On the ninth day of July, it is the hottest time of the year, in the streets and alleys of Nanjing, there are pergolas and teahouses everywhere, no matter how simple these teahouses are, but every season, there are many people who like to hold a pot of herbal tea and taste it carefully, killing the leisure time of summer.

These people have any identity, Shinong industry and commerce are almost all-encompassing, the big guy wants to earn a few more rations, but he can't do anything in this kind of hot summer, fortunately, with the publication of "Qingliu Bao", there is one more popular activity in Nanjing, that is, reading newspapers, and the days seem to be a little more interesting.

Nowadays, in the large and small teahouses in Nanjing, there is basically such a newspaper reader, most of whom are literate and down-and-out literati, who can also earn some big copper plates and make a living by reading newspapers. In their intonation and frustration, many people could still understand the meaning of the court, so they became more and more interested.

"On June 19, the First Division of the Fu Han Army officially captured Zhangzhou Mansion, while the Third Division captured Tingzhou Mansion and completely occupied the entire territory of Fujian...... The enemy Qing army was afraid of war, and now it has retreated to Guangzhou Prefecture...... The day when the army marched south to attack Liangguang was imminent. ”

When this piece of news was read out by the storyteller, there was a boiling in the teahouse, and everyone knew that after taking Fujian, Liangguang was basically a certainty, and Ning Chu was basically about to realize the idea of occupying the southeast.

"I said that the dog couldn't help but fight, but I didn't expect it to be such a cowardice, and he actually lost Chaozhou Mansion, Jiaying Prefecture and Huizhou Mansion...... It's really vulnerable!"

"That is, when the south is completely taken, the day of His Majesty's Northern Expedition will be in front of you!"

Everyone is noisy, and the people of this capital often have a characteristic, although they are not very rich in life, but they are more enthusiastic about the country's major affairs, and the news of the people spreads faster than the official, which is really laughable.

However, among the noisy crowd, there was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it carefully, with a serious attitude, almost every word on it was imprinted in his heart, and the herbal tea and a few plates of dim sum beside him were not touched at all.

"The new policy of Da Chu is unobstructed in this newspaper, and His Majesty's ambition is like the scorching sun, which makes people dare not look at it directly!"

After reading the newspaper, the man in Tsing Yi let out a sigh of emotion, unlike the noisy men on the side, he read the newspaper but he saw what Ning Yu wanted to really express, that is, the new deal of Da Chu.

It's just that his words have attracted the attention of a middle-aged man next to him, and this person is not small, it is Tan Shunzhi, the county commander of Shuntian County, Nanjing Prefecture, who followed Ning Zhongyuan and these people to fight the world together.

Although Tan Shunzhi is not young, he is also in his forties, but his mind is quite open-minded, after a number of new policies proposed by Ning Yu, he has always taken the lead in practice, and he will go to the streets and alleys every few days to listen to the thoughts of the people, so he is also quite valued by Ning Yu, and he is a good student.

This day is quite coincidental, the middle-aged scholar in Tsing Yi sighed after reading the newspaper, but Tan Shunzhi listened to it, and he was a little puzzled at the moment, although there are some things about the big politics in the newspaper, but there are really few people who can see the foundation of the big politics of the court, and it is difficult to count them to appear in this tea shed.

"Mr. is a master, how can you see the national politics of Da Chu and His Majesty's ambition from a few words in this newspaper?" Although Tan Shunzhi's attitude was humble, his words were straightforward enough, and he asked straight to the point.

The man in Tsing Yi sneered, "This newspaper is concise and to the point, and there are no obscure words, even an ordinary seven-year-old child can read it completely, so why is it difficult?" As for the national politics of Da Chu and His Majesty's ambitions, they are even more clearly written and clear. ”

"Please give me advice." Tan Shunzhi pressed forward step by step.

"It's ....... Then I'll talk nonsense today, and I hope my brother won't be harsh......"

