Kunshan County Ya, Second Master Zhao has been thinking about tea and dinner for a while, worried that something will go wrong on his son's side. Although everyone regards Zhao Hao as an omnipotent golden beam, in Zhao Shouzheng's eyes, he is still just a child......

Hearing the news that the testing in the three counties of Huzhou was completed as scheduled, Zhao Erye breathed a sigh of relief. He originally planned to call Shanghe, Bai, and Xiong to play a few rounds of mahjong, but Mr. Wu reminded him that today he would go to the county to study the imperial history, and tomorrow he would study the students in the county.

"Since playing this spring, I have been playing boards all day long, and I haven't fished out a few cards. Although they are all 'popping', the former makes people uncomfortable, and the latter makes people happy. Zhao Erye had no choice but to press the card addiction, and looked at Wu Chengen with resentment and said:

"Every time I see a crying father and a mother who is beaten, the county always can't help but shed tears. At the end of the day, my eyes were red from crying. ”

"Don't look at me like that." The writer smiled bitterly: "It was Ling Gongzi who did not allow me to help, so that Dong Weng could become a qualified magistrate as soon as possible." ”

"Is this official unqualified?" Second Master Zhao blew his beard and glared for a while.

Xu Wei, who was tilting his legs on the kang and looking through the newly published Jiangnan Group's "Internal Reference", suddenly said faintly: "Mulberry leaves in October ......"

"Well, which pot is not opened." Second Master Zhao's face turned red, and he left in shame.

This is the old stubble of last year. At that time, Zhao Erye took advantage of the success of the embankment, and there were really some Lao Tzu who was the first county in the world to expand, and he decided to do it himself, leading the villagers on the road to prosperity, and completely took off the hat called Hua Kunshan!

After thinking and meditating for a long time, one day in the middle of the night, the painter and writer fell asleep, and Zhao Shouzheng suddenly came to knock on the door. Wu Chengen was so frightened that he thought something big had happened, so he quickly put on his pants and got up to open the door.

But seeing that Second Master Zhao did not look panicked, he said excitedly: "I have thought of a way to improve." I see that in April, the common people have to farm and raise silkworms, and they are really busy. Why don't we put up a notice and let them farm in April and raise silkworms in October? ”

"......" Wu Chengen stayed for a long time, before that he always felt that Dong Weng was wise and foolish. That night, he realized that he was not pretending. I don't understand it......

"Sir, how about my method?" Second Master Zhao was still there and asked innocently.

"Speaking of this method, in principle, it is about the same, about the touch...... No problem. Wu Chengen wiped his sweat and said: "There is just one question, where to find mulberry leaves to feed silkworms in October?" ”

"Uh......" Zhao Shouzheng was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

There is nothing strange about him, he is a dignified servant, and it is normal for his four bodies to be industrious and not to distinguish between grains. In fact, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are generally nerds who do not listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages. After entering the officialdom, he will not take his studies seriously, so it is not surprising to make such jokes.

After that day, he changed into civilian clothes and went to the countryside when he was free, inspected the fields, and humbly asked the old farmers for advice on agriculture and sang to understand the people's suffering. There are no more jokes like that now......

It makes the old couple's boring old age life a lot less fun.

~~

In the signature room.

After Zhao Shouzheng left, the painter suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Terrible." ”

"What's scary?" The writer was stunned.

"Can't you see?" Xu Wei shook the newspaper in his hand, and the red headline on it was 'Operation Spring Thunder Successfully Concluded' which was particularly eye-catching.

"I can't see it." Wu Chengen had already read the newspaper.

"That's why I said, you have to improve the pattern. The pattern is too small, how to write a big article? Xu Wei rolled his eyes, sat up and said: "Jiangnan Group's silkworm disease prevention war, people who don't know the inside story may think it's not a big deal. Isn't it just dealing with a few silkworms and a few fluttering moths? But aren't people like you, who have watched the whole process, breathtaking? ”

"It's truly breathtaking." Wu Chengen nodded honestly and said: "From the initial discovery of the silkworm disease to the present, it has been less than a month. It can quickly mobilize so many forces to devote itself to epidemic prevention and control. Moreover, there was no forcible expropriation and harassment of the people, and even the people outside Jiahu did not know what had happened in these six counties. ”

Saying that, he was impressed: "It really shows the uniqueness of Jiangnan Group." ”

"Isn't it just unique? It's just the only scorpion! Xu Wei raised his voice and said: "I can tell you very responsibly that in the past month, what Jiangnan Group has done, no official government in the Ming Dynasty can do." Even the imperial court in Beijing can't do it! ”

"So exaggerated?" Wu Chengen couldn't help but be surprised: "When you were in the Hu Gong Screen, couldn't you do it?" It is recognized that one of the major reasons for Hu Zongxian's success in resisting the Japanese was that a strong staff group helped him strategize and coordinate as a whole. In this way, the endless productive forces in the Jiangnan region were transformed into powerful military strength, and elite divisions such as the Qi family army and the Yu family army armed to the teeth were cast.

"If Hu Meilin had the Jiangnan Group back then, how could it take eight years to resist the Japanese?" Xu Wei shook his head and said, "At most, three years will be able to explode the Japanese invaders." ”

"So exaggerated?" The writer was dumbfounded. However, fighting against the Japanese is Xu Weiping's life's work, and he will definitely not depreciate himself in order to praise Zhao Hao.

