Section V
Anyone who has gone to middle school, there may be few people who don't know Gu Yanwu, Lin Feng will certainly not be an exception, originally in his mind, this person should be a person with a lot of connotation, although it is not "weathered and peerless", at least it is also "elegant and chic", originally in his mind, famous Confucian scholars are probably like this, in the same kind of people who have been in contact with before, the images of Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei, Tang Bin, etc. are quite good, and they are all iron-clad beasts in later generations. But the Gu Yanwu in front of him obviously surprised him, not to mention anything else, in terms of height, it was ridiculously different, according to visual inspection, the size of this old man would never exceed one meter five and a half, so at this time, he immediately remembered the scene when he met Chen Jinnan, but the poor image of the helmsman of Chen was a work need, and it was naturally not the same as a neutral person like Gu Yanwu.
"Old Kunshan Gu Yanwu, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Han!!" As expected, this old boy was full of arrogance, and walked up to the hall to face Lin Feng, but he just bowed his hand slightly.
"Oh! Mr. Ningren is so polite! Of course, Lin Feng has to match the cooperation show, and immediately put on 100% enthusiasm, returned the salute again and again, and said politely, "The old gentleman is highly knowledgeable and famous all over the world, and this king has admired him for a long time. - Hehe, please take a seat, please take a seat!! β
After Gu Yanwu sat down, Lin Feng said with a smile, "Mr. succumbs to Beijing, there must be someone to teach me." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, His Royal Highness the King of Han is majestic and strategic, the world is heard, Gu is dying, a person waiting to die, how dare you advise His Highness?!" Gu Yanwu smiled wrinkledly, then took out his cigarette pouch, lit the fire, took a puff, sprayed the smoke all over the house, and said with a smile, "The sages said: old and immortal are called thieves, and in the middle of his life, he is just a sour and rotten old man, what kind of reputation, that is, he knows more people, those flattering stinky farts, can he still take it seriously?!" β
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanwu was so funny, there was no winter baking at all, Lin Feng had a good impression at the moment, and saluted with tea, "The old gentleman is polite - please!" β
"Your Highness!" Gu Yanwu put down his cigarette pouch, restrained his smile, and said, "Don't hide it from King Han, Gu took the liberty to ask for a meeting this time, there are two things to ask His Highness!" β
"Two things?!" Lin Feng was surprised, "Please speak, please speak!" β
"This is the first thing, the old man wants to ask for the king's life on behalf of the displaced people in Henan and Shanxi provinces," Gu Yanwu's expression was gloomy, "Now the thieves in Henan are swarming, Shanxi Junggar Iron Riding south, and the small people everywhere abandon the well and leave their hometowns to avoid the war, looking at the world, this Chinese Shenzhou, there is only a little peace under the rule of the king, if the king still has mercy, please let the mouth open, let these thousands of people beg for a bite to eat!" β
Lin Feng's words changed, in fact, he was not unaware of this matter, this time Li Guangdi made a detailed report to him as soon as he returned to Beijing, since Lin Feng worked hard last year to help and resettle two million displaced people, this reputation of "benevolence, righteousness and love for the people" has indeed spread, of course, the benefits are a lot, but the negative impact seems to be more. For Shilin, Lin Feng's move is of course very beautiful, with a "people's main style", but in the eyes of the common people, it is simply equated with a job, in fact, this matter has been greatly distorted after it has been spread to other provinces, and it has also evolved into different versions.
The hard-working and kind Chinese people carried forward the exaggerated factor in their nature, and described Lin Feng and his Han military regime as a strange organization similar to gods and monsters, and there were a few that Lin Feng heard alone, such as one saying that he had a certain magic weapon, which was similar to something like a heaven-turning seal or a Qiankun bag, and its effect was to pour it wherever it was, and the rice flour bun would flow out, and it could be piled up into a mountain endlessly, in short, the mana was boundless; There are also some who say that he descended from a certain star, and his core task is to save the people from fire and water, and his external manifestation is to give people buns when they see them, and also give houses and fields. Of course, politically speaking, these things were very beneficial to Lin Feng and the Han military regime, because according to tradition, this thing is called "the will of the people", which reflects the expectations and support of the broad masses of the people for Lin Feng's evil dictatorship.
