"Huang Si's mother's house is full of flowers."
"Thousands of flowers weigh down the branches."
"The butterflies dance all the time."
"Thousands of flowers weigh down the branches."
Because Emperor Zhu Youxiao required that social schools such as Huangzhuang, Tianjin, and Qufu, which he could directly control, should not only educate children to be loyal to the king and the country, but also teach other poems and songs in order to cultivate children. The spirituality of the nation.
Therefore, when Xu Guangqi left Tianjin and passed by a social school, he heard the sound of some children reading poetry.
Looking at the busy people in uniform uniforms in the workshops in the distance, and listening to the sound of children reading poetry under the tiled roofs of the newly built social school, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but think of the scenes of desolation and decay he saw when he passed by this area in Beijing many years ago. , which made him unable to hide his smile, who originally wanted to be serious, but also a little nostalgic for the peace and tranquility here.
Therefore, when he saw the dazzling array of local products in front of the street vendors, he, who had always been unwilling to spend money, asked his servant to buy a lot. He thought to himself: "I can show it to Your Majesty when I meet the Holy Spirit in the future." Look, these new gadgets I bought in Tianjin, I just don’t know if this is considered to make the emperor lose his ambition with playthings?”
…
"My daughter was forcibly abducted by the second master of the Kong family, but I have already told you that my daughter has been promised to someone else, but the second master still refuses and even broke my legs. The child's mother was also beaten to pieces. I was so angry that I couldn't find a piece of land to bury the child. The land belonged to the Confucius family. I could only find a straw mat and wrap it up and quietly bury it in the sand. But I just buried the child and her mother. Not long after, the second master's They just asked me to collect my daughter’s body. This Mr. Kong Er is really not a human being. He owes my family two lives, woo hoo!"
"My family originally had seventeen acres of farmland and lived a good life. But one day, the eldest son of the Kong family looked at a stream of running water next to my farmland and said that he wanted to build a garden. He asked my family to move and said that he wanted to get some water. I was given the same field in exchange, but what I got in exchange was 17 acres of land soaked in salt water. I couldn't grow anything. I refused to obey and went to argue, but I was beaten out and my house was confiscated. What a fate for me. It’s bitter!”
Qufu.
The tenants of Yuanyan Shenggong's Confucius Mansion were complaining one by one. Under the encouragement of Zhang Tongchang and other instructors, they told their history of blood and tears line by line.
Not to mention the local tenants of the Kong family who had the same experience and became increasingly angry as they listened. Even the officers and soldiers of the 3,000th General Infantry Guards Battalion stationed here wanted to curse.
When Chen Xin heard the excitement, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "Damn it, the Kong family really deserves to be exterminated by the imperial court. I asked myself that I was a promiscuous playboy before, but the most I could do was tease the girls in the brothel. , even if you really sleep, you will be rewarded with some money, damn, I have never seen such a bad guy, robbing a girl and killing her! No wonder after the Hulu, if he is the descendant of a saint, how can he be such a beast! "
"That's right, I have never been so messy in Datong. I still have to take care of it. The Qufu Pseudo-Kong clan really didn't care about anything here before, as if this was their lawless land! They deserved to be exterminated! Now look at it Come, let us eliminate harm for the people!"
Guo Mu also echoed.
"Okay! Folks, you don't have to cry anymore. Wipe your tears and forget your sorrow. Now your good days have come. Because the pseudo-Confucian government has done many evil things, the emperor has sent us to get rid of them. Then, you will become For the Huangzhuang households under the direct management of the Emperor, all the fields of the Kong family will be allocated to you. From now on, the rent will be reduced to the same amount as that of Huangzhuang. Except that you cannot sell the fields to others and can pass them on to your descendants. You can Keep planting, and no one can take over your fields. If anyone takes over, including us Yulin Guards, you can all go to the capital to complain to the emperor."
A training officer of the Guards Battalion calmed down several Kong family tenants after they complained and announced the imperial edict.
