Chapter 41: Lu Lang, why are you hiding it from me?
Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly: "What confidant, have you ever seen a confidante named Erniu who has read poetry and books, and is still willing to sleep in the same bed with me, a businessman?" It's just me in the room, and you yourself let me accept it for the sake of showing virtuous virtue. ”
"In that case, who is the person who wrote this poem?" Tang Ying asked.
Lu Yuan got up and sat opposite Tang Ying: "Can you put your mind on business, why bother with who made this poem, do you know him and want to elope with him?" ”
"Lu Lang! You! ”
Tang Ying glared at Lu Yuan, pouting and not speaking.
"Well, even if I said the wrong thing, don't be angry, I'll get down to business for you now, do you know what you're going to do next?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Tang Ying heard Lu Yuan's question, and also replied seriously: "Go and offer tea to Mrs. An, this is the due gift of the bride." ”
"This is a trivial matter, it's not worth saying, I'm asking if you have any plans to do anything big here in the future, such as don't you like poetry, build a academy, peach and plum all over the world or something."
Lu Yuan originally wanted to talk about building a university, but after thinking about it, he felt that Tang Ying might not understand, so he expressed it in a different way.
Tang Ying was a little surprised when he heard this: "Lu Lang, preaching and receiving a job, this is all what the old men do." ”
"Who stipulated that this is something that only old men can do, if you are willing to do it, I also support it, but now it is a bit unrealistic to say this, so let's do it, you have also read, and now you are my wife, so you can't help me do these things, let me arrange you, how about it?"
Lu Yuan got up and thought about it and said.
"I listen to Lu Lang", Tang Ying replied.
In ancient times, people did not strictly follow the etiquette norms to humble themselves, and they would also use them for daily communication in the way of you and me, so Tang Ying did not call himself a concubine here.
Lu Yuan took out his personnel file and handed it to Tang Ying: "Okay, now you are the head of my Lu family, this is the details of the people who are in charge of the Lu family now, you can take a look first." ”
Tang Ying can recognize words, so naturally he doesn't need Lu Yuan to read again, and Lu Yuan knows that the reading and writing habits of this era are to read and write vertically from right to left, so Lu Yuan also uses this way to write things, so Tang Ying can read and understand quickly, and is a little surprised after reading it: "Lu Lang, what are you going to do, how do you list civil and military?" ”
"Self-defense, for now, is the purpose, to defend oneself and one's homeland."
Lu Yuan didn't directly say that he would dominate the world in the future, because he was afraid of scaring Tang Ying.
"Self-defense? What does Lu Lang mean that the Lu family is in danger? Tang Ying asked with some concern, although she knew that the Lu family was not a famous family, but it was also considered wealthy, and she would not be like her own family that she might inevitably be implicated in court politics, nor would she worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters that would cause the fields to be harvested, so Lu Yuan's statement that he wanted to defend himself made her feel a little strange.
"To be exact, it's not that the Lu family is in danger, it's that this Taiping world is in jeopardy, it's that now this Daming Jiangshan Mansion will collapse, the so-called nest, there are no eggs, if we don't plan early now, even if there is a rich world in the future, it will become the soul of someone else."
Lu Yuan said solemnly.
Tang Ying frowned a little and raised his forehead: "What does Lu Lang want to do with this, Jiangshan Sheji has its own government of the DPRK and the Central Government, they are all pillars of the country, there must be good strategies, why don't you and I worry about the sky here, we can serve our parents with peace of mind, and keep the family and etiquette." ”
"Before the Jingkang Revolution in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Jin soldiers invaded the south, I was afraid that Li Qingzhao would have the same idea as you, and only after the country broke and the family declined, he only knew how to write a few declining poems to relieve his sorrows."
Lu Yuan smiled.
Tang Ying said: "But Li Qingzhao is just a daughter's family, what can she do." ”
"Isn't Liang Hongyu also her daughter's family, why can she and her husband Han Shizhong kill the retired Jin soldiers and protect the peace for the people."
As soon as Lu Yuan asked, Tang Ying was stunned and did not refute Lu Yuan.
And Lu Yuan knew that he and Tang Ying were now married, which meant that each other's interests were tied together, and the first person he had to convince if he wanted to do anything was Tang Ying.
If Tang Ying didn't have the same idea as himself, then he would not be able to achieve his goal of dominating the world at all.
After all, the family is the most basic unit of human society, and without the support of the family, it is really a one-man job, even if he has the knowledge that surpasses this era for hundreds of years, it will not help.
Therefore, Lu Yuan continued to persuade Tang Ying and said:
"In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, in the battle of Salhu, the Ming army was wiped out and defeated by Jiannu;
In the first year of the Apocalypse, Jiannu successively captured Shenyang and Liaoyang, the important towns of Liaodong, and then Guangning was lost, and the land of Liaodong was lost to domestic slaves.
In the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu made a detour to Mongolia, entered the customs from Da'ankou, plundered countless people in Gyeonggi, killed countless people, besieged the capital, and finally left.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered the customs from Datong and Xuanhua, broke through countless villages and forts, and killed and plundered countless people.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiannu Azig entered the customs and plundered, conquered 12 cities, plundered nearly 180,000 people and animals, and slaughtered countless people.
This is just Jiannu, and then look at the rogue:
In the first year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin of Shaanxi Fugu, Wang Daliang of Hannan, and Gao Yingxiang of Ansai led the hungry people to rebel.
Then in the third year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others also rebelled successively, and in just three years, there were more than 100 rebels and thieves in Shaanxi.
In the four years of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and other thieves have reached more than 200,000, and now they have flowed from Shaanxi to Shanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and other places.
My Ming Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, and the court also spent money and food, but the slaves could not be defeated, and the thieves could not be killed, but the people were more and more difficult to live, and taxes were levied several times, not only the common people were hungry and cold, and the family of the giant family would be looted if they did not form a village to protect themselves, and the family would be ruined. ”
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he directly poured a sip of tea, and then didn't care about wiping off the water stains on the side of his mouth and continued to ask Tang Ying:
"Do you think that if you really go to Jiannu and plunder to Shandong, and the thieves flow to Linqing, the soldiers and horses of the court can stop them, and the princes of the court can save us?"
Tang Ying sat up straight, holding the silk handkerchief tightly with both hands, and was a little flustered in his heart, but he still asked with some surprise: "Lu Lang, how do you know so much?" ”
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was worthy of reading the book, and he thought that if he listed the things that had happened like this, Tang Ying would really get nervous, and hurriedly asked himself what to do, but he didn't expect that people would directly doubt himself, and look at himself like a monster.
"Some of them are known to me from others, and some things I asked someone to buy from the yamen to read the newspaper, Donglin Academy doesn't have a vice couplet to say, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything has to be cared about."
Lu Yuan began to talk nonsense.
Tang Ying nodded, snorted, believed Lu Yuan's words, and only said in his heart: "Lu Lang, you are really not an ordinary businessman's son, no wonder you can write such good poems, and you are so socially minded, worried about the world, and have insight into the current situation, not a muddy person, but why do you hide it from me, refuse to admit your outstanding literary talent, and why don't you take the road of the imperial examination, is it really because you have no confidence in the current imperial court?" ”
