said that Lu Sangu lost the bet with Jia Yi, went to Longyan alone, and found He Laodun's brother-in-law Mao Dewang's house without much effort. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters.}

He Laodun's original name was He Erzhu, and "Laodun" was originally the nickname given to him by others when he was an apprentice in the workshop in his early years, and it became a name over time. It is because of this that the spies of the princes can't inquire about a person named He Laodun in his hometown in Jiangxi. At this time, he claimed to have learned the art of a painter outside, and Mao Dewang went to work in a painter's shop for him. After decades of drawing, He Laodun's bottom is very deep, and the owner of the painting shop likes it tightly. Although the salary is not as much as a fraction of that of the Ministry of Labor that day, the days are also leisurely.

Lu Sangu first stepped on the left and left of the painter's shop in Mao's house for a few days, and eavesdropped on their conversations, and had some bottom in her heart. On this day, she dressed up as a man, painted her face, lit two moles, and ate at a small restaurant not far from the painter's shop. The proprietress of this restaurant has an extremely long tongue, and there are a large number of good girlfriends with long tongues comparable to hers. When ordering, she made a male and female voice, which aroused the curiosity of the proprietress and often peeped at her. After finishing the meal and settling the bill, she said to the proprietress: "The miscellaneous family asks you, have you heard of a person named He Laodun?" ”

Although the proprietress has never been far away, she has seen many past merchants and knows that the word "miscellaneous" is the self-title of the eunuch in the palace. Looking at this guest again, although he was wearing men's clothes, his speech was neither yin nor yang, and he had an Adam's apple, he immediately concluded that this person was a eunuch, and his eyes lit up. She has lived for more than 30 years and has never seen a living father-in-law! Nai pondered for a long time and said, "We don't have many surnames here, but we haven't heard of this name." ”

Lu Sangu compared: "It's so high, how old is it, there should be forty-seven or eighteen this year, but I came to Longyan from the capital a few years ago to join my family." ”

The proprietress thought about it again and said, "I have never heard of this person, and I probably know most of the people from these ten miles and eight towns." Longyan is not a small place, can it be kept in the mountains? ”

Lu Sangu's face was disappointed, and she stood up and said, "This person must be in Longyan." If there is news of him, the prince will be rewarded! ”

The proprietress was so shocked that she jumped up: "Lord Wang! ”

"Not bad." Lu Sangu said, "The boss lady can think about it again." ”

The proprietress racked her brains and thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head: "It's really not." However, there is also a person who is about the same age and comes from other places to join his relatives with the surname He, but it is not this name, nor is it from the capital. ”

Lu Sangu said: "The miscellaneous family will look elsewhere first, and come back in a few days." If there is any news of the master, tell the miscellaneous family when the time comes. Nai sighed lightly, "I hope I don't get taken away by the eighth man first." ”

The proprietress flashed her eyes: "The eighth? ”

Lu Sangu snorted: "But if you get the news, when others come to inquire, you just say that you don't know, and the reward given by the miscellaneous family must be more." "The proprietress is busy and agrees." If the Tan family in Zhangzhou comes to ask for letters, they can't talk to them. The proprietress was stunned. Lu Sangu stared at her coldly, and she nodded in fright. Lu Sangu then left five taels of silver and left.

The proprietress stood at the door and watched her ride away, where could she be idle? I didn't even care about the restaurant, so I kicked the silver and took off my apron and ran out. A few steps to a sister-in-law who bought a hat, bar-la-la-la talked and gestured, and took the silver out to show her, showing off: "Five taels!" I've never seen silver in such good condition! The father-in-law ate no more than twenty copper coins. ”

The sister-in-law was so envious that her eyes were about to fall out: "Why didn't he come to buy the hat?" ”

The proprietress said proudly: "Fortune is coming, no one can stop it!" I just don't know which prince it is and who are you looking for? The two of them chatted for a while, and the proprietress went elsewhere.

walked around the county, and the more the proprietress spoke, the more neat and outrageous she became. When she went to a cloth shop and told the proprietress to tell her, a peasant woman was buying cloth, and she came up and said, "I know this father-in-law!" ”

The proprietress of the hotel looked at her full dress and dark face, and it was obvious that someone from the mountains had come down to change salt and rice, and she pulled two feet of cloth, her mouth twisted and her nose was crooked, and she sneered: "Where do you know where to go?"