According to Li Guangdi's investigation report, the origin of these people is very complicated, in addition to the neighboring Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Shandong, many people actually bring their families all the way from Shaanxi, Jiangnan and other places, the exact number can not be counted, but the conservative estimate is about more than three million, and what is even more terrifying is that this number is still increasing.
Seeing that Lin Feng's face was unrelenting, Gu Yanwu arched his hand towards Lin Feng, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, the old man has heard that the former king first decided to Beijing, that is, he will do his best to relieve the people, and even dismantle the palace ceremony, tree bark, Guanyin soil has been eaten, millions of living beings are all gone, husbands eat wives, mothers eat children, the roads everywhere are hungry, Gu is not talented, this time it is entrusted by millions of displaced people, is to ask the king for help, "He stood up majestically, bowed down to Lin Feng, "Please read the king in the same Shenzhou bloodline, and be merciful......"
"Sir, you're actually a representative of the homeless people?! ......" Lin Feng was taken aback, and threw an angry look at Chen Menglei, only to see that Chen Menglei was also stunned and didn't know why, obviously he didn't know, he helplessly helped Gu Yanwu up, and said with a wry smile, "Sir, please take a seat, we have to think about this matter in the long run!" β
"Sir, I don't know, this king is also powerless now!" Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, "Last year, millions of displaced people crossed the border, and our Han army fought hard, and only barely coped with it when we took care of our family background, and finally supported it until this year's autumn harvest, but we had a big fight with the Tartars, and now the treasury is like a wash, what do you say I can do?!" β
"Gu heard that His Highness was collecting a large number of ...... last year Shouldn't the 'coarse grain' who helps the people use this method again this year?! Gu Yanwu was extremely disappointed on his face, and asked unwillingly, "The homeless people are suffering, and they don't dare to be picky about food, just want to live, which is the kindness of the King of Han!" β
Lin Feng said solemnly, "Mr. is a scholar, but he doesn't know the difficulty of this relief - last year, our army collected a large amount of food, which began after autumn, when the fields were still warm and the grass and trees were not dry, and the transportation was very convenient, so you can concentrate on mobilizing from everywhere, and now it is approaching the end of the year, and there is ice and snow everywhere under my rule, so teach people how to collect food?!" β
"I heard that the king of Han implemented benevolent government this year, introduced a large number of potatoes and taro varieties from the south, and reaped a bumper harvest this year, it is said that folk rumors say that when the army went out to fight in the past, the grain was piled up like a mountain, and it was an expedition of thousands of miles from the risk of lack of food, and a few days ago tens of thousands of new troops were also conscripted into the army. Gu Yanwu blushed and refuted, "Tang Taizongyun, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, Your Highness, this society is not in the military at all, but in tens of millions of Li people!" β
Lin Fengda was embarrassed, picked up the tea bowl to hide the expression on his face, and coughed dryly, "Mr. doesn't know, there are some stored grains - but these grains are all military rations, the so-called army can't go without food for a day, otherwise it will be chaotic without a war, Mr. is so knowledgeable, don't you understand the truth?!" β
Gu Yanwu said angrily, "In this way, the king is really unwilling to lend a hand now?!" β
Lin Feng and Chen Menglei glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yanwu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Could it be that no one in my Shenzhou can turn the tide and save the people of Li from fire and water?!" β¦β¦β
Lin Feng sighed, "Since it was Mr. Gu who spoke, although it was difficult for this king, he must not give face......
"Oh?!" Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Gu Yanwu was inexplicably surprised, and said in a gaffe, "The king agreed?!" β
"Hehe, sir, don't be in a hurry, this matter can't be rushed!" Lin Feng groaned slightly, "Mr. Ningren, this king is honest with you, there are too many homeless people on the border now, if you have to save them all, you can't save them no matter what, so we have to talk about some strategies!" β
"I want to hear about it!"
"It's a bit cruel to say this, but it's also something that can't be helped," Lin Feng said, "This king's method is to only save young and strong and adult children over the age of twelve......
