  Chapter 309 307 [Gu Yanwu]

   "Kill his whole family, blood debt!"

   "Chasing the house, raiding the house!"

  In the middle of the night, Mao Qiling sat up abruptly, breaking out in a cold sweat all over his body.

  In three days, he watched two public trial meetings and three complaint meetings.

  There was a public trial, angry house slaves rushed onto the stage, and countless tenants responded. Due to the insufficient number of Datong soldiers, using a group of civilians to maintain order could not stop the angry people at all. Seven were killed on the spot, twelve were injured, and one gentry was even devoured.

  Mao Qiling had never seen such a scene, and had nightmares for several nights in a row, always feeling that his family was about to be put on public trial.

  If he hadn't led the crowd to sacrifice the city, the Mao family would have been put on trial. Honorable!

   Early morning.

   Mao Qiling went out with dark circles under his eyes, only to see two personal guards guarding the door.

   "Mr. Mao, hurry up and eat, there is another one today." A personal guard said.

  Another one?

  Mao Qiling's legs were weak, and he begged: "Brother, can you report to the general town and say that I have accepted it and am willing to be an official to help divide the land."

   "Okay." Qin Wei smiled.

  Those who take the initiative to serve or revolt, as long as they can read and write, they can directly work as officials, but they cannot work in the county. Illiterate people can go to the county to work as soap officials to restore order in the county as soon as possible.

  If the locals are not used, how can the officials brought by Zhao Han be enough?

  A few days later, Mao Qiling was thrown to Lin'an County as an official. This bully's mouth has temporarily become much more well-behaved, and it is estimated that he will not dare to speak nonsense within half a year.

  Changing cannot be changed, and one day the old ways will definitely recur.

   As for Qian Qianyi.

   "My lord, there is a scholar handing over the greeting card." The house slave came in to report.

   "No see!" Qian Qianyi said.

   This guy is very good at making money, and he doesn't easily offend people. During the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Ruan Dacheng co-operated with Fushe, and he could not offend anyone, and went to bribe villains to seek high positions.

   After observing the situation, Qian Qianyi has figured out Zhao Han's way.

  He, Qian Muzhai, will be a stern and selfless minister in the future!

  Qian Qianyi's body bones are very soft, and can be completely transformed into another shape according to the needs of those in power.

Qian Qianyi took out an employment contract, called the two domestic slaves, and bowed his hands to the west, "Theory of Gewei" in the general town is the most reasonable in the world. In terms of personality, everyone lives And equality, there is no distinction between good and bad. You two have been with me for many years, and now you are free. This is a three-year employment contract, if you want, you can sign it."

   "Don't dare, you are born as a man of the master, and you will die as the ghost of the master." The two house slaves immediately knelt down.

  Qian Qianyi made a sullen look: "Get up quickly, kneel down at every turn, what's the proper way? The new dynasty should have the appearance of the new dynasty, and no kneeling is allowed in the future!"

"yes."

   The two house slaves stood up and signed the employment contract, both of them were very happy in their hearts.

   "Go." Qian Qianyi waved his hand.

  Wait for the two domestic slaves...the servants leave, Qian Qianyi picks up the brush and starts writing articles praising the distribution of land and the release of slaves.

   This guy is indeed knowledgeable, with various quotations from scriptures, not only explaining the rationality of dividing land and releasing slaves, but also praising Zhao Han as the eternal sage.

  After finishing writing the article and polishing it again, Qian Qianyi immediately begged to see Zhao Han.

  When he saw Zhao Han, Qian Qianyi didn't look like he was following others. With his head held high and his chest held high, he strode forward in a graceful manner, bowing his hands in a very chic way: "The general manager has a great appearance, and this old man has recently expressed his feelings, so he wrote an essay overnight. Dividing the land and releasing the slaves is indeed a kind of benevolent government that has never existed in the past." This policy must be implemented in the world as soon as possible, so that hundreds of millions of people can be relieved from the sea of ​​suffering, and from then on, the world will be unified and peace will be established forever."

