There is a place where Du Fu used to drink tea;

There is a place where Li Bai once rubbed hemp.

This place is the open-air tea garden on the riverside streets and alleys of Chengdu Mansion.

On the bank of the river, a simple cloth carriage quietly drove into a small riverside courtyard.

This yard sells porridge in the summer and simmered soup in the winter; When you eat, it's a restaurant, and when you don't eat, it's a tea plantation. It is adjacent to the river bank, with a wide view, green waves bring gusts of breeze, and paulownia leaves cover a large area of coolness, which is a good place to spend summer and escape the heat. Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong secretly drank tea here last summer, and they felt good together, so Zhu Pingjin rushed to Furentang to pick up his wife and came here, which can be regarded as a revisit.

The garden had long been cleared, and the meal was ready. The two got out of the car and sat down, and Cao Sanbao, who was familiar with the house, began to shout at the boss to serve the food.

"Oops! The old body somehow hit the luck today, and he actually saw the prince and Miss Luo! ”

An old woman with crimson rouge on her face laughed and pounced, but was quickly stopped by the guards, who kowtowed through the gap between their legs.

"You're Granny Feng!"

"Oh, the prince is really a god, just guess it! The old husband's family name is Feng, and his maiden name is Li! ”

Luo Yuhong motioned to her husband, and Zhu Pingjin raised her hand and asked her to get up and speak.

"Didn't Mr. Sun rent your house before? What's the matter, he still owes you rent? ”

"Oh, the prince and Miss Luo are the golden boy and jade girl in front of the Bodhisattva's throne, Mr. Sun is now following the prince and Miss Luo, how can he also be a literary star in the sky, how can he owe the rent of the old body? Tsk, Qingniang is really a blessing to marry such a gentleman who knows cold and hot and has great skills! ”

Mrs. Feng wanted to say something funny, but Zhu Pingjin asked about another thing: "Mr. Sun's family, do you still live in your house?" ”

"Not really!"

Speaking of the Sun family's renting a house, Mrs. Feng was happy, because she was trying to use this to get closer to the relationship with the prince and Miss Luo.

"They have a large family of grandchildren, and they have a total of five rooms. Mr. Sun is the only son of the long house, but how can his cousin and uncle have a large family, how can they live in a few ancestral old houses? Oh, they are all neighbors for several lifetimes, and when the old man saw his family crowded, it was really uncomfortable, so he rented a few houses to them cheaply, and confiscated a few coppers......"

"What about Mr. Sun's cousins? What do you do? ”

"Oh, Mr. Sun's brothers don't have Mr. Sun's skills! There are two who have gone to school, but they are not famous!

I heard that the boss of the second room family is going to participate in this year's Shu exam, look at his nerdy appearance, it is estimated that he is the fate of Sun Shan!

The second child of the three-room family has been smart and clever since he was a child, but unfortunately he didn't do his job properly and ran to the fertilizer company as a manager. The old man originally thought that the manager was a serious profession, but one day at the corner of the street, he saw him directing a dung truck to go around the ground, beating gongs and drums and shouting about fecal and urine separation...... Bah, it turned out to be a and urine officer who collects feces and water!

It's not as good as the cub of the four-room family. The cub followed the merchant on a trip to Tibet, and on the way back, somehow hooked up with a villager from Guankou (Note 1). Although it is said to be in the redundancy, it is also a serious relative of the emperor!

There are only the two youngest in the fifth room, and when they heard that Luzhou Wangzhuang was doing things, they were not big officials. The old man heard the fifth sister-in-law say that she didn't come back during the Spring Festival this year, but she just asked people to bring a few things and a letter back...... The fifth sister-in-law rolled her eyes angrily, and said that she was going to find Mr. Sun and said that Mr. Sun's family had been eating at her house a lot in those years......

Hey, look at the old body's stinky mouth, what are you doing with these old things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains to the prince and Miss Luo! ”

"The plaque at the entrance of the courtyard 'two horses in the same trough', but Mr. Sun's handwriting?"

"Not really!"

Speaking of that plaque, Mrs. Feng's rouge face almost burst into laughter.

"Isn't the same trough a Feng character? No wonder the prince of the world will look down on Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun's belly is really big about knowledge! Many scholars smiled when they looked at this plaque, and now there are the most scholars in this courtyard on weekdays......

They all want to touch Mr. Sun's temperament, but which of them is comparable to Mr. Sun! People say that men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. The vision of the young lady is different from ours, the big girl who is like a flower and jade, and she has her eyes on Mr. Sun at a glance!