The black-faced peasant woman said, "That father-in-law has two huge black moles on his face?" ”

The proprietress of the hotel couldn't help but step forward: "Exactly! ”

The black-faced peasant woman's eyebrows fluttered: "He came to our village a few days ago, and he stayed at our house for two days, and there was a man with him. Nai said in a low voice, "I also heard the man say that the fourth aunt set by the Tan family is the eighth person, and he came to Zhangzhou in the winter of the old year to be a staff member for Tan Mo, and he is the third son of Lord Li of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and a student of Lord Zhou of Hanlin Academy, and he will come to Longyan to preside over the affairs of the mine after he gets married." I'm afraid that he knows where He Laodun is hiding; Otherwise, according to his identity, why not marry a county lord? Where can I see the daughter of the prefect's family! It's still raised by an aunt. The father-in-law asked, is there anything strange about the four girls of the Tan family? The man said that her brother and brother were the leaders of the mine, and they came to Longyan in a proper name and would not cause others to be suspicious. She said no more.

Both proprietresses asked, "What else?" ”

The black-faced peasant woman sneered: "Later, my man called me to boil water......

"Hey~~" The two proprietresses were extremely disappointed.

The proprietress of the hotel worked tirelessly to pass on the words of the black-faced peasant woman again, but she didn't see that the peasant woman looked a little similar to the father-in-law. At dusk, the whole county knows. He Laodun naturally knew about it, and knew that his whereabouts had been noticed by more than one prince, and he was so worried that he stayed awake all night and didn't know what to do.

The next day, he went to work in the shop, and a sister-in-law came to buy paintings early in the morning. The boss asked casually: "Sister-in-law seems to have a happy event?" ”

The sister-in-law was having something to say and listen to others, and said with a smile: "It's really a happy event!" A great event! Nai sighed, "When I was a child, my family was poor and couldn't support so many children, so I had no choice but to give my fifth brother away. Who knew that the family was so ruthless that they actually sold my brother to human teeth! As he spoke, tears fell, and he choked up, "Poor that child is only seven years old, and he carries water and chops wood for his master's house every day, and his hands are all soaked. He cried for a while, and said, "In the old year, I heard that he escaped on a ship to cross the sea while he was following the steward to Quanzhou to do business, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Nai smiled again, "Yesterday I got his letter, he opened four acres of wasteland in Dajiala, Taiwan, and now he has seriously obtained the household registration of good people, and after a few years, he will go home to visit relatives when he has savings." Isn't that a great event? ”

The boss hurriedly said: "It's a happy event!" Relatives have been separated for a long time, and suddenly there is news, it is better than meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land! As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing, and your brother will have a great fortune and become a rich man in the future! ”

The sister-in-law smiled from ear to ear and said a blessing to the boss: "Thank you for your good words!" "I bought more than 20 good paintings in one go.

Although He Laodun had never spoken to him, his heart moved. The world is in turmoil, and there is no peace anywhere. The eighth doesn't have to be said to be the king of Jin. King Jin is not a good person. Since he sent a lot of money to Longyan, everything must have been ascertained. You can't hide from it. But now there is little to say that there is still a way for the prince to track it down. In case the two of them make a move, they will inevitably affect the old parents and the sister and brother-in-law's family. It's better to go to Taiwan to take refuge. I heard that there are many workshops over there, and according to their own craftsmanship, they can get food and clothing.

So he made up his mind and went back to tell his parents and sister that he was going to Taiwan to seek a career. His parents were in a hurry. The old man scolded on crutches for a long time, and the old woman touched her tears and cried for a long time, and she did not allow him to go; He ate the scales and was so determined that he had to go, and he was in a hurry. His sister had no choice but to rush two new sets of clothes and some dry food for him.