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yanwu was full of anger, "King Han is not joking, right?!" Most of the homeless people are full of families, and there are even several generations of people in the same house, such as the strategy, there is really no humanity at all!! β
"This king is not joking - the widow said from the beginning, this is a helpless thing," Lin Feng refuted unceremoniously, "Now in this situation, either everyone will die together, or save the people who are easy to save," he looked at Gu Yanwu coldly, "Doing things is not something that can be done with words, relieving millions of Li people, its government affairs are complicated, where is it so easy, and this king does not have such a big cost, he can raise the whole family of the homeless people together." He glanced at Gu Yanwu, and suddenly smiled, "Of course the widow understands the bodhisattva's heart, but here is a word for you: The scholar misunderstands the country - has Mr. heard of it?!" β
Gu Yanwu was so angry that his beard trembled, since his article became famous, everyone in the world was polite when he saw it, who dared to insult him in person, at this moment Lin Feng was so rude, it was unheard of, he took a deep breath, barely suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Gu has been taught, and I ask King Han for advice!" β
"Be polite, polite, how dare this king advise Mr., Mr. Ningren is the best in the world, and the widow is reincarnated to study again, and he will never be able to catch up," Lin Feng grinned and said, "Don't be angry, didn't the sage say: the so-called threesome, there must be my teacher, this relief thing This king has also done it once, and with experience, it is normal for you to not be able to catch up with me in this regard!" β
Seeing that Gu Yanwu was stunned, Lin Feng picked up the tea bowl, "Come, come, drink tea!" ββIt's common for poor scholars to disagree, the old gentleman is a pedantic, can he still deal with our juniors? ! Seeing Gu Yanwu's anger gradually disappearing, Lin Feng put down the tea bowl and said sincerely, "Sir, don't be angry, although the strategy of the younger generation is cruel, it is the most practical method in front of you, and it is also the most profitable method for the displaced people - you see, we only have so much food, if we evenly distribute a pot of porridge and sprinkle it, in the end, everyone will not survive this winter, does Mr. really think that this king does not want to save people?!" He let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!" β
Gu Yanwu was shocked, in the end, he was a great Confucian in the world, and he stood up at the moment, bowed down deeply and apologized, "Old and pedantic and confused, Shicai actually misunderstood His Highness's deep meaning, ashamed, ashamed!" β
Lin Feng got up and saluted back, "If it is according to the strategy of this king, our Han will send officials to select young and strong men and women and boys among these homeless people, sign contracts with them, and then lend them rations, and then migrate to Liaodong Tuntian, outside the Guan, and after the harvest in the coming year, they will be returned one by one in each year," he looked at Gu Yanwu, "What does Mr. think?!" β
Gu Yanwu frowned and said, "What if these young people are unwilling to abandon the old and young patients?!" β
"The widow can't help it!" Lin Feng sighed, "This matter is voluntary, our big man will never use force!" β
"That'...... Dahan is really like Xu Liangtian outside the Guan? And so many seed farm tools?! β
"Thousands of miles of fertile fields outside the Guan, as long as they can endure hardships and cultivate, there is no problem with the determination of the fields," Lin Feng said with a smile, "As for the seed farming tools, there is no need for a widow to speak, those Jinhui merchants will naturally come to the door - last year, these money-lending businessmen made a big profit, and this year will naturally not let go of this opportunity!" β
Gu Yanwu was speechless, his expression extremely sad.
The atmosphere was solemn, and there was silence in the lobby for a while, Lin Feng coughed lightly and diverted the topic, "Mr. said that there are two things to teach the widow this time, so what is the other thing besides this homeless person?!" β
"Oh?! - Oops! Almost forgotten!! Gu Yanwu seemed to suddenly wake up, patted his forehead, took out a booklet from his sleeve, and presented it to Lin Feng with both hands.