At that time, Mr. Sun was so poor that he had no fame after eight or nine years of the exam! After eating the last meal and not the next meal, he pointed to the bookstore and sold Wen for 100 coppers. Now Mr. Sun is very generous, wrote a plaque, and the old man thinks about what kind of pen fee to pay for filial piety. As a result, Mr. Sun's face sank, and he left without taking half a copper......"

……

drove away the rapping Feng Pozi, and the world was immediately cleaned.

The river flows slowly and unhurriedly, dragging the willow branches soaked in the water straight, and also attracting a cool breeze with the smell of water.

On the smooth and shiny bluestone table, there are only four side dishes: shredded potatoes, vinegared cucumbers, eggplant dipped in eggplant, and pickled peppers.

Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong did not speak, and each drank porridge and vegetables. Luo Yuhong, who was impatient, couldn't hold back and took the lead in opening her mouth.

"Are you here to invite me to dinner, or are you here to go deep into the grassroots to inspect the cadres?"

"Both."

Zhu Pingjin had already finished drinking the porridge, put down the bowl and replied:

"The accurate information I just got that Zuo Liangyu's army set off from Yuncheng and Runing Mansion, that is, near Luohe and Zhumadian, and went to Kaifeng. According to the trend of history, there is no doubt that Zuo Liangyu was defeated, and he was defeated very badly.

In addition to the Protector Army, there are currently only three combat effective military groups left in the Ming Dynasty: the Left Army, the Qin Army, and the Guanning Army.

Guan Ningjun was nailed to death by the fourth elder brother in Shanhaiguan and couldn't move, the Qin army was defeated in Xiangcheng and Xiangcheng and suffered a big loss, Sun Chuanting was still rectifying and supplementing, and he couldn't go out of the customs to fight in the short term. So as soon as Zuo Liangyu was defeated, Li Zicheng's front was open. He would flood Kaifeng, then go south to Hubei, fight the Yangtze River, and finally claim the throne in Xiangyang. ”

"You've had a whole day meeting to discuss this? Xiaohong muttered in my ear for a day, saying that Song Da would change his mind, it would be easy to have a Dragon Boat Festival, and there was no news......"

Zhu Pingjin knew that his wife wanted to inquire about Song Zhenzong's application for marriage for Xiaohong, and even Song Zhenzong's application for marriage to Xiaohong may have been instigated by his wife. But this matter is still being studied and there is no conclusion, so he followed his usual style and did not accept it easily.

Zhu Pingjin continued along the topic just now:

"I can't watch Hubei and Hunan being occupied by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong! I want to occupy a base there, and then teach him a profound lesson, so as not to smash Sichuan, which has been restored so easily, again!

There is a lack of a leading prison army there, and I am ready to send Sun Hong over. Among my ministers, Sun Hong's political acumen is unparalleled, his ability to fight cultural is unparalleled, and he is a good hand in charge of ideology. But Sun Hong has an obvious shortcoming: he is timid and afraid of things, and he killed someone once because his wife was humiliated. I'm going to train him on the battlefield so that he doesn't just be a good person......"

"Xiaoyun is still so young, and you ......" Luo Yuhong muttered dissatisfiedly as she listened to her husband talk about Sun Hong. Suddenly, she blinked her eyes and asked, "You don't worry about Sun Hong?" ”

"Sun Hong is now in charge of the promotion of battalion-level cadres, and in the future, when the status of the Military Aircraft Department is promoted, he, the commander of the army, will be equivalent to being demoted......

Now that the size of the armed forces is getting bigger and bigger, the power to appoint and dismiss cadres at the battalion level is bound to be delegated. He went to the theater command as the chief army, and his power will only be greater, not smaller.

Battalion level, that's a critical level. Cadres were promoted to the battalion level, and as soon as the unit was expanded, it became a regiment and brigade level......

He is in charge of the subordinates, and we are in charge of him, which is the logic of hierarchical management of cadres. It has nothing to do with trusting or not. The more you trust, the more you have to reuse, and the more you have to inspect it yourself.

Sun Hong's own life is very simple and he never stretches out his hand. His wife and concubine are also honest, but his family ...... I'm worried that it might be his weakness, so I'm going to find out for myself.

