Chen Zhiting didn't say polite words this time, just looked at Zhu Jinglun's calm eyes seriously and nodded lightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Jinglun could see that this time was Chen Zhiting's true gratitude.

Although the Chen family is a local family, when it comes to real financial resources, it is not so abundant, although it is not bad compared to some big businessmen, but most of them are real estate. Now not only is there a huge loss of manpower in the whole group, many houses have collapsed, and many people are homeless, which need to be repaired as soon as possible, but they can't always be sold through the sale of land, so Zhu Jinglun's assistance is very valuable.

But Chen Zhiting didn't know Zhu Jinglun's thoughts in his heart, he couldn't imagine what complicated calculations would be hidden behind Zhu Jinglun's help in helping them, they were clans, squires, Zhu Jinglun was a military general, and he was a parent official, even if Zhu Jinglun needed a clan like the Chen family to help rule the place, he didn't need to spend so much effort to help, and if he could give money and food, it would already be considered benevolent and righteous.

It is impossible for a person like Chen Zhiting not to read the allusion of a daughter buying horse bones, but he will definitely not think about it here.

For thousands of years, under all kinds of complicated games and concessions, although they have long left the center of politics and no longer have the privileges they had before the Tang Dynasty, they have established a deep-rooted foundation in the countryside far away from the imperial power, forming a political unspoken rule that the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

The emperor, the bureaucracy and the local gentry did not dare to say that they were three-legged, but the gentry class at least became one of the three cornerstones of the troika that balanced traditional Chinese society. And unlike the Western mechanism of checks and balances, the three major power classes do not check each other, but penetrate each other. Starting from the imperial power as the center, the bureaucracy and the gentry class are the tools of the imperial power to rule the people. From the perspective of the bureaucracy, the emperor is the brain of the complex machine of the bureaucracy, the highest power of the bureaucracy, and the gentry class is the rear base for the continuous supply of talents for the bureaucracy. If we look at it from the perspective of the gentry class, the bureaucracy is the goal they strive for, and the imperial power is the object of their loyalty.

Among the three cornerstones, the gentry class is based on the bottom, although the number is the largest and plays the most extensive role, but the more scattered the power, the more powerless it is, so they are often in a weak position when facing the imperial power and the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy and the imperial power will never entrap them under normal circumstances.

There is only one circumstance in which the bureaucracy, or even the imperial power, will make great efforts to win over their class, and that is when the dynasty changes.

Therefore, he couldn't have imagined that Zhu Jinglun was helping the Chen family, in fact, he was trying to win them over, and the purpose of winning them over was to show the entire clan forces and the squire class, at least to the squires in the Xin'an area, Chen Zhiting and the Chen clan were used by Zhu Jinglun as his daughter at this time!

Chen Zhiting couldn't imagine that even if Zhu Jinglun told them in person, they wouldn't believe it, because this was too unbelievable, which meant that Zhu Jinglun planned to usurp the throne, how could this be, Zhu Jinglun was just an alternate county official, which family was seeking to usurp the throne?

But Zhu Jinglun himself knew very well that the moment he led the troops out of Guangzhou, all this was already doomed, Xin'an would be his first foundation, if he could build a huge empire in the future, then this is where the foundation of this empire was laid.

It's just that at this time, not to mention Chen Zhiting, a person like Chen Zhiting in the isolated countryside, or a feudal official like Bai Gui and Huang Zonghan, I am afraid that they will not be able to see through this era. I can't see this era clearly, and I can't see how unreliable the rule of the Qing Dynasty was built. Zhu Jinglun knew very well, and he knew even more that Bai Gui gave himself what good conditions, at that time he had two thousand British coolies who had surrendered by himself, which was the power of the army, Bai Gui promised to help Zhu Jinglun seek a vacancy in Xin'an County, which was occupied by the British army, in order to let Zhu Jinglun go to Xin'an City, which was occupied by the British army, what is the county official, this is the regime.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, it is quite terrifying, Zhu Jinglun quietly grasped the military power and the political power.

The civil officials who did not have soldiers in their hands were not a threat to the Qing Dynasty, and the military generals who only had soldiers in their hands and no governing power could not pry the cornerstone of the Qing Dynasty, but under a series of coincidences, Zhu Jinglun turned out to be a local official with military power and governing power.

