Zhu Hongsan was born at the grassroots level, and in order to fool the Ma family into his chariot, he sealed many officials and made many wishes. In order to win the support of the majority of literati in Guangdong, he even moved out the virtual monarch reality system of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although this made Zhu Hongsan's early development very smooth, a large number of literati in the north were attracted by the loose political system of the Shenwu court and worked for Zhu Hongsan as an official.

However, with the increase of territory, Zhu Hongsan found more and more that Xiangquan was a constraint on himself. As a descendant, Zhu Hongsan knew that if he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of 300 years later, this society needed to be flexible. However, Zhu Hongsan now finds himself in a strange circle, if he wants to have the ability to change China, he must occupy the whole country, and if he wants to occupy the whole country, he must first defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if he wants to defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he must rely on these literati, but if he depends on this group of literati, he must not want to change the existing China.

In Guangdong, Zhu Hongsan realized this, so he spent a lot of effort to support the new literati who were influenced by him, such as Chen Zilong, Zhang Jiayu, Zhang Huangyan, and that Qian bereaved love. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan is also planning to tighten the monarchy in his hands, but the scholar group headed by Ma Mingyuan is not dry, and every time there is a conflict between the monarchy and the prime minister, Zhu Hongsan is defeated.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the distant crown prince Zhu Hai, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "This is the successor he has chosen, and he has completely become the spokesperson of those stinky old nines, has he forgotten that as the emperor, he naturally has to be opposed to the civil official group?" With such a successor, how can I rest assured that the country will be handed over to him after I die? ”

Zhu Hongsan was sad about his successor here, and Tong Yangjia took the unlucky Tong Tuchang back to his home.

Tong Tuchang went to freshen up first, changed his clothes before coming out to meet his uncle.

After saluting his uncle Tong Yangjia, Tong Tuchang sat down and asked, "Uncle, why didn't you agree to beat Fang Fengnian's court staff just now?" Doesn't the uncle want to avenge his nephew? ”

"Nonsense, how can the old man not want revenge? But you don't know, if the uncle promises the emperor to beat the court staff, tomorrow! Not tomorrow, in the afternoon, our uncle and nephew will become alone, and those civil officials will leave us one after another, who will speak for us at that time? ”

Although Tong Tuchang is a political envoy of Sanpinbu, he is still not enough to compare with Tong Yangjia, and he still does not understand the high-level political struggle.

However, Tong Tuchang didn't think deeply, what he wanted to ask was why the emperor transferred him back.

"Uncle, why did the emperor announce his nephew to enter Beijing this time, the triennial Jingcha is still far away. And the letter that my uncle gave me only said that I should come back soon, is there something that my uncle said inconvenient to say in the letter? ”

Tong Yangjia heard Tong Tuchang talk about this matter, sighed and said: "There is no way to let you come back, the debriefing is fake, and it is true that I am going to send you to the north for peace talks!" ”

Tong Tuchang heard that his uncle wanted to go to the peace talks by himself, so he didn't pull his pants. Back then, he designed to frame Tong Guonai and other Manchu generals in Fujian, causing them to flee in embarrassment, and now he can spare himself when he is sent to the door?

Tong Tuchang knelt and climbed a few steps, hugged Tong Yangjia's thigh and cried: "Uncle, my nephew really doesn't dare to go!" My nephew in Fujian was hated by many Manchu generals, and he must be dead or alive this time! Uncle, when you escaped, you promised my father to take care of me for the rest of my life! ”

Tong Yangjia saw Tong Tuchang's bear-like kick and kicked him away, and scolded: "You are also a third-grade master now, don't you get up for me quickly!" ”

Tong Tuchang has followed this uncle for more than 20 years, and he was very afraid of this uncle, and when he heard that his uncle was angry, he couldn't sit down again crying.

Tong Yangjia glanced at Tong Tuchang and scolded: "Do you think the old man doesn't care about you?" I can't help it! ”

"Chang'er, you don't know, your uncle and I are in charge of the military department, and we know that we are now at the end of the crossbow. In order to return to the old capital this time, the emperor spent all the money and grain he had accumulated in the past three years. If you go to Guangdong, several arsenals are in full production, and the replacement of people and machines is non-stop, so it is impossible to meet the needs of the front line. Last month, news came from Annam that the price of rice in Annam had risen to 1221 stone, and that it would cost 125 yuan to transport it to Guangdong, and 2 taels of silver and 1 stone to Nanjing, which was already about the same price as local rice. How do you say this battle will be fought? ”

Tong Tuchang muttered: "Who doesn't know that a large area of land in Annan and Luzon belongs to Fu Wenlong, and one-third of the rice produced in Luzon belongs to his family, let him donate some!" ”

Tong Yangjia glared at Tong Tuchang and scolded: "What crazy are you talking about, why don't you donate your iron ore shares in Qiongzhou as military expenses?" ”

Tong Tuchang owns one-twentieth of the shares of Shilu Iron Mine, which looks quite small, but it is equivalent to nearly one million silver dollars, plus other income, Tong Tuchang is now worth several million silver dollars.

"Uncle, aren't there still a lot of sweet potatoes and sweet wheat in Guangdong? It's not all on the line! ”

"It's okay for the hungry people to eat those things, but the army can eat those things, the sweet potatoes are fed to the pigs, and the wheat is made into wine and shipped to the north for silver dollars!"