Most of the foreign officials of the imperial court, such as supervisors, governors, governors, and inspectors, all carry the official titles of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, at least at the level of members and members of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection...... Hmph, you should take it, you shouldn't take the same, and you have to fight in order to take more and take less. Such a corrupt dynasty is intolerable if it does not perish! ”

"That's what gave us a chance!" Luo Yuhong stared at Zhu Pingjian, "You are the lord of a country, you must not be a woman at this time!" ”

"I'm not going to be soft. After Quanjiazhai, my fragile nerves have gradually strengthened. It's strange to say, the dead have seen a lot, so they don't feel terrible. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Pingjin sighed softly: "At the latest, after the autumn harvest in September and October at the latest, I will secretly set off to Lizhou, Hunan, set up a bank in Huayang Palace, and command the army outside Sichuan to fight nearby." Sending Sun Hong and He Youyi over first also means letting them stand for me...... When the time comes, this part of the family will still have to work hard for you. ”

"Husband and wife for so long, finally know your wife's good!" Luo Yuhong twisted her body and glanced at her husband, and in a blink of an eye, a smile appeared on her face.

"The final report from Chongqing has come out, do you know how much stolen money Wang Yingxiong's old embezzler has hidden?"

"Liu Zhibo and Zheng Anmin didn't say ......"

"After all, they are officials, and they are not as sensitive as Li Maoquan, the master, in terms of money. A few days ago, when Li Maoquan was auditing the account books, he found that many people in Chongqing had a large proportion of gold and silver in their cellars, and some of them were close to one to one. He analyzed the reasons, first, gold is more convenient than silver for bulk business; The second is that Sichuan originally produced gold. Over time, the gold will settle into the hands of those big corrupt officials and profiteers (Note 2)......"

"When the situation changes, gold is better than silver! King Jing is in Qizhou, and the floating wealth left behind is basically gold! ”

"You're right! Most of what Wang Yingxiong's family copied out was silver, but what about gold? Therefore, Li Maoquan demanded a retrial from Chongqing in the name of the Audit Bureau. Jiang Dingzhen communiqued a personal vendetta and took the opportunity to punish Wang Yingxi and Wang Yangxi.

As a result, the uncle was not as tough as the nephew, and Wang Yingxi recruited first......

A full 50,000 taels of gold, all cast into large gold bricks, were built on the brick wall in the backyard of the Wang family's house!

Jiangding Town Road, it should have been a long time to build in, the bricks are pressed very tightly, and the surface mortar and the cracks of the bricks are all covered with moss. If Wang Yingxi doesn't recruit, the soldiers can't find out!

These people want money and don't want their lives, and they really have a crooked brain......

I think you're right this time, not their robbers, I'm sorry for my conscience! I have already ordered Jiang Ding Town to re-interrogate all those involved, and the focus is to dig up the gold in the cellar! ”

"They keep their money because they want to use it one day to turn the sky upside down! So this time, in addition to arresting people, we also have to raid homes! Those who killed them only took their lives; If you take their money, you cut off their roots! Cutting the grass without removing the roots, that is a self-retained trouble! ”

"You used to say that Zhang Xianzhong finally robbed 150 million taels of silver, I think it's a fantasy and a fool's dream. Now I understand, there's a good chance it's true! The Ming Dynasty was really rich, and really

Very poor! It's up to you who you are. The court, the government, and the people were poor; Officials, gentry and merchants were rich. I estimate that the Gini of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be lower than 0.9! ”

"Zhang Xianzhong is different from Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng attached more importance to military horses, and when he was in danger, he would throw silver and flee for his life. Li Zicheng attaches more importance to the people's hearts, and whenever he encounters refugees, he will solicit them with silver.

Zhang Xianzhong wants military horses, women, and silver. Killing is instinct, and sprinkling silver is a strategy. When the city of Xiangyang was broken, Zhang Xianzhong used King Xiang's silver and grain to make a big favor, and until now the people of Xiangyang are still quietly worshipping him. If we rush into the area, it will be tantamount to entering enemy-occupied territory......

Some people think that they are all thieves, so they talk nonsense (Note 3).

From this, it can be imagined that Zhang Xianzhong is more brutal than Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng's ideals are more lofty than Zhang Xianzhong. I may have to adjust the priority level, starting with the more dangerous Li Zicheng first, and by the way, picking up Zuo Liangyu......"

Luo Yuhong added fuel to the vinegar and said so much, Zhu Pingjin was still talking about his political and military struggle. Luo Yuhong finally couldn't help it, she glared at Zhu Pingjian, and said angrily: "Aren't you usually quite smart?" Why don't you understand what I mean today! ”

"Because I understand, I don't want to take it!"

