Chapter 572.

Zhang Anshi’s words made Hu Mu think deeply.

Of course, he knew very well that His Highness, the King of Song’s words would inevitably have his reasoning.

Just where the reasoning lies remains for him to ponder.

After all, these things, in the Four Books and Five Classics, do not appear.

And nowadays, many readers like him, who once learned from the sages, are now beginning to be confused, and this is the reason.

In the beginning, the world’s readers, can be said to be lopsidedly opposed to Zhang Anshi, not necessarily all the scholars are ten evils, in fact, because in their view, what they have learned to know, really can not accept Zhang Anshi’s behavior.

After all, an idyllic society created by the gentry, much of what Zhang Anshi had to offer could be called deviant.

Only …… now the implementation of the New Deal, the world has long become completely different, in Zhili, a boatload of overseas goods into the inflow of taxes also increased greatly, many of the workshops rose, a variety of university halls such as spring out, steam locomotives Mercedes in the railroad line, workshops, you can say that belongs to the basis of the scholars, in fact, has long been is gone.

At this time, many scholars were surprised to find that the saint’s science, which should have remained unchanged throughout the ages, was no longer sufficient to explain the phenomena occurring in front of them, and that the real world, it seemed, had become completely disconnected from them.

Of course, there will be many people who are indifferent to this and still insist on their own views.

Yet there are many, many scholars who, in the midst of confusion, are forced to do some thinking.

The more they perceive, in the past, those existing knowledge can not explain the things, gradually from Zhang Anshi to find the answer, inadvertently, that under the subtle influence, there have been many people like Hu Mu, in fact, has been transformed.

A lot of times, that’s just how people are.

At first, they get caught up in self-doubt and have no choice but to learn the hard way before they start to go and slowly try to accept it.

But as long as you accept the first time, then in front of you, as if it is clear, the original can not explain things, now all of a sudden clear, once could not make sense of things, you follow Zhang Anshi’s thinking to set up, but found that it is so clear.

By this time, people like Hu Mu had become like Zhang Anshi.

The scary thing is that there is a mentality in the world called convert frenzy, and the more people who are like this, after they have gone through the confusion, after they have slowly begun to become convinced of the new field of knowledge, it is often precisely at this time that they are the most radical.

So much so, that a number of readers have begun to spend their days thinking about smashing the Confucius Temple.

Hu Mu is one of them, just his nature is a little more stable, always not to radical over the head.

So he excused himself and left, but his mind was chewing on Zhang Anshi’s words.

And Zhang Anshi obviously did not understand this strange state of mind of Hu Mu, who at this time was more looking forward to the news from the Fujian Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture.

A few days later, the East China Gate.

This is the main commercial road of Nanjing City, and this place is specially set up for chirography, thus, a large number of carriages and horses, and a steady stream of goods supplied to the capital are sent in.

A large number of merchants gathered here, and at the same time, because this place was bustling with activity, countless stores stood inside and outside the city walls.

Where there are people, there will inevitably be right and wrong, and thus, this is also almost the distribution center of news in Nanjing City.

Because there are people from the south and north of the country, everyone gathered in one place, not inevitably in the neighborhood of the tea and wine shop, while sitting idly, read the latest Di Di newspaper, exchanging some of the current news.

Naturally, compared to the news in the Di Di newspaper, certain street and alleyway discussions, naturally, are not immune to the clamor.

Speaking of the current situation, many people frowned, the world is not peaceful, inevitably worrying, coupled with the news of the rebellion around the world, more people let people worry.

At the same time, there are people who come here every day, mostly silent, but poking around to find out what’s going on.

The visitor had come from the Xia family, and was none other than the steward of the Xia Yuanji.

The Xia family has only one young master, now life and death is uncertain, although has sent people, trying to find ways to go to the Fujian Provincial Government Department to search for, but in fact, this is almost equal to the needle in the haystack.

Xia family steward anxious really no way, know here merchants and travelers, many mouths, although may not be able to probe to the accurate news, but also can not help but want to probe some Fuzhou House of the clues.

He had, in the past few days, probed for too much news, saying anything, only the more he listened, the more confused he became.