The man in Tsing Yi showed a little smile on his face, and slowly said: "The national politics of Da Chu, its root lies in the "King James Constitution of Da Chu", I look at its general strategy, but it is sweating profusely, it is really happy, this constitution is definitely not what such stupid people say is made for industry and commerce, nor is it deliberately ruining our Shilin, everything that is said in this is actually a great harmony in the world. ”

Datong Tianxia is the era that traditional scholars and literati look forward to the most, and it is also the most beautiful era, where everyone loves and helps each other, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, there is no poverty and wealth, there is no war and strife, it is a truly beautiful world.

Tan Shunzhi's eyes condensed slightly, this was the first person to have such high expectations for the "King James Constitution", and he hurriedly said: "I believe what Brother Tai said, but how can I see Your Majesty's ambition?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty's ambition is in this world, in this vast fertile land, but all things in the world and the vast fertile land will not come out of thin air. ”

Hiss –

Tan Shunzhi took a breath, he was now more and more suspicious of the identity of the middle-aged man, if the other party was just an unborn talent, but what if it was a spy sent by the Qing court?

"Mr. is talented, but his words are extremely admirable, dare to ask Mr. for his name?"

The face of the man in Tsing Yi was a little darker at this time, and he laughed at himself: "The reputation of the contemptible person is not obvious, the surname is Wang Jingqi, but he is just a down-and-out person, and he has never made a name for himself in the scientific field, how can he be a great talent?" ”

Tan Shunzhi said with a smile: "Ordinary people only talk about fame in the field, but all kinds of things in this world can be said by more than just a fame?" Sir, don't worry. ”

Wang Jingqi shook his head with a somewhat wry smile on his face, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Tan Shunzhi saw that Wang Jingqi didn't want to continue talking, so he had to sigh and prepare to leave here. It's just that when he turned around, he found that the "Qingliu Daily" was still on the table, and it was not picked up by Wang Jingqi, so he immediately reached out and picked it up, but as soon as he picked it up, he found that there were many dense fly-headed small letters written on the back of the newspaper.

"Yu is fifty and three years old this year, the youth carries me, the yellow scroll laughs, the mood is so barren, the sick body is so detrimental, the relationship has traveled thousands of miles, poverty and hunger, asking yourself about life, it is useless....."

"Remembering the heroic and uninhibited young man, it is said that he is a long and uninhibited world, there is no one to be friends with, scolding the general who sits, and the arrogant sergeant, if you don't agree with each other, it is not difficult to fight with the blade. Do you think that the monarch has not read more than 10,000 books, and he dares to puff up his lips and tongue to me? Wherever you go, the wind is famous, and it is often avoided, and everyone in the world wants to kill, and it is believed! At the age of fifty, I gradually learned what was wrong with the past, and I lowered my heart to follow people, and I broke the corporal, because I had a little friend with me, but I was in trouble, and many of them were ...... under the pretense of the same."

After Tan Shunzhi read it carefully, he only felt that the arrogant and arrogant posture in the text was fully displayed, and secretly said that although this person has no talent, he also hopes to achieve a career, otherwise why write such words? If you miss it, it is a pity for the talent, and I will carefully fold this newspaper and put it in my arms.

In fact, this scene in the tea shed is just a small episode experienced by Tan Shunzhi, he actually has a very important thing to do this time, that is, to participate in the National County Order Promotion Conference, which is actually under the instruction of Ning Yu, organized a national county order inspection and study meeting.

After Ningyu announced a series of new policies, more energy is focused on the implementation of the county's governance methods, in this regard, the county magistrates' governance methods will directly determine the effect of the new policies, so Ningyu attaches great importance to this, this conference is a lesson to these county magistrates, only by emancipating their minds, can promote the change of governance methods.

To a certain extent, since the official establishment of the Han Army in Dachu, many of the original grass-roots officials have been promoted, so almost all of today's Dachu county commanders are selected talents after the founding of the country, a common feature of these people is that they are young and active enough, and when the organization department appointed these county orders, Ning Yu personally checked the pass, and the selection was also a practical talent, even the champion Peng Qifeng did not enter this batch of selection.

Ning Yu is actually a little anxious at the moment, and is now on the eve of the industrial revolution, but there are some things that need to be started - he asked Ernst to go to Western European countries to introduce talents, books, etc., and he has not given up the exploration and research of technology in China, at least the project of steam engine and Jenny textile machine has begun.