But everything happened so naturally, in Bai Gui's view, Xin'an City is too close to Hong Kong, Hong Kong is a nest of foreigners, is the source of all troubles, and the lack of officials in Xin'an Zhi County is simply a minefield in the eyes of the vast majority of officials, and it may explode at any time. Therefore, there must be a person who is deeply versed in foreign affairs, and he needs to know some military ranks, so that he can deal with the arrogant provocations of foreigners at any time, at least in Bai Gui's opinion, there is no one more suitable for this position than Zhu Jinglun. In addition, he once promised Zhu Jinglun to help him seek the position of county commander, and no one is willing to do the position of Xin'an Zhi County, for fear that he will be a foreigner's knife ghost like his predecessor, or be beheaded by the imperial court at any time because of foreign affairs problems, and it will not cost anything to operate, I am afraid that the officials will be very satisfied with Bai Gui helping them find a substitute for the dead ghost.

This is chance, and a veteran politician like Zhu Jinglun will never let this kind of God-given opportunity slip away from his hands. But there is a certain inevitability, if it weren't for Zhu Jinglun's lurking among the foreigners during the recovery of Guangzhou, how could he leave others with the impression of being deeply versed in foreign affairs, even Huang Zonghan had to admit that Zhu Jinglun had two brushes to deal with foreigners. If it weren't for Zhu Jinglun who recruited 2,000 coolies and led these 2,000 coolies to wipe out the 800 strong British troops outside the city, how could everyone admit that he had good military ability, and even Huang Zonghan would rise up to win him over. And it happened that at this time, something happened in Xin'an City, and the foreigners captured it, and the fire burned the county government to death. If you don't send Zhu Jinglun at this time, who will you send? Not to mention whether there are civil officials who dare to come, even if there are some people who are eager to read, they must dare to be promoted by Huang Zonghan and those from the Ministry of Officials.

Subjectively and objectively, Zhu Jinglun has long been the most suitable, the most reassuring, and almost the best candidate.

But at this time, no one saw any danger in this arrangement, because no one could have foreseen that China would enter the era of warlord secession in a few decades, but in fact, the background of warlord secession had all the elements as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was Zeng Guofan or Li Hongzhang, in fact, they already had all the capital to be warlords, but they did not challenge the existing political order, the biggest reason is that they did not know that they could still play like that, or they could not predict the cost of playing so much. Or maybe it's the Confucian morality in their hearts that makes them unwilling to play like that.

But Zhu Jinglun saw very clearly that as long as he had one or two thousand modern troops equipped with rifles and cannons, he would have the capital to gain a foothold in Guangfu; He has been ready for a long time, and he has even been eager to challenge the existing political order, he knows that the existing political order can no longer be reborn, and sooner or later it will be eliminated; He also knew that at the time of the collapse of the Manchu ruling order, he was fully qualified to establish a warlord regime, and Zhu Jinglun dared to pay the price for doing so, and he did not have the traditional Confucian moral constraints.

It's as if Xin'an Zhixian is destined to leave a position for Zhu Jinglun, so that he can start from Xin'an and start a career seems to be doomed. So Zhu Jinglun didn't hesitate to help the Chen family, even if Chen Zhiting didn't accept it, he even decided to help them forcibly. Chen Zhiting, the patriarch, disagreed, so Zhu Jinglun found villagers one by one and bought some bricks and stones to build houses for them, believing that no one would refuse.

This is really a very good maxima bone, so good that Zhu Jinglun can't miss it.

First of all, the Chen family has a huge influence in the local area, rummaging through the entire Xin'an area, and there are families that have moved from the Southern Song Dynasty, but there are few families that have been prominent in the Southern Song Dynasty. They are well-deserved as the first family in Xin'an, perhaps not the biggest wealthy family, but they are unsurpassed in reputation and heritage.

Therefore, winning over the Chen family can allow Zhu Jinglun to quickly open up the situation in Xin'an, and he can gain the recognition of the local clan forces in Xin'an as soon as possible.

