Wu Sultan and Zhao Laojiu never imagined that while everyone was waiting for King Kong to hand out the money, the Qingzhou Guards would surround the courtyard.
Before the money is in hand, the person is already in prison. The conductor Yuan Xiu and the prefect Guo Lian knelt in the yard, secretly worried.
There are so many White Lotus cultists in the house, and the prefect and commander Shi usually don't notice them at all. If they are derelict in their duties, they will not be able to escape. In serious cases, they may even lose their hats and lose their heads.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Lian, Yuan Xiu and others, raised his hand and said: "Many of the White Lotus sect are deceived people, and some are money-grubbing gangsters. The government should teach them a lesson and make them correct their evil ways. Give them land and take back their photos." Stay with me for five years and let them live and work in the countryside." Guo Lian was shocked when he saw the kind-hearted Zhu Yunwen. The emperor's duty to the White Lotus Sect was to eliminate all evil and kill them all, beheading hundreds of people at a time. It's still fresh in my mind, how can I be kind today?
Zhu Yunwen is not the Holy Mother, but these people don't even look down on Yang Wushan. They have separated from the core of the White Lotus Sect and are just a few stragglers. What's more, they have little power in their hands. They can't even understand the doctrines they propagandize, and they have degenerated into hooligans. , there is really no need to kill people.
Of course, the culprits Wu Sloppy and Zhao Laojiu still need to stay in the Security Bureau branch. The specific length of stay depends on the content and speed of their explanations.
When Guo Lian saw that Zhu Yunwen urged him to be diligent and caring for the people, and asked him to do everything possible to develop Qingzhou Prefecture, he put forward his own ideas: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Laizhou Prefecture petitioned to reopen the Jiaolai Canal, but the court rejected it. I thought, Reopening the Jiaolai Canal is not only beneficial to Laizhou Prefecture, but also to Qingzhou Prefecture, and is also beneficial to shipping. Please ask the court to reconsider." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and then he realized that the memorial from the Laizhou Prefect must be sent to The capital was rejected by Prince Zhu Wenkui.
"Reopening the Jiao Lai Canal is not a trivial matter, nor is it your Qingzhou prefect's business." Zhu Yunwen reminded.
Guo Lian knew that the Jiaolai Canal was mainly located in Jiaozhou Prefecture, but he still insisted: "The opening of the Huitong River will bring goods to the north and south, which will be beneficial to the world. The opening of the Jiaolai Canal will bring shipping to the north and south, and it will also be beneficial to the world. What I am thinking is for The imperial court's consideration is definitely not limited to one prefecture or one place." After saying that, Guo Lian took out a map from his arms and said solemnly: "I also heard that the Laizhou prefecture is working with officials from the Ministry of Industry to conduct surveys and has formed a preliminary strategy. I hope to report it again. Please ask the court. If it is beneficial to Baidai, we can do it." Zhu Yunwen opened the map and looked at the Jiaolai Canal silently.
The Jiaolai Canal starts from Lingshan Haikou of the East China Sea in the south, where Qindao is located, and reaches Sanshan Island in the Bohai Sea in the north. Outside is Laizhou Bay. It runs three hundred miles from south to north, runs through Shandong, and connects the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea.
The Jiaolai Canal was created from the time of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty to the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. It was also known as the grain transportation river in history. It was named because grains from the south of the Yangtze River were transported to the capital. It was an important channel for shipping grains in the early Yuan Dynasty.
However, due to the dishonesty of the Yellow River and tidal intrusion and other problems, the Jiaolai Canal was blocked in the late Yuan Dynasty and the canal was no longer smooth.
Since then, shipping materials can no longer take the Jiaolai Canal, a convenient and safe river. They can only go east along the Shandong Peninsula, detour more than a thousand miles by sea, and then go north.
It’s only three hundred miles by canal. It's no less than a thousand miles by sea. The Yuan Dynasty faced this problem, and the Ming Dynasty also faced the same problem.
In fact, when establishing the capital in the north, the development of maritime transport cannot but mention the Jiaolai Canal. Zhu Yunwen looked at the map of the Jiaolai Canal and knew that opening the Jiaolai Canal was not a difficult task for the Ming Dynasty. It only required human, material and financial resources. As long as the people were paid and management was based on performance, opening the Jiaolai Canal was not a difficult task.
But the problem is that the follow-up management of the Jiaolai Canal cannot be solved. Unlike the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is connected to a river, it is inland and there is no problem of seawater intrusion.
"When the tide comes, the sand remains the same" happened more than once in the Jiaolai Canal. It cost a lot to open the canal, but before enjoying the dividends, it was suddenly buried. It was a loss... Another question, the court meeting passed When it came to the river, it took a long time to find enough water sources. It was Bai Ying, Song Li and others who connected lakes in various places to form the final plan.
As for the Jiao Lai Canal, there is a congenital deficiency in the amount of water here. It is easy to open the canal, but without enough water, it is impossible for sea ships to pass through here. It cannot be converted into a river boat here and then go to Jiaozhou Bay. Can we move it to a sea ship and continue transporting it?
Zhu Yunwen expressed his worries, handed the map to Guo Lian, and sighed: "The Jiaolai Canal is easy to open, but difficult to operate. In addition, shipping vessels and technology have gradually matured, so let's put it on hold for now. If you can solve the problems, we will report it." "Guo Lian was helpless, and Zhu Yunwen's worries were not unreasonable.