Although the instructor's statement that they could go to Beijing to complain to the emperor was not very realistic, what he said above did make the tenants of the Kong family even more excited after hearing it, especially the content of dividing their fields and reducing their rent.
For a moment, all these people knelt down and kowtowed gratefully to the instructor: "Thank you, sir! Thank you so much, sir!"
"There is no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the Emperor."
The training officer said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
The tenants of the Kong family thanked the emperor one after another.
"Mr. Ge, this is the current situation that our Yulin Guards in Qufu are organizing the tenants of the Kong family to complain about. These tenants have already understood that the Kong family deserved to be exterminated, and no longer think that the imperial court came to exterminate Kong to harm them. Now the entire Most of the tenant farmers in Qufu have been reclassified as Huangzhuang households and have been allocated many fields. In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, the general has recruited these young men for training on the grounds of protecting the Emperor's Huangzhuang. They will be able to serve as Yulin guards in the future. Good source of troops.”
Zhang Tongchang reported to Xu Guangqi after he arrived in Qufu and saw the tenants of the Kong family complaining.
Xu Guangqi nodded after hearing this.
At the same time, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but slandered: "From Tianjin to now Qufu, His Majesty's method of letting the court take the initiative to educate the people, let the people complain about their grievances, and then publicize the principles of loyalty and filial piety is better than simply issuing an empty edict. The article is more effective. These so-called cunning and unscrupulous people in the mouth of the former gentry are more grateful for the emperor's kindness than many scholars. If this continues, internal troubles will arise!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Qufu Qingzhuang was being trained in the most basic spear assassination and chopping skills by the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards in an open space.
Xu Guangqi also happened to see this scene and couldn't help but smile again.
What made him even more happy was that the next moment he saw officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard fetching water and cleaning the yard of an old lady's family.
Although Xu Guangqi knew that His Majesty the Emperor had ordered Zhang Tongchang to try to conduct an experiment on the relationship between soldiers and civilians in Qufu, but at this moment when he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he could not help but sigh: "After all, His Majesty is a wise man! This is Master Wang. !”
The newly built Tianjin City is the cradle of Zhu Youxiao's pilot industrialization.
A large number of manufacturing-related factories and workshops are concentrated in Tianjin, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have become new residents of Tianjin by working as workers, thus escaping the fate of being displaced.
But because it was civil servants who implemented the emperor's decisions in Tianjin, the reading atmosphere in Tianjin was even stronger.
Qufu is now regarded as a pilot site for Zhu Youxiao's land reform.
The original tenants of the Kong family became yeoman farmers who directly belonged to the emperor, and because of the temporary military control of the Guards Battalion, it had a more militarized management compared to Tianjin, and was experimenting with a new type of military-civilian relations.
But whether it is Tianjin or now Qufu, Xu Guangqi likes it very much. He is also reflecting on why Songjiang, a town with so many weaving workshops and cotton yarn workshops, is not like Tianjin where all the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but there are still The bones in the Zhumen's wine-meat-stinky roads are frozen to death, but why does Jinshanwei near my hometown still not have such a harmonious picture of the military and civilians getting along? A large number of military households have deserted their duties, the fields are deserted, and the officers and servants are like bandits and often disturb nearby farmers. .
As an official with political ambitions, after Xu Guangqi inspected Tianjin and Qufu, he began to feel more sincerely in his heart that his Majesty the Emperor seemed to have a great wisdom that he had not yet understood. He felt that he had figured it out, but he seemed to Didn't understand.
But there is no doubt that Xu Guangqi now has an even greater sense of respect for Zhu Youxiao, and he can't wait to return to Beijing immediately to meet the emperor and tell His Majesty the emperor the great changes he has brought to Tianjin and Qufu, but he can't go back now, so , he could only impatiently write down his statement to the emperor in the memorial. Although what he wrote in the memorial at this time seemed to others that he was trying his best to please and flatter the emperor, but only he himself Know that every sentence he writes at this moment is sincere.