Just as he pricked up his ears, he listened to the deliberations of a few of the neighboring scholars, as well as the merchants at the next table.

At this moment, someone came up the stairs, and the steward subconsciously glanced at them, but he couldn’t help but be stunned as he subconsciously muttered under his breath, “Master.”

It’s a very soft sound.

Apparently the steward had never expected that Xia Yuanji would also be here today.

These days, the lord can be said to be teetotal, but on the bright side, he is still stubborn.

The steward had mentioned that he had come here for information, and some time ago, Natsubaki had not squeaked a response.

I just didn’t expect that today, after all, His Lordship couldn’t resist and came too.

The steward got up in a hurry and offered his seat to Natsubara Yoshi.

Master and servant, both silent.

Only the clamor from the next seat could be heard as someone said, “The rebellion has been going on for so long, why hasn’t His Highness, the King of Song, raised an army to quell the rebellion? If this goes on, something big is going to happen.”

“What nonsense, His Highness King Song has his own reasons ……”

Hearing this, Natsubara Yoshi’s face couldn’t help but tremble.

He found these people …… simply incomprehensible.

At this time, and heard them say, “I heard that …… Datong Dushi, now there are also signs of rebellion, but …… it is not good to say …… ”

“Hey, if you don’t pacify, I’m afraid I don’t know how many thieves …… sharpened their knives …… those damn thieves, causing us to worry and fear, and now the trade is also affected, the market is a lot lower than before, and everyone is afraid of ah ……”

Said said, and can not help but someone said: “Song Wangfu not a bit of movement, is rare. As a matter of fact, His Highness the King of Song is most unable to see these, could it be that His Highness the King of Song …… is sick ……”

“Sick, His Highness the King of Song is young, what kind of sickness could he have?”

“It’s …… hard to say …… old man heard some rumors ……”

“Tell us about it ……”

“I heard that ah …… His Highness the King of Song doesn’t have any vices on weekdays, only …… deep knowledge of some …… hey, it’s hard to say ……”

“You mean horny?”

“Ahem, that’s not what I said.”

“It is rumored that someone has seen His Highness, the King of Song, in a green house, of course …… it is just a saying, I said it off the top of my head, you don t believe it.”

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but prick up their ears.

Such things are so, you say that His Highness the King of Song reads the Spring and Autumn Annals every day, may not be interested, but if you say that the King of Song loves to go to the kiln, then it must be a lot of fun.

Xia Yuanji was speechless, this is a good reason to talk about the family and the world, how do you talk about this?

But I heard that person added: “I was thinking, could it be that …… His Highness the King of Song has unfortunately contracted the disease of flower and willow because of this? It is rumored …… that this is an intractable disease, and even the medical school is unable to do anything about it.”

“No way, could it be a mistake?”

“I’m just saying it off the top of my head.”

“But think carefully, it may not be impossible …… hey, poor His Highness the King of Song …… damned smoky woman, if not this smoky woman does not know cleanliness, and how will be stained with flowers and willows, if it is not stained with flowers and willows, and If it’s not a flower and willow, how could it be stained on His Highness the King of Song, and if it’s not His Highness the King of Song who is also stained, how could it be possible for this rebel to be so rampant? All said and done, throughout the dynasties, it is the women who have misled the country.”

Natsubara Yoshi’s face had darkened as he listened.

The more he heard, the more absurd he felt, so he subconsciously grew up, grimly and coldly grunted, and lifted his leg to leave.

When the steward saw this, he was busy chasing him out of the tea shop.

Xia Yuanji looked at him and said, “Is this what you call prying for information? It’s really funny, what kind of information can you expect to get from these people?”

The steward said with a bitter face, “They usually, not all say this ……”

Natsubara Yoshi sighed long and hard, “Ai, say no more, say no more ……”

His heart was pale and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “But I don’t know what sins I’ve done, and in the end, I have to be the unfilial son or grandson of the Xia family.”

The so-called unfiliality has three, no later for the big, Xia Yuanji is the old to get a son, now sideburns, this son but also no, white hair people send black hair people, Xia Xuan where there is a hint of failure, the Xia family will be here in the end of the future.

There was an indescribable pallor on Natsubara Yoshi’s face when he said this.