   Zhao Han took the article and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "The literary talent is brilliant, it is really a good article." He recruited a secretary and ordered, "Such a magnificent article, copy it a lot, and post a copy at the gate of every county school."

   Qian Qianyi, a famous Confucian, has automatically changed into the shape of Zhao Han.

  Except for Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu's side divisions, the rest of the dispersed troops have come back to assemble one after another.

   Zhao Han led 2,500 regular soldiers, 1,000 peasant soldiers, and 3,000 civilian husbands, and formally entered the southern Zhili territory.

  Songjiang, Shanghai, Jiading, Kunshan, Wujiang, Suzhou, Yixing...all look forward to returning, because these prefectures and counties have no soldiers, and officers and soldiers from various places in Nanzhili have long been deployed to defend Wuhu, Dangtu and Nanjing.

   "General Town, this is the list of celebrities in Songjiang and Suzhou." Qian Qianyi was conscientious and rushed to do everything.

  Zhao Han browsed the list carefully, and suddenly said: "Bring Gu Ningren (Gu Yanwu) here to meet you."

  Qian Qianyi was a little surprised that Zhao Han only summoned the "weird man" Gu Yanwu by name with so many famous people in the second residence of Su Song.

  Gu Yanwu is twenty-seven this year, his family is in decline, and he cannot make ends meet. Over the years, he has sold 800 mu of land.

  His family has thousands of acres of land left, but he really has no money. Once the land is divided, the days to come will be even more difficult, and they will definitely not be able to raise a large number of domestic slaves.

  Being summoned by Zhao Han, Gu Yanwu was very puzzled, he is a famous weirdo in Suzhou, how could he be favored so much?

His mother, Wang, was only in her thirties, with a dignified appearance. She warned her son, "I have also read "The Collection of Datong", and it is also a book about managing the world and helping the people. I knew that Zhao Zongzhen would send troops, and I sold another 3,000 acres last year. Land, the money in the family is enough to support the expenses. The rest of the land, let’s divide it up. Zhao Zongzhen is a British lord, you should be a good assistant. Loyal to the king or loyal to the world, such a simple truth, I don’t need to repeat it. If you don’t understand, all these years of studying will be in vain.”

   "My child, remember mother's teaching!" Gu Yanwu hastily bowed.

   Wang said: "Go, don't miss home."

  Gu Yanwu hesitantly said: "Mother...Youth is not gone, Zhao Zongzhen encourages women to remarry, mother why not find another good man to marry."

   Wang blushed and spat: "There is no need to mention this matter again."

  Mother and son, the age difference is less than ten years old, of course they cannot be biological.

  The Wang family is still a virgin, and her husband died before paying homage to him. Gu Yanwu is the stepson of the family.

  Ms. Wang is a talented woman, unmarried and chaste, raising an heir. She weaves during the day and insists on reading at night. She is proficient in all classics and history collections, and Gu Yanwu is also taught by her.

  Gu Yanwu bent down and bowed: "Mother, please consider remarrying. Even if you remarry, the child will respect and respect you. Resign, child!"

  The son left, Wang sighed.

  Why doesn't she want to remarry and enjoy the happiness of husband and wife harmony, but it's a pity that she has been bound by etiquette. Now, it can indeed be considered. The mother who can teach the "weird" Gu Yanwu is not a pedantic woman.

  Historically, Wang died of a hunger strike, and his last words were very simple: Gu Yanwu is not allowed to serve as an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

  Gu Yanwu’s two younger brothers also sacrificed their lives against the Qing Dynasty. The birth mother's right arm was cut off by the Qing army, and several good friends either died or went to the mountains to become monks.

  Gu Yanwu came to Suzhou by boat and was summoned immediately after reporting.

   "Meet Mr. Zhao!"

"sit down."

