjin Customs also has a large number of tariffs to collect.

At this moment, the busy and lively dock is crowded with people coming and going. Compared with the sparse docks, if you want to dock in Tianjinwei, you often have to wait for a long time.

But on such a busy dock, there is a place that is in good order, and even a large section of open space is left for a few people to say goodbye.

Farewell is Wu Sangui, who has just taken a vacation.

was sent away, but it was Zu Dashou who once left a great prestige in the history of Liaodong.

"Uncle, I'm afraid others have said something I don't know how many times. But when I saw it today, I couldn't help but say more. The sea is dangerous, and overseas is a place of miasma, and my uncle is a ...... As the shopkeeper of this expedition company, why bother to run it himself. Wu Sangui looked at the traces of time on Zu Dashou's face and sighed.

Zu Dashou is no longer young. Decades of military service have brought him injuries and old age.

When he once led troops in Jinzhou, at least as a commander, he didn't need to charge into battle. Now that he is returning to Daming in the middle of nine deaths, there is really no need to rush to the front line.

Moreover, in Wu Sangui's view, this expeditionary company with a share capital of one million taels is also something similar to the nature of an imperial businessman. Isn't this kind of thing just for His Majesty the Emperor to use to collect money?

In this case, being a shopkeeper does not talk about corruption, but you can rely on a generous pension for the elderly.

Even, Wu Sangui felt that this was a pension position.

But Zu Dashou obviously didn't see it that way, not only did he spend all his pension money in this expedition company, bought one percent of the dry shares, but also pulled many people from the ancestral family on this ship.

When they got on the ship, they did not run for all kinds of idle duties, but bought ships one after another, hired people, bought goods, and planned to go south.

Such a move, not only Wu Sangui did not understand, but also many people in the ancestral family did not understand. In their opinion, although because of the stain of surrendering to the Qing army, after the Guanning army was disbanded, they were very low-key and did not bubble, and they withdrew from the army one after another. But if you want to retire, there is really no need to go to the dangerous overseas, and it is the right thing to buy land in the customs.

"Shopkeeper, I also have the share capital of the expeditionary company, don't I? Although we exhausted our wealth to buy 10% of the share capital, I think it is enough. This is a good cause for the Holy Sight, can I miss it? Besides, the eldest husband must not be without power for a day. Power is not used for prestige, it is for one's own life's work. Once upon a time, my grandfather's career was in the military. For now, things in the army are over. This overseas expansion is the cause of my ancestors' birthday. Is this kind of business-building something that can be achieved by sleeping on a bed? Zu Dashou said, his face blooming with infinite vitality again. It is as if dead trees are spring, and old trees are growing branches.

"Buying land in Kannai is also a career." Wu Sangui didn't understand.

"So, you should be a soldier, not a businessman like your father did. I'll tell you the truth, in fact, your father also bought a dry stake in the expedition company this time, but he didn't have much money. Zu Dashou paused, and said: "Buying land and land, that's what the old man has nowhere to spend his money." What's more, in recent years, the war has been tragic and the people have withered. Where is the good business of buying land and land? Perhaps for thousands of years, the experience of the ancestors was right. But now, I'm afraid not. ”

It's like the cycle of chaos.

After the troubled times, because the population died, the country tended to calm again. As a result, the contradiction between man and land has been alleviated, especially in northern China, where many prefectures and counties are large areas of terra nullius. In this case, it is cheap to buy a field, but how to farm it after buying?

If you want to find tenants, it is difficult.

Because the imperial court not only exempted the war-torn areas from the land tax, but also directly redistributed those borderless lands to the displaced people. These people are the source of tax revenue in the future, and the imperial court, which has greatly improved its grassroots governance ability, will certainly not miss it.

In this way, it is not easy to find tenant farmers.

What's more, workshops have sprung up all over the country. Working in the workshop is more profitable than farming. As a result, it is even more difficult to find displaced people to work as tenant farmers in various places.

If you think about it carefully, it is not cost-effective to buy a land and buy a land.

"Again...... Going overseas to expand territory is much more comfortable than at home. If the fields in China can be heirlooms, can't they be overseas? One hundred taels of silver, it is difficult to buy 100 acres of water to irrigate the land in China, but it can be put overseas and reclaimed thousands of acres, that is, the generation is ours. More ...... Courtyard wall, set up a trilogy, how not to compare with the domestic leisure? Then attack the local natives, ask for slaves, and circle the fields...... Hum...... That's the business. Zu Dashou said, his eyebrows fluttering.

Looking at the look on Zu Dashou's face, although Wu Sangui was still a little disappreciative in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel moved.

At least, Zu Dashou felt the meaning of his life here.

Especially when he heard the courtyard wall and the song, Wu Sangui faintly understood Zu Dashou's intentions. Indeed, instead of competing with others at home, why not explore overseas?

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui no longer insisted, and bowed: "Nephew, here I wish my uncle a triumphant return." ”

Zu Dashou laughed and turned to board the ship.

……

"Pro-conscription...... ......"Zhu Cihong sat in the carriage back to the palace, muttering to himself, his thoughts drifting farther and farther away.

He couldn't help but think of the words he had said before when he was chatting with the queen in the Six Arts Curie.

In the palace, I really stayed for too long.

Thoughts drifted by, and when the carriage and horses returned to the palace, Zhu Cihong woke up again and came back from his thoughts.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It's time to face busy government affairs again.

That's right, Li Banghua is preparing a bunch of things to talk to Zhu Cihong.

"Holy Lord, this is the order I prepared to return Liao, and please take a look at it." Li Banghua took an official letter and handed it to Zhu Cihong.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he cheered up and looked at it carefully.

The return of the Liao order is what Li Banghua said before, and the land in Liaodong will be divided in advance as a reward plan. Of course, this is only the first step, and in the end, the whole picture of this plan is to recover Liaodong.

It is certainly a national policy to expand the territory.

Overseas colonization is also a long-term strategy for the future.

But in this strategy, the most important thing at the moment is obviously to recover Liaodong and launch an all-out war against the Qing Dynasty.

"Liaoxi has been preparing for a year, and Lushunkou in southern Liaoning has also held on. After the lessons of the Tumut Department and the Ordos Department, Monan Mongolia trembled in the face of Li Dingguo's troops stationed on the Hetao, and there was already a tendency to re-submit to the Ming Dynasty. Now, it's time to reclaim Liaodong. And this opportunity, the preparation of the minister, is to return to Liao in three years! It was Yang Wenyue who spoke.

The military part of the Liao Order was apparently the work of the Privy Council.

Speaking of the three-year resumption of Liao, Zhu Cihong's heart suddenly became hot.

But he also reacted quickly and remembered Yuan Chonghuan.

"The Qing family doesn't want to learn from Yuan Chonghuan. I have patience. Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

If Yuan Chonghuan is mentioned at another time, then I am afraid that the atmosphere will be heavy all of a sudden.

But at this moment, when Yuan Chonghuan was mentioned, Yang Wenyue and Li Banghua laughed easily.

In the Chongzhen era, it was the characterization of Yuan Chonghuan's betrayal. But Zhu Cihong doesn't see it that way, Yuan Chonghuan certainly has a problem. But there is no problem above righteousness.

Speaking of Yuan Chonghuan at this moment, in fact, Yuan Chonghuan proposed a five-year recovery for the heart of Emperor An Chongzhen. And now, Li Banghua and Yang Wenyue are more radical in their absence, and they directly proposed a three-year resumption of Liao. It's two years less than Yuan Chonghuan. (To be continued.) )