The steward followed him silently, without saying a word, with the same mournful look on his face.

But at this moment, someone suddenly flew past on the street.

It was three or four men and horses, dressed in the short costumes peculiar to the Postal Service, three or four flying horses, each carrying large packages on their backs, whistling past.

In an instant, it crossed over to Natsubara Yoshi toward the end of the street.

Xia Yuanji subconsciously looked sideways, but saw that one of them …… actually looked somewhat familiar.

He thought his eyes were blurred, and rubbed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, the group of men, however, had already gone away.

Natsubara Yoshi was flabbergasted, unmoving, his eyes struggling.

The steward looked at Xia Yuanji this way, and thought that he was not well, busy worriedly said, “Master, master …… what happened?”

Xia Yuanji, on the other hand, froze and said, “Fangcai, can you see the faces of those people clearly?”

The steward was stunned for a moment before he said, “Ah …… villain …… didn’t look closely, master, how ……”

Xia Yuanji trembled his lips for a moment before he said, “There is a person in the party …… who looks like Winston ……”

The steward’s surprised, “Ah ……”

The butler’s reaction, but it is all of a sudden pulled Xia Yuan Ji back to God, he then thought carefully, he could not help but laugh bitterly, “may be a mistake, hey …… these days, always in a trance, always feel …… as if Xuan Er has returned ……”

He shook his head and continued to laugh bitterly.

The steward consoled, “Master, the young master will surely be able to turn the corner, his good fortune will come from heaven.”

Xia Yuanji only pursed his lips, and the spirit in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a lot at once, not saying anything again.

…………

“Report, report ……”

Zhang San hurriedly broke into Zhang Anshi s study, while shouting, “Fujian Buzhengji …… Fujian Buzhengji …… came.”

Zhang Anshi is sitting in front of the table and looking at the book, heard the words of the three Zhang people before the sound first, but is still calm face, only said: “Which one of the House?”

Fujian Buzhengwei Si is very big, in fact, these days, also one after another in Fujian postmen come to the capital, only to bring the news are not accurate.

These days, these miscellaneous disappearance heard more, Zhang Anshi also calm.

Zhang San had already arrived at Zhang Anshi’s heels, with a few moments of excitement on his face, and said directly, “It’s Fuzhou Prefecture, the postman from Fuzhou Prefecture, who says he has definite news.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anshi violently stood up from his chair, his entire body suddenly shaking with energy.

Fuzhou and Quanzhou were the hardest hit areas of the rebellion, so if someone came from here, then the news would be really definitive.

In no time, Zhang San led a few people in.

Zhang Anshi sized up the men carefully, and the first one stepped forward and said, “My humble self, Xia Xuan, third-class official of the Pingtan Stage of the Fuzhou Postal Bureau, meet Your Highness.”

“Xia Xuan ……” Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows, the name sounded somewhat familiar.

But familiar with more people, Zhang Anshi at this time is not in the mood to think about this, split his head and asked: “Now how is the situation in Fuzhou?”

Xia Xuan said dryly, “The rebels have been eliminated.”

Hearing these words, Zhang Anshi’s eyes slightly opened, letting out a long breath, and his entire person was also vivid for a few moments.

However, he still had many questions, so he stared at Xia Xuan closely and said, “Exactly?”

“I am honored to have participated in the suppression of the thieves, yes, here is also the relevant report, please have a look at it, Your Highness.”

Saying that, Xia Xuan presented a zhang report.

Zhang Anshi quickly glanced at it, then his body shook and said, “The Great Song Emperor ……”

Xia Xuan then said, “These thieves, heartless, actually set themselves up as a pseudo-emperor, and sealed dozens of princes and marquises hundreds of people, and also set up an internal supervisor, enthroned the crown prince …….”

Zhang Anshi gasped, “Into his mother, do not want to life is just, why self-appointed emperor of the Great Song, this king and he has a grudge?”

“This ……” Xia Xuan was a little nervous, but with a hint of excitement, thought for a moment and said, “It may be …… that they also admire Your Highness. ”

Zhang Anshi snapped, his gaze glaring fiercely at Xia Xuan.