He Laodun hurried for a day as if fleeing for his life, stayed at the inn at night, untied his burden, and found a silver ingot of twenty taels inside! With so much money, his sister didn't dare to give it privately. Needless to say, his brother-in-law secretly stuffed it. He Laodun's eyes suddenly turned red, and he bowed in the direction of Longyan: "I, He Erzhu, have a chance to come in the future, and I will repay my brother-in-law with a good life." ”

On the other hand, because of the Zhangzhou incident, Lin Daiyu Jarvis took the Tan family's generous gifts to Quanzhou. Quanzhou had already received the news, opened the city to greet him, and invited General Jia to the banquet. Because Quanzhou was rich and was not the main source of immigrants from Taiwan, it only garrisoned troops for three days, and ordered people to go around the Quanzhou wharf with guns and ammunition every day, showing off their prestige. Three days later, they boarded the ship and left, and the prefect of Quanzhou came to the dock to see him off.

Back in Chengtian Mansion, Zheng Chaoer and more than a dozen Fujian officials have been here for seven or eight days, and they are negotiating with Jia Lian, Gong Kun and others. After all, things are still frozen on the fugitive slaves. Which of these old men has a Zhuangzi and a slave in his family? Dead or alive refused to agree to let the fugitive slaves cross the sea.

Lin Daiyu frowned after hearing this: "What has been done for so long for a little thing?" Nai asked, "Didn't we study a treaty before sending troops?" Take it out and get them to sign it. The people who came back this time are the most important officials on both the military and political sides of Fujian, plus Governor Huang Wengang, who can have the final say. ”

"Where are they willing to sign!" Jia Cong pouted and said, "That old thing is not easy to deal with, opening your mouth is a pit." ”

Daiyu glanced at him: "It's useless, it will only coax people." ”

Jia Cong snorted: "You can do it!" ”

Daiyu said: "I'll go up tomorrow and bring the treaty to me." ”

Gong Kun immediately took the treaty and sent it to him, with a thick stack of booklets attached: "This is the treaty we originally drafted, this is the one that was polished later, and this is the meeting record." ”

Daiyu waved her hand and said: "I don't need the minutes of the meeting, Ming'er annoys General Lao Jarvis to accompany me to discuss matters with people from Fujian, and the rest of the people should do what they should do." ”

Gong Kun hurriedly made a gesture: "Hard work! There are still a lot of things to do there, so let's go first. ”

Daiyu said casually: "Lord Gong is hard. Gong Kun was busy smearing oil under his feet.

The rest of the people did the same, and they said a few polite words one after another, and everyone saluted and ran away, leaving only General Jia, who was hand-picked by Xiangye, to stay honestly. Jarvis clenched his fists and said, "The military advisor has orders." ”

"Nothing." Daiyu said, "Rest early in the evening, and Ming'er will let these officials sign a contract." Jarvis went back in peace. Dai Yu slightly changed the details of the treaty, instructed the people below to copy it in seven copies according to the pavilion style, and asked Jia Lian to sign his name and stamp his handprint and the seal of the prefect of Taiwan.

Wu Xiaoxi quietly asked Jia Cong: "How do you think Lin Xiangye is going to talk to them?" ”

Jia Cong grimaced: "Let's talk!" She has just come back from showing off her might, and she is still willing to sit down and negotiate with these people? Designation is the threat of force. ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "A few days ago, Liu Feng asked you to come hard, why didn't you agree?" ”

Jia Cong said leisurely: "This kind of historic moment, it's better to let Sister Lin call the shots." I had to make her show a few more important faces. She is a woman after all, if she doesn't play hard a few times, how will she shock the world in the future? "People are really in the lower realm, little brother, I am OEM.

"Why, when did you become so polite and reasonable?" Wu Xiaoxi shrugged and left.

The next day, Lin Daiyu accompanied Lin Hai to breakfast. Lin Hai sighed: "Yu'er, the slave and the grange are the foundation of the big family. The Taiwan government accepts fugitive slaves, fearing that it will provoke the enemies of the world. ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "Daddy, don't worry. Taiwan is only a small island, with two Guangxi and Fujian provinces on the left, and a large population. Even if those princes in the north know about it, they won't take it to heart. They would think that such a small place, even if it is filled, it will not take many people, and it will not be their turn to have a slave escape. ”

Lin Hai was still worried, and said again after a while: "There is one more sentence, I am tired of saying it." You're not too young......"