  Zhao Han looked at this gentleman with a smile, and asked, "What have you been doing recently?"

   Gu Yanwu replied: "Collecting documents and historical materials, I am preparing to write a book."

   "What book did you write?" Zhao Han asked.

  Gu Yanwu replied: ""The Book of the World's Commanderies, National Benefits and Diseases", generally discusses the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, records and reviews the mountains, rivers and land of each province, and its taxation, settlement, horse administration, military affairs, water conservancy, water transportation, etc.."

   is the political geography of Ming Dynasty.

"This is a good thing," Zhao Han praised, "You don't have to write for Daming, and you are specially appointed as the secretary of Jiangxi General Military Mansion. Go to Jiangxi immediately, and write all Jiangxi's mountains and rivers, geography, taxation, water conservancy, and industry and commerce into "Tianxia County" National Benefits and Diseases Book. Combining the administration of Ming Dynasty and the administration of Datong, comment on the pros and cons. After Jiangxi is finished, Guangdong and Hunan will be written. I will give you a sign, and the governments of all places must cooperate. You can consult official documents at will, and even consult Official documents from various local governments. Don’t flatter me, if you find that my policy is wrong, you can write it out as it is.”

   "I will not disgrace my life!"

  Gu Yanwu is very happy. With official support, the writing speed can be increased several times.

  At the same time, Gu Yanwu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Zongzhen Zhao really has a heart, and specially asked him to point out Jiangxi's governance mistakes.

  Gu Yanwu suddenly said: "Please issue an order from the chief town, so that widows in the south of the Yangtze River who have no children must choose a husband and remarry within half a year."

   "Oh, why?" Zhao Han laughed.

Gu Yanwu explained: "My stepmother has been single and widowed since she was sixteen years old, and she has endured hardships for more than ten years. From my point of view, if there are children under her knees, it is really inconvenient for a widow to remarry. But if there are no children, or even unmarried, then why Can’t you remarry? It’s the law of heaven for a man to marry a woman; it’s the law for a widow to keep the chastity. If the human relationship deviates from the law of heaven, then you should act according to the law of heaven.”

  Zhao Han nodded approvingly: "This is a good statement. Once the land is divided and the slaves are released, the 'widow's remarriage order' will be issued. Widows without children must remarry; widows with children can make their own decisions, and no one else can interfere."

   "The general town is wise!"

  Gu Yanwu felt that this was a wise man, and he nodded in agreement to such an outrageous suggestion.

  Gu Yanwu said: "General Town, I have a good friend who is knowledgeable and virtuous. Please recruit him."

   "Who is it?" Zhao Han asked.

  Gu Yanwu said: "Gui Zhuang, the word is Er Li. The villagers joked that Gu Guai returns to Qi. I am Gu Guai, and he is Gui Qi."

   "Then invite someone to do something." Zhao Han nodded in agreement.

  Return to the village, to the grandson of Youguang. In history, the city magistrate was killed in Kunshan, the city was destroyed, his father, brother and sister-in-law all died, and more than 40,000 people were massacred in the city. Guizhuang escaped by chance, shaved his hair and became a monk, changing his name to "Zuo Ming".

  Gu Yanwu's name was also changed at that time, "Yan" represents Han orthodoxy.

  Gu Yanwu led the way to Jiangxi. On the second day, Zhao Han received the military report.

  Fei Ruhe has conquered Wuhu, and is surrounding Dangtu, which is Taiping Mansion.

  Taiping Prefecture has nearly 10,000 defenders, the city is tall and deep, and the magistrate has a high prestige. Repeated surrenders cannot shake the morale of the officers and soldiers.

  Fei Ruhe decided to attack Nanjing directly. Maybe Nanjing is easier to conquer than Taiping Mansion, because Nanjing has a lot of messy officials. There are also various Fushe scholars and Datong scholars, the two sides have been linked together, and Huizhou merchants in Nanjing are also willing to cooperate with the city.