"Isn't it okay to go to the peace talks and let the Ministry of Rites send someone? Why do you have to send your nephew to death? ”

Tong Yangjia sighed and said: "No way, the emperor wants peace talks, but uncle, I don't want this peace talks to be successful, I have no choice but to send my own people, you are my own nephew, I don't trust you, who else can I trust?" ”

Tong Tuchang was shocked when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Uncle, sabotage the peace talks?" This is a great crime of deception! ”

"Chang'er, there's no way, it's all forced! Last year, the crown prince Zhu Hai secretly joined the army in Jiangxi, I learned the news from Qian Lide, and originally planned to use some means to kill the prince in front of the army, but I didn't know that Qian Lide's stupid thing was not done, and the emperor suspected me. Uncle has no choice but to hope with you, you must sabotage the peace talks when you go to the north this time, it is best to let the Manchu army go south, and when the emperor throws a mouse trap, he will not be embarrassed for his uncle! ”

When Tong Tuchang heard this, what kind of bad idea was it, did he go to peace talks or to challenge?

"Uncle, can the emperor forgive you as soon as the war starts?" Tong Tuchang knows that emperor Zhu Hongsan, and he has always liked to settle accounts after the autumn.

Tong Yangjia said confidently: "Don't worry, my uncle's side has been arranged, as long as the war starts, let Qian Lide send all the people he handles to the battlefield, and there will be no eyes on the battlefield, and then everyone will have their destiny!" ”

"But uncle, my nephew has already made enemies with the Manchus, and I really can't be sure that this thing can be done!"

"Don't worry about this, now the father-in-law of the Manchu Emperor Shunzhi, Tong Tulai, is Tong Yangzhen's second son, and his uncle and Tong Yangzhen are still brothers who have not come out of the five suits, you will go to Tong Tulai when the time comes!"

"But... But will the Emperor allow me to go? ”

"Chang'er, you don't know, the emperor originally decided that it was Jiang Wenyun in the same year as Ma Mingyuan, but after your uncle recommended you, the emperor ordered you to go to Beijing to report on your work, so it seems that we still have a chance!"

Tong Tuchang saw that his uncle had made all the arrangements, and he had no choice but to object, so he had to sigh and say: "Then my nephew will listen to my uncle, I don't know if I can have good luck and escape death this time?" ”

Just when Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew were conspiring, the crown prince Zhu Hai also returned to the East Palace.

The more Zhu Hai thought about his father's demeanor just now, the more wrong he became, he didn't say anything wrong! Zhu Hai thought about it, and he still went to discuss it with someone.

Zhu Hai found his little eunuch Shuangxi, asked him to change into civilian clothes with him, came out of the side door of the East Palace, and found a carriage to go to Shangyuan County to see Qian Yiai.

Qian Yiai arrived at the Organization Department in the first month to elect officials, and as an official of the emperor's special order, he naturally did not have to be numbered with other people, and directly took over Shangyuan County, which was from Liupinzhi County.

After arriving in Shangyuan County, Qian Yiai first went to meet Ma Jingyuan, the prefect of Yingtian, and Ma Laosan learned from the prince that this young man was the prince's adviser, and he was very polite to Qian Yiai. With Shangguan's support and Qian Qianyi's help, Qian Yiai quickly started work in Shangyuan County.

Now that it has entered March, a large number of displaced people have fled from the war in the north, plus hundreds of thousands of people brought by Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, these people have been dumped by the cabinet to Ying Tianfu, and the counties under Ying Tianfu Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, and Liuhe have arranged Tuntian.

To put it simply, this is a population of 500,000 or 600,000, and Jiangpu and Liuhe are both in Jiangbei, which is an enemy-occupied area and cannot be tuntian, so naturally these displaced people have to be digested by other counties.

In the past few days, Qian Yiai has been so busy that he hit the back of his head, and the number of displaced people in Shangyuan is still small, but there are enough 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. Only now did Qian Yiai really know that it turned out that this county official was not easy to be!

Today, as soon as Qian Yiai finished his work in Tuntian, a new line came to the prefect's yamen, and some arsenals in Guangdong had been loaded and shipped, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered to select a place in Xuanwu Lake to set up the Shangyuan Arsenal, and this work naturally fell on the head of Shangyuan County.

At this time, the official outside the door came in to report that there was a son surnamed Ma who asked to see him.

Qian Yiai knew that it was the prince who came, so she stood up with a wry smile and went out to greet her.

It was not the first time that Zhu Hai had come to Qian Yiai's place, so he came to the second hall of the county government and sat down and said, "Zigao, I see that you are very busy!" Are you happy with the work of the county magistrate? ”

There are no outsiders in the house except Shuangxi, and Qian Yiai naturally avoids anything, and said with a smile: "Your Highness said that I laughed, I didn't know the difficulties of county officials before, but now I know that it turns out that low-level officials are not easy to do!" A needle under a thousand threads above can find you in everything. Your Highness looks at my official documents, there are people who are arrested and thieves are arrested by the Ministry of Police, there are people who are cleaned up by the Ministry of Industry, and there are people who want to collect spring taxes from the Department of Taxation. ”

Zhu Hai looked at the stack of documents on the table, and said with a smile: "Zigao Dacai, back then, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan was able to handle a month's government affairs in half a day, Zigao, I think you can handle half a year's government affairs in half a day!" ”