Zhu Pingjin sighed heavily and said: "You are turning around and talking so much, that is, Wang Yingxiong's family has 50,000 taels of gold, and how come the Shu Wangfu, which is known as the rich world, only has the 7,000 taels in my father's courtyard?" This doesn't make sense! Right? However, I asked Cao Sanbao, Chen En also tortured him to extract a confession, and there is indeed no gold hidden in the house, I am afraid you will be disappointed......"

"I don't take gold for my own wear. Regardless of the past and present life, since I married you Zhu Pingjin, I have never let you buy any valuable jewelry! ”

Luo Yuhong shook the Jin Chuan on her wrist, touched the gold chain on her neck, shook the golden phoenix on her head, shook the gold pendant in her ear, and said to Zhu Pingjin confidently:

"I intend to add a weight of gold to the reserves of the banknotes, and the price of gold and silver will be one to sixteen. In this way, our silver money will be stronger, and we can issue more banknotes for the next industrial revolution......"

Zhu Pingjin sneered and interrupted his wife's nagging: "You always like to play when you talk to me, layer by layer, interlocking!" If I want to guess, this batch of yellow goods may be hidden in the big villa in Qingcheng Mountain. Why don't you write a secret letter to your dad and let him have time to search the villa. Remember, don't be blatant and don't make a big show! Be sure to choose in the dead of night or when the sand is flying, cover your face and wear a night suit......"

"Whew! You're a thief in our whole family! ”

Note 1: Among the women of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial daughter was the princess, the royal daughter was the county lord, the county princess was the county lord, and the county monarch, the county monarch, and the township monarch were again the county monarch.

Note 2: There is a historical basis for the large proportion of gold and silver stored by vassal kings, high-ranking officials and gentry in the caveats of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhang Xianzhong sacked the palace of the king of Chu, and the history recorded "500,000 gold and silver each". Some historians read the book of Wangtian and directly came to the conclusion that "one million taels of silver were obtained".

Note 3: Writing this, Hibiki really couldn't help it, and complained a few words indiscriminately.

1. In the past few decades, individual historians have ignored all historical materials, taken words out of context, and arbitrarily invented history.

Taking the study of Ming history as an example, there are two typical ones: one is Guo Dongfeng. Ten gongs, nine with him. But everything he does can't stand up to scrutiny, and what he does is the opposite of rigorous study. Specific examples will not be listed one by one, and book lovers can judge for themselves; The second is Yao. In his writing, Li Zicheng is the late Ming Dynasty version of a certain contemporary revolutionary great. All the historical records of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's massacre, killing, and torture were all trampled under his feet, or he found 10,000 reasons to justify him. Historical figures, often very complex, can neither be separated from the context of the times, nor from their own experiences. Li Zicheng is like this, and Zhang Xianzhong is the same, and it is impossible to make a face.

2. The recent incident about the sinking silver at the mouth of the Pengshan River has caused a lot of uproar (one of the reasons why Zhu Pingjin chose to fight the Niujiaozhai bandits in the Jiangkou is this. If you guess the second reason, please leave a message! ）。 The matter of Jiangkou sinking silver is not a secret at all, and the old Chengdu people have known it for generations. In addition to the Jiangkou Shenyin, there is also the Jiuyan Bridge Shenyin, and the number of Shenyin is "Wanwanwu".

The ridiculous thing is that for decades historians have been killed and disbelieved, but farmers have believed it. As a result, the peasants won, and the historians lost.

Why?

Because historians (including individual archaeologists) set up mine detectors (metal detectors) on iron ships to sweep back and forth the riverbed. I have been looking for several years, and the historian's hands have never been wet (this is a literary exaggeration).

But the peasants did not have mine detectors. In order to make money, the farmers learned not only to swim in one night, but also to dive in one night. Please note that it is a night dive with a large iron hoe in the main channel of the Min River (this is not a literary exaggeration)!

3. In China's traditional culture, history has always been a prominent study, and literature and history are a family. As a result, decades later, history was made a last-class discipline by historians who copied me, I copied you, and everyone copied each other. I heard that the call for the abolition of history in middle schools has been very loud, since the college entrance examination is not examined, it is difficult to find a job after graduation, so there is a fart to learn!

Xiang Mu sincerely thanked Hong Kong independence and Taiwan independence, and thanked Captain Touching Jin, because what they did was tantamount to showing up and saying the truth, showing the whole society and the whole nation a terrifying possibility: If we arbitrarily ignore history and wantonly distort history, what will happen to our society in the future!

Once again, I would like to thank the captains of Hong Kong independence, Taiwan independence, and the Touching Gold. Without them, perhaps historiography would really be abolished.