Daiyu smiled bitterly: "Dad, my daughter really doesn't have time to get married now." Lin Hai opened his mouth, and finally waved his hand and sighed. Daiyu couldn't comfort for a while, so she had to stuff some snacks indiscriminately, change her clothes and leave.

She rode a horse to Xiao first. Xiangguan and Jarvis rounded, the two discussed a little and went straight to the post house. Gong Kun sent someone over last night to sue Zheng Chao'er and others, and it was these two who would come to discuss the matter tomorrow; Zheng Chaoer discussed with everyone overnight how to deal with it, and thought of three or four sets of methods. I didn't expect it to come in handy at all. The rule of discussion between Lin Junshi and the general of the defeated army is - no discussion.

The officials from Fujian who came to negotiate were invited to the conference room of the post house, and the refreshments were served, and everyone bowed and exchanged a few words, Lin Daiyu ordered someone to hold the treaty book and said: "This is the Fujian open port treaty that we have prepared, and I hope that you will take a look at it, sign it and stamp it with the official seal and handprint, and then take it and ask Lord Huang to sign it as well, and everyone can have a banquet together at noon." ”

The officials in Fujian opened it and immediately shouted: "How can this be reasonable! Master Lin, you deceive people too much! There is a clear article in this treaty that says: Anyone who obtains a household registration on the island of Taiwan is a free citizen. In other words, the minions who can cross the sea can be freed from slavery.

Lin Daiyu asked a loud official with a smile: "Is this Lord Zhang?" ”

The man coughed: "Yes, old man Zhang Cunzhi." ”

Lin Daiyu stood up and saluted him: "Please Lord Zhang take the lead in signing." ”

Zhang Cunzhi patted the case and said: "How can the old man sign ......" Before he finished speaking, Jarvis, who was standing behind Lin Daiyu, raised the Western fire in his hand. The gun was aimed at Zhang Cunzhi's head. Zhang Cunzhi was stunned.

Lin Daiyuyun said lightly: "It's easy for Master Zhang not to sign, but a flower is about to bloom on his head." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Zheng Chao'er hurriedly stood up and said, "If you have something to say, why bother with knives and guns." ”

Daiyu smiled: "No. After signing the treaty, there is something to say. General Zheng," she rolled her eyes, "what I wanted to say, I went back to it last time." Could it be that General Zheng forgot what we said last time, thinking that General Jia and I went to Fujian for a visit? Zheng Chaoer was dumbfounded.

Lin Daiyu looked at Zhang Cunzhi and said: "I'll fall dozens of times, if Lord Zhang hasn't signed yet, General Jia will shoot." Naizheng sat down, holding a shelf and straining his face and counting, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two......"

Before the word "one" could be spoken, Jarvis's fingers moved, and Zhang Cunzhi was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "I sign ...... I sign."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Cunzhi was already in a cold sweat, trembling and signing the first one, Daiyu smiled and pointed out: "Thank you Lord Zhang, this treaty is in seven copies, please sign six more copies." ”

With fire. Guns, who is still reasonable? The treaty was signed in seven copies in the blink of an eye. Daiyu took a look, it was correct, but she also signed her name "Lin Daiyu" one by one, and there was an indescribable strangeness in her heart. He let out a long sigh and stamped his handprint.

Daiyu then saluted the Fujian officials: "I will order someone to send it to Lord Huang to sign and seal - when I heard that General Cheng invited him to come to Chengtianfu for tea, he had an official seal on his body." ”

Zheng Chao'er smiled wryly, opened her mouth several times, and didn't say a word after all.

Not long after, Huang Wengang also signed his name and stamped his official seal and fingerprint in the house arrest hospital. This contract officially came into effect, and is known as the "Fujian-Taiwan Open Port and Free Immigration Treaty", referred to as the "Futai Treaty". Because this was the first official document of the feudal dynasty to recognize the emancipation of slaves, later history books set the date of the signing of the "Treaty of Futai" as a watershed between ancient history and modern history. The original manuscript of the Treaty of Futai was later deposited in the National Archives and the National Museum.

In later generations, there was often a question in the high school history exam:

Because he was the governor of Taiwan at the time, he signed his name before Lin Daiyu in the "Futai Treaty": (___)

A: Jia Yu; B: Jia Lian; C: Jia Yu; D: Jia Cong.