"It's because we need to clean up the mess, otherwise two years will be enough." Xu Wei Zhengse said: "Those nerds who haven't read a few military books think that they only rely on elite soldiers to fight a war. Wrong, big mistake, if that were the case, Emperor Chengzu would have unified Mobei a long time ago, and there would be no need to remove the political envoy of Jiaozhi. Emperor Taizu didn't have to decide what country not to conquer, how happy would it be to defeat the whole world? ”

"I know this, if the expedition is too far, it will inevitably run out of food and grass, and the veterans of the division are tired." Wu Chengen said.

"Then why was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty able to conquer Mobei and annex Annam? Why could the Tang Dynasty hit Tianzhu? Xu Wei asked sharply.

"This ......," Wu Chengen was speechless.

"This is the difference between the strength of the country. I am too inferior to the Ming Dynasty, even when the founding of the country was prosperous, it was not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Xu Wei changed his words and said: "National strength is not just how many people you have, how many troops, how much grain and grass. Or do you have the ability to mobilize these people, deploy these supplies, train and arm these armies, and ensure that they fight in all directions! ”

"Hmm......" Wu Chengen nodded, he felt that Xu Wei had a point.

"When I was in the Humelin curtain, my biggest feeling was that I couldn't use my strength. Jiangnan is rich in the world, with a population of tens of millions, but the governor of Zhejiang is urged by the people below all day long, and he is tired of coping. Everyone knows that Jiangnan has money, but the money is in the hands of big households, and the government should be poor or poor. If you want to forcibly conscript, you will be impeached by their people. As a result, Mei Lin Gong and I tried our best to raise funds in many ways, but we could barely raise two elite soldiers of Qi and Yu. ”

"Alas, Zhao Xiaozi's money for raising the coast guard has long exceeded that of Mei Lin Gong, and he also builds ......ships like dumplings" It is precisely because it was not easy at the beginning that Xu Wei can clearly understand the strength of Jiangnan Group.

"It's really terrible......" Wu Chengen also completely understood what Xu Wei meant. He is a member of the Jiangnan Group Inspection and Supervision Committee, and he is naturally clear about how much money is burned in the Tamna garrison area and how much money is burned in shipbuilding. It's just that he never thought about it, or didn't want to think about it, how terrifying it would be if Zhao Hao turned the Jiangnan Group into a military existence.

In fact, the Jiangnan Group has long had a military presence.

The Xishan Island Arsenal is the largest arsenal in the Ming Dynasty, and the quality of the guns produced far exceeds that of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

The Coast Guard is the strongest naval force in the Ming Dynasty. Even the security team of the security group is probably among the best in the Ming Army......

It's just that the coast guard is far overseas, the number of security teams is too small, and the main team is home care, so it is not noticeable.

However, with the strong production and mobilization capabilities of Jiangnan Group this time, it is completely possible to expand these two teams in a short period of time.

Think about it, tens of thousands of well-trained workers in the factories, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden agricultural workers on the farms, who can go to the battlefield in a month with a little training in guns. And the combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than the army of the Ming Dynasty.

The writer's imagination is already rich, and once he falls into it, he can't extricate himself, and he has fast-forwarded to the Chenqiao Mutiny in his mind......

"Hey, hey......" Xu Wei saw that he was almost stunned, so he had to kick his stomach and bring him back to his senses.

"Oh, ah......" Wu Chengen looked at Xu Wei with a look of fear, and said in a low voice: "You say, Gongzi won't really have ...... Are you going to do that? ”

"No, at least not yet." Xu Wei shook his head and said with certainty: "He can do it like this in a few years, what does he rely on?" It was the support of the eldest princess and the connivance of the emperor. Besides, I am the most righteous in the Ming Dynasty, the son of the Zhu family has been sitting in the country for 200 years, and now the number of qi is not exhausted, who dares to move that kind of mind? ”

"That's okay......" Wu Chengen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead.

"But no one can say for sure in the future." Who knew that Xu Wei gasped and said, "What about a few more years?" The imperial court can't tolerate the Jiangnan Group? was forced to that step by step, does Zhao Xiaozi seem to be a waiting to die? Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and people can do anything when they are in a hurry. ”

"This ......" Wu Chengen just went down in a cold sweat, and his head broke out again. What the hell does Childe think? ”

"It doesn't matter." But I heard Xu Wei say quietly: "The allusion of 'yellow robe plus body' is about his ancestor. ”

"......" Wu Chengen understood what Xu Wei meant that as long as the Jiangnan Group continued to grow and grew to the extent that it was invincible in the world, there would naturally be countless people who would be restless.

"Then how should you and I deal with ourselves?" He asked again.

"You and me?" Xu Wei glanced at the writer strangely and said, "You are the one who wrote 'Sun Monkey Havoc in the Heavenly Palace', do you need to ask me?" ”

"Yes, I asked in vain." Wu Chengen looked at Xu Wei's increasingly white and harmless face, and suddenly remembered that this was a person who was desperate for society and couldn't die. Of course, this kind of person is afraid that the world will not be chaotic......

And he was also full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with this Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have written something as rebellious as "Journey to the West".

"But what's the use of changing dynasties? It's just a group of gods and Buddhas playing monkeys. There will be no shortage of man-eating youkai. "However, he was a little excited, so he wasn't afraid of making the Fa. Well, serious face.

"No, I have a hunch that the world is going to be very different. Whether it's good or bad, I can't go back......" Xu Wei shook his head and laughed:

"When I go back, I want to get closer to Li Zhuowu's nasty ghost, the road of the Taizhou School, I think it's quite compatible with science."
