Chapter 789: Military Flag
In order to make the broad masses of people in Jiangnan quickly recognized, at the suggestion of Zhang Huangyan, Mo Zhinian and others, the pattern commonly used by merchants as mentioned above was used as the blueprint, and after several revisions, the following pattern was finally determined.
Because the General's Mansion is subordinate to the regime under the Yixing Dynasty, it is still the old Ming that is supported.
Therefore, the flag is composed of the pattern of the red sun and the yellow moon and the blue background, the blue background represents the blue sky, symbolizing the bright, noble and great personality and ambition of our Han nation.
The red sun is on the left, the yellow moon is on the right, and the moon hugs the sun. Being impartial in the middle of the flag is a reference to China's location in the Quartet.
The red sun means imperial power, the yellow moon means the people of the world, and the skin color of the Han people, the moon hugs the sun, meaning that the people of the world support the emperor, and the pattern is placed in the center, implying that the Ming Dynasty regards the interests of the Han people as the core interests.
The twelve rays of light around the moon and the sun pattern, that is, refer to the twelve hours of a day, twelve months of a year, and the light is located above the blue sky, indicating that the glorious moment of the Ming Dynasty is shining in all directions.
The four sharp corners in the red light refer to the four directions of up, down, left and right, that is, the meaning of "the heavens and the polar earth, no concubines", and also indicate the four dimensions of courtesy, righteousness and shame, and the four dimensions of the country, which is the moral norm of the Han people that has lasted for thousands of years.
The first "blue sky, red sun, yellow moon" flag was raised in the General's Mansion with the sound of 24 cannon salutes.
Looking at the rising flag, the officials and people who watched the ceremony and the businessmen from all over the world who were invited to the ceremony all looked solemn, not knowing whether they were immersed by the solemnity of the flag-raising, or afraid of the loud sound of 24 cannons.
But one thing is certain, from today onwards, this flag will fly in the sky above the land of the Six Mansions, and it will be farther and farther away, more and more, and more and more ...... Awe-inspiring!
……。
"Zheng'er, you should respond?!" Wu Bochang frowned slightly and said, "Several adults in the General's Mansion have gone to the academy to meet and give speeches to the students, so why don't you show up." ”
Wu Bochang was also forced by the students and teachers.
This is not surprising, in the land of the six mansions, I don't know that Wu Bochang is the general's father, I'm afraid there are really few.
Whether it is a student who admires Wu Zheng, or a teacher who wants to see Wu Zheng to seek a shortcut to enter the ranks, Wu Bochang will be their breakthrough.
But how much ink is in his stomach, Wu Zheng knows very well in his heart, and he knows it.
Wu Zheng didn't want to lose face, if he really wanted to talk about the wind and snow and the moon, and chanting poetry, Wu Zheng was really not the opponent of those scholars and teachers.
Therefore, Wu Zheng could only not answer, and only cared about bowing his head to eat.
Master Wu was annoyed when he saw that his son was not angry.
He put the rice bowl in his hand on the table, "Good boy, you can't call you, can you?" ”
Bian Zhou Simin hurriedly said: "Father-in-law is angry, it is rare for the husband to go home, and the family has a reunion dinner, it should be happy...... I think my husband is also busy with official business, not because he doesn't obey his father-in-law...... Husband, right? ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Wu Bochang snorted: "Is it easy for your father and me to lead eight hundred scholars to teach those five or six thousand naughty boys?" You clap your hands and be a shopkeeper, and let your father and I roast on the stove...... Okay, let you show up, you shouldn't be angry? ”
Wu Zheng said: "Dad, you dissipate your anger, can't I respond?" …… In this way, I will pick a free time to go. ”
"When?" Wu Bochang asked, how can he not know what kind of character he gave birth to?
Wu Zheng was forced into a corner, and could only say: "Within three, five, or seven days." ”
"Is it three days, five days, or seven days?"
"Uh...... Seven days. ”
"Three days."
"Five days."
"Okay, deal." Wu Bochang's wish was fulfilled, he picked up the bowl, put the bamboo chopsticks in his right hand on the table, and ate it in a big gulp.
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, daring to have a meal at home, and it turned out to be a transaction.
Thinking of this, Wu Zheng confessed to his father, put down the bowl and walked to the courtyard, taking a deep breath.
At this time, a voice came from behind him, "Brother." ”
Wu Zheng turned around and saw Wu Xiaomei standing behind him with a stack of clothes in her hand, so she asked with a smile, "My sister is also finished eating so soon?" ”
Wu Xiaomei smiled reluctantly and responded, "Hmm...... Seeing that it was already winter, I made a new set of clothes for my brother. ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Your brother is already the king of the county, so you don't have to do it ......yourself." ”
Wu Xiaomei was a little worried, and said: "Why, my brother became the king of the county, so he disliked the clothes made by his sister?" ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, yes, how could he be like this today, and hurriedly said: "How can it be, my brother just feels sorry for my sister's tiredness, and if I didn't hurt my slender hands and eyes, then my brother's sin will be great...... Okay, this set of warm brand clothes brother will accept it. ”
This is really true, at this time, the people of Jiangnan, if there are girls in the family, basically at the age of five or six began to learn weaving, embroidery, and red painting, and red painting is for proofing and then learning tailoring.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when girls began to earn more wages than men, embroidery was a very profitable business at that time, but because there was no electric light at that time, the light was not good, women worked for many years, day and night, often to the age of 20, eyesight is basically no longer competent for embroidery fine work, so they can only weave and weave, make clothes for their families, and Nana soles.
Wu Xiaomei's face looked a lot better, and she smiled: "What kind of warm brand clothes?" ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "The clothes made by relatives are warm in your heart." ”
Wu Xiaomei laughed out loud.
Wu Zheng saw that she was happy, so he persuaded: "Although the General's Mansion does not hire tailors, it is not that there are no clothes to wear, it is a big deal to buy ready-to-wear clothes, my sister is now learning to teach and educate people with her father, and if she has a flaw, she will rest more or go to the street to relax...... Belch. ”
Wu Zheng found that Wu Xiaomei's face darkened again, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, what's wrong?
Wu Xiaomei said hesitantly: "Brother, I don't want to teach anymore." ”
Wu Zheng was taken aback, frowned, and said, "Could it be that someone in the academy bullied you and gave you a look?" Tell my brother, my brother will be angry for you! ”
Wu Xiaomei shook her head and was silent.
Wu Zheng asked tentatively, "Could it be that you are tired?" Then rest for a few days. ”
Wu Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "There are now eight or nine hundred teachers in the academy, and all of them are well-educated, although I can handle these teenage children by teaching them, but ......." ”
Wu Zheng understood, this is really no wonder.
Although Wu Xiaomei said that she was also literate from Father Wu, she was a good child after all, and she never even went to private school.
But now the faculty members of the academy are all former dynasty lifters and jinshi, at least they are also talents.
In such a comparison, Wu Xiaomei is naturally under pressure, and it is reasonable to be depressed.
