Chapter 40: Appeals
Whether it is Ding Junjie or Ono Ichiro, everyone in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group, as well as everyone related to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Mingjun is striving for a better future and the dream in their hearts, because the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Mingjun is a vibrant, every minute and every second is constantly moving towards a strong group, which has too many opportunities to change their own living standards and quality of life, and all that needs to be paid is just hard work, nothing more.

The water workshop in Jinhua is still being built one after another, and it has not been affected by the imminent relocation of the Yue Wangfu. This is the first province recovered by the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, the vigorous implementation of the military merit grant system, the countryside is full of hard-working farmers, the fields are pregnant with the hope of a bumper harvest, and the city is rejuvenated by the recovery of the population.
Agriculture recovered, the population became denser, and the rule of law improved, and commerce naturally flourished. In contrast, only the handicraft industry has recovered more slowly, and this is more due to the impact of the machinery manufacturing industry.
The recovery of people's livelihood in Jinhua Prefecture is incomparable to that of other prefectures and counties, and even the neighboring Quzhou is slightly inferior. What's more, southwest Zhejiang is rich in water resources, and now there are many workshops on the banks of the Dongyang River, especially those towns near the Dongyang River, because this can make better use of the human resources in the neighboring villages and towns.
The Yue Wangfu Mansion in Jinhua Mansion City, the closer it is to relocation, the more complicated the affairs become, and the various administrative departments of the outer courtyard are all busy with their feet on the ground, and there is no change even after nightfall. In the bright light, they need to clear most of the backlog of official business before the start of the relocation, so that the process of moving to Nanjing in batches can be done in an orderly manner.
In the private residence of the inner courtyard, Chen Wen reviewed the official documents for a whole day, although he did not continue to deal with official business at the moment, but he was still sitting in front of the desk in the study, frowning and holding a book with the word "science" written on the cover to look at it carefully.
Science, naturally, is not the study of the imperial examination. This somewhat thin book is the journal that Chen Wen planned to launch to discuss, research, and promote basic science, and this one in his hand is already in its third issue.
"The air is condensed into form, and the sound of light is emitted, and there is still uncondensed air rubbing and sucking with it. Therefore, the use of form stops at its part, and the use of light and sound often overflows with the rest: there is no gap in qi, and it responds to each other. ”
This discussion on the theory of gas and light fluctuations is from the pen of Fang Yizhi, Chen Wen has not seen him since the last time he met him in the water conservancy workshop, but this "Science" magazine began to advertise in the newspaper to solicit articles, Fang Yizhi became an extremely enthusiastic contributor, this Donglin Party's political position is not easy to say, but he is very keen on science and technology, and regards "Science" magazine as a platform to promote scientific theories.
"Objects are hindered by form, their shadows are easy to end, sound and light often overflow in the number of things, sound is invisible, light is visible, and measurement is not accurate."
In order to better publicize the theory, Fang Yizhi even did an experiment on small hole imaging, and wrote a statement in the magazine, encouraging other readers to demonstrate the truth through experiments like him.
"That's right, if you have time to do something beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, isn't it better than following those Donglin party sticks?"
"The husband's words are not right, not to magnify the words, there is no strong enough reputation in Shilin, and there are a few people who can listen to their voices. But there is no need now, Science magazine gives them a better platform to articulate theories on it, and like-minded people will be able to see it, which is much less troublesome than spending a lot of time and energy to make a name for themselves in Shilin. ”
In Zhou Yueying's slightly sarcastic words, Chen Wen also smiled. Due to the limitations of science and technology, the readers of this era did not enjoy the benefits of television, radio, and the Internet as later generations. In the absence of a platform to speak out, they can often only spread their ambitions, even if they just let more people know about the theories they have researched, the first thing to do is often not related to the actual theory, but to expand their influence through various methods.
Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty is an example, Renzong advocated changing the law, did not adopt it, retired to raise hope, repeatedly refused to be appointed by the imperial court, and the prestige of Shilin grew, and finally relied on the hope of raising the world for more than 20 years to preside over the change. Even those friends who constantly recommended him to the imperial court at the beginning later cut off their robes because the new law touched their interests, which can be seen.
