Chapter 39 Leaving Beijing to take up his post
Sure enough, Xu Guangqi was anxious when he heard it, he belonged to the kind of person who has a strong desire to learn about unknown things, and hurriedly grabbed Guo Zhiyuan's arm, almost in a pleading tone: "Guo Gongzi, Chaowen said, Xi can die, Gongzi said half of this, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than killing Zaixia......."
Guo Zhiyuan sold enough passes, and then said slowly: "Democracy refers to the state system that jointly manages state affairs within a certain class range and in accordance with the principles of equality and the minority obeying the majority. ……”。
Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up, looking at Guo Zhiyuan's eyes became more and more hot, in this dynasty where the monarch had to die, if Guo Zhiyuan said everything unheard of and unbelievable was said to others, even if it was his cheap father Guo Zhengyu, he would treat him as a crooked heresy and hated it, and Xu Guangqi, a pioneer who had a strong ability to accept new things, was like an ascetic who was so dry in the desert that his throat was about to smoke suddenly encountered nectar from heaven.
However, Xu Guangqi seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he stood up and paced back and forth anxiously in the room, and sighed: "This Western country has strong ships and guns, firearms are so powerful, and there is such an enlightened form of government, how can I be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, if it is a big attack, my Ming will be in danger!" This... How can this be good?! ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan wants such an effect, for an intellectual like Xu Guangqi, if you lure him with profit, he will never be moved, only with the survival of the country and the great righteousness of the nation, can he really touch his heart, and what he just said is also deliberately exaggerated, although the germ of democracy has appeared in Europe at this time, but the real establishment of the system of separation of powers is still very early, Montesquieu's "On the Spirit of Law" was published after 1748.
And he did this to stimulate Xu Guangqi's sense of national crisis, and at the same time to plant a seed in the heart of Xu Guangqi, a pioneer in learning Western culture, even if Xu Guangqi could not be used for himself, at least he could wake up the advanced intellectuals of this era earlier, or let the crow. The tragedy of the war no longer happened, so he stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too anxious, I am an outstanding Chinese person, and the Western countries and China are far away from the ocean, and it is not easy to come to the city, as long as we can be angry and strong from now on, and master the skills of the master to control the country, it may not be that there is no power to fight!" ……”。
"Master Yi's long skills to control Yi!" Guo Zhiyuan's words were like a lightning bolt in the night, instantly illuminating Xu Guangqi's heart in confusion, and also causing Xu Guangqi to fall into a long shock, so that Guo Zhiyuan didn't even react when he got up to say goodbye, Guo Zhiyuan sighed secretly, it seems that it is impossible for him to recruit Xu Guangqi into his command, fortunately, the seeds have been planted, and one day they will take root and sprout.
Originally, Guo Zhengyu hoped that Guo Zhiyuan would go to work after the Spring Festival, but the officials issued two official documents in a row, asking Guo Zhiyuan to arrive before the Spring Festival, otherwise he would be asked to be responsible for slacking off.
But Guo Zhiyuan doesn't care about this, he can't wait to set off immediately, he is in the capital, but his heart has flown to Gutian, which will be the base of his rise in this era, and he will start his own Wang Tu hegemony there, thinking of these, he feels that his blood is about to boil.
But there are a lot of things to prepare for the appointment, first of all, the entanglement along the way is not a small amount, in order to save Guo Zhengyu, Guo Zhiyuan used almost all the cash in the family, and Guo Zhengyu also has to go to work after the Spring Festival, and he also needs to be entangled, and finally Guo Zhengyu can only sell some of the land under his name, make up 800 taels of silver, give Guo Zhiyuan 500 taels, and only keep 300 taels.
But these five hundred taels are also a little tight, the purchase of horses, carriages and utensils along the way used nearly two hundred taels, and so many people on the way to eat, drink, pull, sprinkle, sleep is also a lot of expenses, it is estimated that there are no three melons and two dates left in Gutian, as the so-called not a family does not know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, when Guo Zhiyuan was saving Guo Zhengyu before, a shot was a few hundred taels of silver tickets, and now it hurts a little bit when I think about it.
Fortunately, at this time, someone sent charcoal in the snow, and the prince Zhu Changluo sent someone to send a thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that it was a coil for Guo Zhiyuan, it was obvious that Zhu Changluo had not given up and wanted to continue to recruit Guo Zhiyuan, this thousand taels of silver tickets Guo Zhiyuan naturally smiled honestly and unceremoniously, as for Zhu Changluo, the future "January Son of Heaven", he didn't take it to heart, with the appearance of his little butterfly, Zhu Changluo can finally be the emperor or not.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Guo Zhiyuan went to the official department to get his official identity official letter, purchased official uniforms, chose a good day with a good wind and sun, and officially set off. Daguan and Shen Lingyu really kept their word to vote, and at this time they followed behind the team in a carriage, Zhang Cheng rode a horse majestically in front of him with a long knife on his waist, and Wang Xi took a few family members to guard both sides of the carriage with a sentry stick, making Guo Zhiyuan's team look a little imposing.
Guo Zhengyu sent it again and again, holding Guo Zhiyuan's hand and telling him thousands of times, although he knew that this was a cheap father's heart of a boxing and loving son, Guo Zhiyuan, whose heart had already flown thousands of miles away, was still a little impatient, and he also didn't like this sad atmosphere of parting, and said with a strong smile: "Dad, don't send it anymore, you will go out of the city if you send it again, your instructions to the child have been recorded, the child has grown up and can take care of himself, Daddy doesn't need to worry about the child, but Daddy, you have to take care of your own ......body."
Guo Zhengyu looked at his son with satisfaction, the huge Adam's apple trembled up and down excitedly, yes, his son has grown up, and he is no longer the gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun before, he can't let him live under his wings forever, now he has a broader sky, this young eagle has to go through the wind and rain in life alone to grow up after all! One day, my son will become the eagle with wings spread and become his greatest pride!
Sent out of the Xuanwu Gate, Guo Zhengyu stopped and waved goodbye to Guo Zhiyuan, which allowed Guo Jingzhong to help himself turn around, looking at the back of the cheap father, Guo Zhiyuan's tears fell!
Wiping away his tears and shaking off his sadness, Guo Zhiyuan resolutely turned his head, there were still too many difficulties and obstacles waiting for him to surpass on the road ahead, and suddenly his eyes froze suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief!