"Mingyi to be interviewed"?! ......" Lin Feng lost his voice, then laughed dumbly, shook the cover, looked at Gu Yanwu, frowned, and said, "If the widow remembers correctly, this book should be written by Mr. Huang Zongxi, right?!" β
"It's written by Nan Lei...... Gu Yanwu was obviously even more surprised, he looked at Lin Feng blankly, he couldn't have imagined that this famous warlord would still pay so much attention to academic matters, he couldn't help but be in awe at the moment, and his words were also much more polite, "Your Highness really has a lot of knowledge!" β
"Mr. Huang Taichong is a big family in the world, famous broadcasters, although the widow is a martial artist, but he has often heard of it!" Lin Feng showed a strange look, pinched the book and asked, "Mr. gave me this book, do you want me to read it?!" β
"Yes!" Gu Yanwu said with a smile, "Taichong knew that I was going to meet the King of Han, so I asked someone to pass the word and bring this book to His Highness!" β
"Hehe, Mr. Taichong really looks up to me!" Lin Feng suddenly felt that he was not worried about his own personality, so he took his political views to test it, and laughed at the moment, "I don't know what Mr. thinks of this book?!" β
"Okay!" Speaking of knowledge, Gu Yanwu's spirit grew, stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "Pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, there are many surprises, and the charm is far-reaching!" β¦β¦β
"Really?!" Lin Feng flipped through it casually, "Tut, it's really interesting, 'the world is the main, the king is the guest'......; ', 'Industry and commerce'? ......" he looked up and said with a strange smile, "Mr. Nanlei is really a bit deviant!" Hey hey ......"
"The so-called law of the ancestors of Shanghu lawlessness, the people of my generation should bring forth the new and use it for the world!" Gu Yanwu said solemnly, "Blindly carving insects, picking chapters and choosing sentences, is it the way of learning?!" β
Lin Feng was really a little dizzy, is this still called "Great Confucian"? According to the legends of the rivers and lakes, these stupid people are 100% diehards, what kind of tricks and tricks do they have when they open their mouths and close their mouths, why did they turn around as soon as they came to me?! He smiled bitterly, "It seems that Mr. Ningren also means that?!" β
Gu Yanwu groaned slightly, and then nodded slowly, "The joints may be slightly different, but in general, there are still no differences!" β
Two reactionaries, Lin Feng pondered in his heart, these two people are dangerous, if you believe in them, then what will I, the king of Han, do? But now it's obviously not okay to pull them out and cut them down immediately, they are all well-known people in the end, and it's too disappointing to kill them.
Seeing Lin Feng silent, Gu Yanwu thought that he was greatly moved, in fact, he and Huang Zongxi were both national radicals, with full desire for reform, since they went to Lin Feng to implement a series of policies to liberalize industry and commerce, both of them were very interested, thinking that the King of Han should be able to support them to implement "administration", this time he came to Beijing, in fact, it can be regarded as a political temptation. Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be a little hesitant, he decided to strike while the iron was hot, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, if you are harsh for a long time today, the former Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all of them are foolish people's wisdom and bind the body of the people of the world, so that the remnants of the people are self-defeating, when the world is abolishing the imperial examination, opening up industry and commerce, building roads, building schools, and returning the government to the people of the world, Jun An's position, virtuous temples, and Shilin supervising the school, so that the government must be harmonious, and the city will be prosperous, and all the people of China will live and work in peace and contentment. β
Too reactionary, too reactionary! Lin Feng couldn't smile bitterly, seeing that Gu Yanwu's face was full of eagerness, it was also worth saying vaguely, "Ahem...... Cough...... Mr. is reasonable, reasonable! He smiled reluctantly, "But it's a big matter, how about letting the widow think twice?!" β
Gu Yanwu also knew that this kind of thing was really not in a hurry, and seeing that Lin Feng did not refute and refuse in person, he was also very happy, and immediately got up and said, "This matter is related to my future in China, I hope that the King of Han will think about it!" He made a gesture to Chen Menglei, who was sitting next to him, "Lord Zezhen, His Royal Highness the King of Han, Gu has been presumptuous and has been bothering for a long time, so I will leave!" β
"Oh, sir is polite, so polite!" Lin Feng personally congratulated him, turned his head and shouted, "Come on, take my carriage and horse honor guard, send an additional team, and protect the old gentleman back to the museum!" β
When Gu Yanwu stepped out of the door, Lin Feng turned around and waved his hand at Chen Menglei, "After you go back, let go of that Wu Weiye, compensate him a sum of silver, and say that our big man has handled the wrong case, I'm sorry for him, please don't care about him!" β
Chen Menglei was stunned and said, "This ...... Lord...... This matter ......"
"Forget it!" Lin Feng smiled helplessly, "People obviously put on the appearance of a national soldier, do you want the world to look down on me?!" β