Secondly, the Chen family suffered a catastrophe this time, to a certain extent, because of Zhu Jinglun.

Therefore, winning over the Chen family not only has the effect of buying bones, but also allows the surrounding clans to see that they can cooperate with their new magistrates and parents, even if they are damaged, they will also spare no effort to help. At the same time, Zhu Jinglun could not afford the negative consequences caused by ignoring the Chen family at this time, which would chill the local clan and squire class, and history proved that before New China, the regime that did not have the support of the local gentry and clan forces could not achieve ultimate success.

"This official is in charge, from the Xin'an official treasury, first allocate 1,000 taels of silver to the people of the manhole connected by the war to repair the dilapidated houses and ancestral halls."

Chen Zhiting thanked him silently, he had completely understood Zhu Jinglun's kindness as a kind of conscience in the heart of a literati doctor, and he never thought that the Chen family was now a chess piece on Zhu Jinglun's chessboard.

Zhu Jinglun keenly caught Chen Zhiting's misjudgment and immediately sighed:

"Alas, what a national disaster! There are no eggs under the nest, my Qing Dynasty is getting worse, there are Taiping bandits in the north, and there are foreign Yi invasions in the south, so it is really the people who are living and the people are suffering. Your Chen family is a family of poetry and books, the rise and fall of the country, it is an unshirkable responsibility, at this time, although there are family difficulties, we must not forget to worry about the country. ”

Chen Zhitingdi and Zhu Jinglun pretended to feel the same way: "What adults teach is that the affairs of the Chen family are small things, and the affairs of the state are major matters. Shame on the bottom! ”

He really felt that his family had done his duty to the court, and even Zhu Jinglun said that he wanted to ask for his family's money and food, he actually felt that it should be so, and he didn't even have the awe and gratitude he should have.

Zhu Jinglun continued: "There are some rough people in this official army, if there are some people in your family who have studied and have no hope of going to school, it is better to recommend them to this official, first, they can contribute to the country, and second, they can also seek a future." ”

Zeng Guofan ran the Hunan army, how many people, jinshi, and even were already officials in the court, such as Li Hongzhang, a Beijing official, all tried their best to listen to his account, so as to win a background for himself, but Zeng Guofan himself is a famous man, and Zhu Jinglun is not comparable to him at all, so he can only accept some poor talents, almost literate.

Of course, there is also a favor for selling Chen Zhiting, but seeing that Chen Zhiting is already grateful, you can know how deeply he misunderstood. Chen Zhiting probably thought that Zhu Jinglun did this out of the same feelings as helping the Chen family. For a family like the Chen family, it is of course the best choice to be an official in the imperial examination, but this road is too difficult, they have only produced so many small officials in a thousand years, and when they were really developed, it was still in the Southern Song Dynasty, and they were the prime minister's family.

Zhu Jinglun's promotion, although it can't do their family any good, but it can get real benefits, a family always has someone to take care of in the local area, just like when Chen Guiji was an official in the capital, Chen Zhiting was once negligent in his own scientific career, and he was bent on scheming in the local area. If a few people can climb the small tree of Zhu Jinglun, it will be easier for the Chen family to make a living in the local area in the future. What's more, well-informed people already know that Zhu Jinglun is a celebrity in front of the governor and governor, and with Zhu Jinglun, the future will not be too bad. Therefore, Chen Zhiting has no reason to refuse, but he will not really send the top talents in the family to Zhu Jinglun's door, those top talents will definitely be used on the right path to impact the imperial examination.

Zhu Jinglun No matter what kind of talent Chen Zhiting can select for himself, he is not qualified to select now, and no matter what kind of talent, it is impossible to completely agree with Zhu Jinglun's requirements, he must return to the furnace to reinvent himself, sometimes those whose qualifications are a little dull and who do not read dead books well may be easier to reshape.

Now there are soldiers in hand, and the Chen family has also recruited the children of the Chen family to study, and recovered Xin'an City, which can be regarded as someone who has a territory, just one grain is missing, and there is no eyebrow at present, the most promising thing is that Fang Shan went to Macau and Da Nang to buy and sell, Zhu Jinglun hopes to get the first pot of gold from where to get his career!
