Chapter 042: A Hope
@@@
This dangerous experience shocked Li Xiangjun a lot, and she had heard a lot of news about the war in the Central Plains before, but at that time it was more like listening to a distant legend, and this experience made her really understand what the troubled times are.
Looking back suddenly, the wind and snow on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the past, drunk and golden, there are only two poems that can be described: the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river.
Although she is a weak woman, she has a chivalrous heart, and she never wants to return to Qinhuai, the place where she is drunk and gold-obsessed, and her mood to go to Huichang is becoming more and more urgent.
At this moment, she seems to have sunk in a sea of suffering, Qin Mu is not only talented and beautiful, but also has been regarded by her as the only way to her ideal shijie and a better life.
If it was said that leaving Jinling City was impulsive, then now, nothing can shake her determination.
Shopkeeper Xu recounted, the goods have lost a lot, this is still second, the key is the accompanying personnel, nearly half of the dead and wounded, it can be said that there is a lot of grief.
The shopkeeper Xu had to take the order to return to Dongzhi County, and there was another road from Dongzhi County to Ganzhou through Jingdezhen. But this road to Ganzhou is dangerous and dangerous, and it is barely possible to walk empty, and their car is full of goods, so it will be very difficult to walk. And the road is not calm either.
Jiangxi's mountains are narrow and densely populated, and the Ming generation was originally more serious in terms of bandits, not to mention these years, there are many mountain bandits, and now the caravan guards have lost most of them, how to go?
Xu shopkeeper and his entourage were in a dilemma, staying in Dongzhi County for several days, anxious like ants on a hot pot, fortunately, a few days later, a good news came from the direction of Jiujiang, Zuo Liangyu was forced by the pressure of the imperial court, ready to attack Zhang Xianzhong who was entrenched in Wuchang along the river.
Hearing the news, the shopkeeper Xu was overjoyed and decided to wait in Dongzhi County, and after Zuo Liangyu's army left, he still went back to Ganzhou via Jiujiang and Nanchang.
In such a world, Li Xiang's monarch and servants did not dare to act alone, so they had to wait together in Dongzhi County.

Qin Mu lived up to expectations and finally succeeded in appeasing Ma Yongzhen.
It is said that he coerced the power of the great victory, regained his affection, understood the reason, and released three stinky farts to make Ma Yongzhen soft and honestly accept Zhao'an.
What is the specific content of those three stinky farts, and the idlers don't know, but they only vaguely guess that they are extraordinary. Anyway, Ma Yongzhen was smoked by these three stinky farts, and immediately bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow, and accepted the position of a thousand households in Huichang.
Not to mention Qin Mu's smooth return and what kind of hospitality he received, he had no intention of staying in Ganzhou for a long time, Huo Sheng lived up to his trust and took Huichang down, and now he just wants to go to his own territory as soon as possible and manage his one-acre three-point field.
Huichang is a good place! Located at the intersection of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, at the southern foot of Wuyi Mountain, it is a good place to "fly into the sky, and the giant wings cover the south of the Yangtze River". And according to our Taizu, it is: the scenery here is unique.
Moreover, today's Huichang, in addition to his county, the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant, and even the small officials have run out, very good, very good, in the future, Huichang County will be renamed "Yiyantang"!
On the day he came back, he instructed Qiao'er to pack up his salute and prepare to go to Huichang, but in fact, there was nothing to pack, just a few sets of clothes, Qin Dazhi County can be described as a breeze with two sleeves!
Where could Yang Tinglin just let him go, and hurried to the east side of the bedroom where Qin Mu lived.
"Qin Xian, how much is the total amount of Xinfeng's seizures? There are still tens of thousands of refugees in Ganzhou City who are waiting to be fed, and the people in several prefectures and counties affected by the exile are also in urgent need of relief, at least the people must have a living food to support them. ”
"Xinfeng seized how much grain he seized, he was anxious to return to Ganzhou, and the little nephew didn't have time to count it in detail, Uncle Yang sent someone over as soon as possible, and all of it was transported back to the warehouse, what is the situation in Huichang now, the little nephew is still unknown, presumably the people of Huichang are also in urgent need of relief, Uncle Yang don't forget to allocate some money and food to the little nephew."