Zhu Yunwen was generally satisfied with Guo Lian's governance. At least the people of Qingzhou Prefecture lived and worked in peace and contentment, and agriculture was prosperous. After some instructions, he took Tang Sai'er and others to leave Qingzhou City and go to Putai County, Jinan Prefecture, where Tang Sai'er hometown.
In the carriage, Zhu Yunwen brainwashed Tang Saier: "There is no Maitreya Buddha in this world. The only one who is supreme is the Emperor. Look, the world is peaceful now. People have food to eat, businessmen have things to sell, and children have books to read. These are all What the emperor gave, that is, what I gave, is not Maitreya Buddha..." Tang Saier wanted to cry, how could he be so unlucky, jumping out of a king's fire pit, and ended up falling into an emperor's fire pit, and he would only live in this life. Have you survived in the pit?
"No, the people have food because they work. The merchants have food to sell because they have goods. The children have books to read because the teacher is teaching them, not because you gave them to them."
"If I don't give the people land, how can they work? If I don't give businessmen policies, how can they do business? If I don't establish social studies, give them teachers, or give them free teaching materials, how can they afford to study? Come on, tell me. "
"I……"
"What are you talking about? You have nothing to say, right? You have to use your brain to think about everything. Don't let Maitreya Buddha come and go. There is only one person who can decide the good and bad days of people in this world, and that is the emperor, not Maitreya Buddha."
"No, Maitreya Buddha can save all sentient beings and unite people..."
"Then think about it, in this world, is it Maitreya Buddha who saves all living beings and unites the people, or is it the Emperor who saves all living beings and unites the people. Think about the bones outside Qingzhou City, is it the Emperor who harmed them, or Maitreya Buddha? Harm them?"
"I believe red light will dispel darkness."
"It rises in the east and sets in the west, and day and night alternate. This is the law of nature. As for the red light you mentioned, I do know that in a long, long time, red flags will be planted on this land. However, as far as I know, those holding red flags will Never a follower of Maitreya, but a, no, a group of great people.”
"Who is that?"
"Come on, let me tell you the story of crossing Chishui four times. One day, the black army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to hunt down the red army..."
"There really is a person in this world who can command like a god. Why have I never heard of it?"
"Haha, if you want to know, then you must learn to think. Think about who is in charge and who is at the top in this world. Think about whether the White Lotus Sect is a cult or a decent one. Is it a tool for individual rights or a tool for countless people? Savior, think clearly, I will tell you more stories, such as the story of the rabbit and the camel, the rabbit and the big bear, the rabbit and the elephant, the rabbit and the eagle sauce..." Tang Saier flashed his eyes.
Huang Huai on the side has almost plucked out his beard. The story the emperor just told is really amazing. Crossing Chishui four times is a military miracle. Even though he is a civil servant, his blood boils with excitement. There are so many stories. , but why is it never mentioned in the Art of War? Could it be that the emperor made it up? It doesn’t seem like it.
Well, what is a rabbit and what kind of ghost is Eagle Sauce? There seems to be many stories hidden in it. Huang Huai couldn't help but be curious: "What about that? Take me with you when you tell a story next time..." Zhu Yunwen chuckled and nodded.
Tang Saier lowered his head and thought for a long time before speaking: "Why don't you ask me, who is King Yang, where is he, and who are the other senior members of the White Lotus Sect?" Zhu Yunwen picked up a book and flipped through it on his lap. He said easily: "When you want to say something, you will naturally say that to me, Yang Wushan is no longer that important. If he wants to hibernate, then he should hibernate well and not make trouble. If he wants to cause trouble, then he is seeking death. . You really don’t think people from the Security Bureau are vegetarians, do you?” Tang Saier lowered his head.
Zhu Yunwen read the book and continued: "In fact, the Security Bureau has received information a long time ago. There was a fire in Fengyang Mansion, and a woman died. The Security Bureau pursued it for two months and confirmed that Bailian was there. The church's den was empty, and the heavy rain destroyed the traces. The security bureau did not find anyone. You came from Fengyang Mansion, right?" Tang Saier was a little sad. The dead woman It must be the wet nurse, that timid yet kind person.
"I don't know Yang Wushan's true face, but I know that some of the guards around him are very similar to the guards around you." Tang Saier gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly and looked at Tang Sai'er with sharp eyes: "You mean, there are sergeants around Yang Wushan?" Tang Sai'er was unsure: "The walking and standing posture are very similar to the guards around you, right? I'm not sure about my background as a sergeant." Zhu Yunwen remained silent.
Guard, sergeant, Fengyang! But it was impossible to find out Yang Wushan's identity just by relying on Tang Sai'er's words. After all, the imperial court abolished the guard post, and many soldiers retired from the guard post in old age. These people had some strength and courage, opened escort bureaus, escorted supplies, and worked as housekeepers. Nursing homes, etc. are all commonplace.
Zhu Yunwen stopped the carriage and walked out to whisper to Gu Yun. After Gu Yun accepted the order, he turned around and looked at the deserted road behind him, then looked at the forest on both sides, and whistled. Not long after, Suo Jing appeared.
In Southern Zhili, on the official road of Lishui in Yingtian Prefecture, a group of cavalry galloped on the road. Tears filled the eyes of each cavalryman. They raised their whips high and waved them violently. The horses under them accelerated towards the capital: "Nanyang urgent report, extremely urgent, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way!"