Xia Xuan immediately realized that he had patted this horse’s ass on the horse’s leg, and hurriedly pursed in his lips.

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said, “Holding thousands of people, the rest …… of them all descended, descended more than 40,000?”

“Yes.” Xia Xuan said, “Many of the people are ignorant and are being held hostage by them, so …… once they see the real thing, they either disperse or surrender, but those who resist are these 2,000 or so people …… ”

Zhang Anshi nodded, “You have recruited hundreds of thousands of people ……”

“There are more people, all recruited from the state capitals side ……”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head, “It is said in this report that your credit is not small, I didn’t expect that, it’s really a fearful later generation.”

“Where does my humble self get any credit, it’s all because the longtime officials taught me well, in addition to that …… there’s your highness ……”

Zhang Anshi waved his big hand, “Say less of these, later, this king has many words to ask you, but now is not the time to say here, this king taught people to prepare the car, you and I with the car, later, on the road and then slowly say.”

“Prepare the car…”

“Go to the palace.” Zhang Anshi said, “Both the exact news, then it should be immediately reported, by the way, those letters, are they all with the body?”

Winston Xia said, “It’s all on my back ……”

Zhang Anshi glanced at the large bag they were carrying, his heart was already clear, and he said in a neutral tone, “Bring it along.”

Along the way, Zhang Anshi could not help but ask for many more details.

In fact, these details were more or less what Zhang Anshi had previously expected.

The New Deal is extremely tempting for ordinary people.

But mere temptation doesn’t really mean much.

The fundamental problem lies in the need for countless people like Winston Xia to reach out to the villages, and on top of that, to deliver the diaries to the villages and miles.

The first thing to do is to have a group of people, eager for knowledge, gradually master a certain amount of learning, in fact, recognizing words is difficult, easy to say, even if the conditions are not enough, but as long as there are printed materials, really someone is determined, and then occasionally find someone to ask for advice, some basic literacy is possible to do.

And, on the contrary, these unwilling, and willing to pay a great deal of determination to learn to read, often are not ordinary generation, a person has this perseverance and determination, and the brain is also good, then inevitably, this is the villages and miles of the ‘capable person’.

They are both the backbone of the implementation of the new policy, but also necessarily the dissemination of the contents of the Di Di newspaper, and extremely willing to build a career, so as soon as Zhang Anshi’s edict arrived, they will certainly encourage their friends and relatives to follow the stagecoach.

Of course, it’s one thing to judge, but it’s another to actually be able to do it.

This, too, can be seen up and down the Postal Service, is really dedicated. If not, it is impossible to have today’s results.

Zhang Anshi only listened carefully to Xia Xuan’s statement, one side of his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Soon after, Zhu Di heard the news and quickly summoned Zhang Anshi and Xia Xuanren for an audience.

In the cultural building, Zhu Di sat down, a few ministers who accompanied the driver, in the side side stand.

Zhang Anshi saluted, “I ……”

Zhu Di was obviously a bit anxious as well, saying, “My rebellious general, has finally come.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anshi heart bitter smile, this more than a month of time, think his majesty heart also suffocated very hard, since he took the initiative to ask for help, but has been pressed, his majesty urged is not, do not urge and not, today is finally he Zhang Anshi hit the gun.

These five words, “Great General Against the Rebellion”, are quite a bit of a ghost.

Then Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I have come here to report the results of the battle.”

“War results?” Zhu Di sized up Zhang Anshi and frowned, “What war results?”

“Naturally, it is the matter of crusading against the rebellion.” Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, Fujian Buzhengji great victory, all wiped out the thieves, these rebels and traitors, bold, gathered tens of thousands of people, holding the people hostage, and even …… even appointed themselves as emperor, big feudal lords, fortunately the emperor blessed, Your Majesty’s saintly, to repel the thieves diatribe to the Fujian Buzhengji, everywhere loyal and brave men have unveiled, by heaven to discuss the rebellion, not a few days, the rebels will fall apart, the whole army was destroyed.”

“This is all the result of Your Majesty …… practicing benevolent government on weekdays and loving the people like children …………”

Chu: “……”

……………

I’m really sorry about yesterday, mainly because it was really busy and Tiger was really tired, but yes Tiger was wrong!