In addition, Ningyu needed to ensure the stable transformation of society in this stage of change, and the collapse of the traditional small-scale peasant economy in the era of the industrial revolution was almost inevitable, and how to guide those unemployed peasants and tenants into the new industrial and commercial fields became a matter of urgency.

In traditional Chinese small-scale peasant society, self-sufficiency is an important criterion, in this case the so-called prosperous era, but in reality this prosperous era is extremely fragile, because the population that can be accommodated by the land is extremely limited, and no matter how much manpower is invested per unit area of land, no matter how intensive the cultivation is, it cannot significantly increase the original yield. Therefore, when the population continues to grow, the contradiction between man and land will only intensify, and the collapse of society is only a matter of time.

The development of industrialization needs to swallow up a large amount of land resources and population resources, so it is impossible to maintain the existing fragile small peasant economy, industrial upgrading has become a matter of urgency, and the transformation of more agricultural population into industrial population has become a key choice to avoid social unrest.

However, industrial upgrading is not something that Ningyu has when he opens his mouth, it needs a sufficiently inclusive business environment, a large supply of raw materials, and a sufficient consumer market. In particular, what Ningyu wants is not a step-by-step upgrade process, but a substantial leapfrog upgrade, so the government's boost has become inevitable.

Fortunately, Ningyu traveled back early enough, and it can be said that there are actually no enemies worth seeing at home and abroad, even the so-called British Empire, which is now only stuck in the accumulation period before the industrial revolution, and the related industrial upgrading has not begun, let alone the colonies that spread all over the world in later generations.

Therefore, when Ningyu grasped the internal reform, the overall external expansion was to adopt a relatively slow pace, and was not in a hurry to unify the whole country at once, after all, it is difficult for the Qing court to pose a threat to Dachu, and internal reform is what Ningyu values now.

Speaking of which, there is no so-called industry in this era, almost all industries are handicraft workshops, to use a very shabby sentence, before the Hanyang Gun Factory founded by Ning Yu, almost all people produced muskets in the way that one person slowly knocked the barrel of a gun, and the low production efficiency was outrageous.

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty at that time, even the guns and cannons of European countries relied on individual blacksmith shops, which may be much more technical and technical than the Qing court today, but the model is almost the same. Therefore, the Hanyang Gun Factory founded by Ningyu has surpassed the entire era through standardization and division of labor and cooperation in production methods.

It's just that in Ning Yu's view, large-scale industrialization can not only be the military industry, like other industries also need to make relevant technical reserves, such as coke, reverberatory furnace plus crucible steel plus steam engine combination, is the future development trend. With these basic preparations, the production mode of the relevant industry will also be appropriately adjusted.

More than 200 county magistrates gathered in the Fengtian Temple, dressed in bright red official robes, faintly divided into several large groups, most of whom had a little restraint and awe in their expressions. Only a few people can see the feeling of being in high spirits.

After all, low-level officials like them, without special circumstances, have no chance to step into the Fengtian Palace, and as for those who can be promoted to the level of high-ranking officials in the ministry, they are too rare, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as none of the ten.

Ning Yu strode into the Fengtian Temple, and saw the county commanders who were bowing their heads, and couldn't help but show a little smile on their faces, these county magistrates did not lack a heart for the country and the people, but they still lacked the indoctrination of some new ideas.

"Your Majesty, St. Ann!"

With a nervous heart, the county commanders bowed for a long time, and the red wave was surging in the Fengtian Temple, giving people a shocking feeling.

Ning Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, "You don't need to be polite, you are all the cornerstone of my Great Chu, and you are also the pillars of the future, thirty years after the Great Chu, it depends on you today!" ”

The words seem to be plain, and there is no so-called promise of promotion and wealth, but there is a strong hint in it, from the cornerstone to the pillar, isn't it the meaning of promotion...... Thirty years later, a pot of fragrant chicken soup is freshly baked.

The key is that the young county commanders below are extremely useful, and most of them have not been in the officialdom for a long time, so they blushed when they heard it, and they couldn't wait to immediately treat Emperor Ning as a cow and a horse.

"Long live Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best to repay Your Majesty!"