What Qin Mu let Huo Sheng transport away was mainly a part of the valuable gold and silver treasures, and most of the rest were captured, he didn't mean to swallow them all, he didn't want to immediately pull the flag and rebel.
And the people of Ganzhou states and counties are really in urgent need of relief, if they can't let the people of nearby states and counties survive and develop production, even if they make Huichang like a paradise, just a county land, how much development can it support in the future?
"Do you still need to say this, the old man is the prefect of Ganzhou, and he will treat the people of the prefecture and county under his rule equally."
Qin Mu unconsciously touched the spring green bean in his jaw, okay, the liver fire has been a little strong recently, this bean is still young in order to swear that he is still young, and he stubbornly and unyieldingly sticks to the square inch under his jaw.
Yang Tinglin saw that he was entangled in a bean and was silent, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, glared at him and said: "The rebellion is quelled, but my Ganzhou is still struggling, and everything needs to be done, just how to appease the victims in these counties, so that they have the confidence to persevere through the current difficulties, so that they will not take risks again, and fall into the grass, this is a big problem, just relying on the power of Ganzhou to help is far from enough;
But now the imperial court is also unhappy, expecting the imperial court to allocate money and grain, I am afraid that it will not work, the official is derelict in his duties, resulting in this chaos in Ganzhou, and he has no shame to reach out to the court at this time to ask for money and food! Now only by relying on our collective wisdom and efforts to find a way to overcome this difficulty, what is the strategy for Yang Xian's nephew to calm the people, please come to me. ”
Qin Mu smiled secretly, why is it shameless to reach out to the court to ask for money and food, Yang Tinglin clearly knows that he can't reach out, Chongzhen went to the house of the powerful to beg, and he didn't get a few boys, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have successively claimed the king, and they have become a tiger in the state of a dragon, where does Chongzhen still have the ability to take care of the poor mountains and bad waters in southern Gansu!
"Uncle Yang is very worried, relying on Ganzhou itself, it is indeed difficult to make all the refugees eat and dress warmly, in order to avoid them taking risks again, in addition to applying to the imperial court for tax reductions and exemptions, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the food problem, the little nephew means to vigorously promote sweet potato planting, sweet potatoes have strong adaptability, hilltop slopes, front and back of the house may be planted, the growth cycle is short, the yield is high, the harvest can top half a year's grain, as long as a large number of planting, the people of Ganzhou will soon be able to solve the problem of hunger."
"Promote sweet potato planting, this old man also thought of this, but even if the sweet potato growth cycle is shorter, it will take at least two months to harvest, and what to do in these two months is the most headache;
Ganzhou has a lot of minerals, the old man has reported to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to allow the lease of part of the mines, in order to raise money to buy grain from the surrounding provinces, it is difficult to say whether the imperial court approves it or not, even if it is approved, I am afraid that it will not be a matter of a while, do not hide Qin Xian's nephew, the old man is worried about this day and night, and finally feels that it is difficult to save the fire from far away, and it is really sad that the old man is also sad. ”
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Apart from giving the refugees affected by the disaster a hope, the little nephew has no other way to think about it. ”
"Hope? What hope? ”
"Land."
"Land?"
"Yes, land is undoubtedly the greatest hope for the common people! With hope, no matter how difficult life is, the people can often survive it, and they will not take risks and fall into the grass;
The resilience of our Chinese people is unparalleled, and for thousands of years, they have suffered countless heavy sufferings, but they have been able to stand up again and again, relying on this resilience. As long as we give the people a hope now, the little nephew believes that they will be able to survive, and they will definitely be able to. ”
Qin Mu's tone is extremely firm, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can be rejuvenated again and again, this is already a thing that history has proven, as a member of this nation, Qin Mu is proud of it.
Although this nation also has such and such shortcomings, it has been able to stand on the top of Shijie for thousands of years, re-establishing itself from great difficulties and rebuilding from pieces of ruins, which has never been done by any nation, as a member of this nation, what reason not to be proud of?