Fang Yizhi spent the first half of his life in Shilin and officialdom, but his passion for science allowed him to spend more time on research and experiments, rather than spending time on alcohol. But he also couldn't get rid of Wang Anshi's predicament, and if he wanted to promote doctrine, he first had to do something unrelated to science, and the time wasted was enough to study more useful things.
"Husband, this paragraph is actually not bad, it makes a lot of sense."
Zhou Yueying handed over the latest issue, the fourth issue of Science magazine, which has not yet been officially released, but was sent to Chen Wen for preview.
"Yu thinks that quality measurement, slaughter, and Taoism should be classified into categories, just like the scriptures, history, children, and collections......"
In the words of later generations, quality measurement is the natural science, Zai Li is the social science, and Taoism is the philosophy. Fang Yizhi's assertion that it should be classified and studied was not a whim, nor was it born from Chen Wen's advocacy of science, in fact, he had already made such an argument in history, and invited people of insight to compile an encyclopedia, but in the end, such a grand ambition could not be realized due to his own lack of influence and the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.
"That's true, it's better to classify than to be a mess, not to mention some people who are interested in using the word science to publish their nonsense fallacies."
If you want to fish in troubled waters, there has never been less since the establishment of the magazine, an article is sprinkled with thousands of words, and the first few sentences are still talking about some science-related things, and then there are all kinds of clichés and accusations of gentlemen and villains, eunuchs and villains, eunuchs and politicians, and righteous men lack places to serve the country.
Such articles should be sent back directly, and it should be noted that they do not meet the requirements of the journal. From Zhou Jingting and below, to the editors at the bottom, they all opened their eyes wide, and wanted to use this to poison them, but they could not tolerate it on the side of the Mission Department.
"Don't let me say it here, it is inevitable that they will not learn from their husband's methods to start a journal, those Donglin remnants have money and leisure, but they don't have a heart to do practical things."
Zhou Yueying's worries are not groundless, the scholars have the right to speak, and this is the case in the Ming Dynasty, now Chen Wen holds the Di Bao in his hand, the Propaganda and Education Department is responsible for the compilation and distribution of the Di Bao, and the Supervision Department reviews it.
"It's okay, during the war, everything is in the service of the war. If you provoke your husband, you will control the news, and see who has more tricks and can play more. ”
As for the tricks to deal with, Chen Wen still has some confidence in asking himself. It's just that Zhou Yueying is far less optimistic than her husband, what is it like to be a gentry in the southeast, she is a native of Zhejiang, so she naturally has a deeper understanding than Chen Wen.
In fact, after the reconquest of Nanjing, Chen Wen's energy was largely focused on recovering the lost territory, and the promotion of Zhejiang's new policy in Jiangnan was not going well.
After all, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang are rich, but they are also a mountainous province, and the local power formed by the scholars through their control of the land cannot be compared with Jiangnan at all. The gentry of Jiangnan occupy the highest yield per mu in China, this area has always been the richest, it has been more than a thousand years, plus the coastal river, but also in the southern section of the Grand Canal, convenient transportation means that business is prosperous, Donglin Academy is located here, the power of Shilin is very different.
"When you move to Nanjing and sit in charge of your husband personally, you must let them know who has the final say in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Speaking of this, Chen Wen put down the "Science" magazine in his hand and looked at the plan and timetable for the relocation of the Yue Wangfu to Nanjing with a frown. It wasn't until a long time later that Chen Wen revisited the overall plan in his mind that a sentence came up.
"Zhejiang is my basic plate, and before I set off, I must completely smooth out this place before I can relax and deal with the Jiangnan gentry."
………………
The eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang have been recovering for the longest time, especially Jinqu, and there are a lot of military meritorious land, and the military landlords have accounted for a lot of weight among the small landlords in the countryside, and the Zhejiang gentry who have been repeatedly attacked have not been able to have the mind of fierce confrontation.
This is true in eastern Zhejiang, as well as in several prefectures in Jiangxi Province around Poyang Lake. Although the recovery time there was short, but the Qing army was very damaged, Chen Wen also had an extremely large number of supporters there through the military merit grant system and the exemption of floating grain, strict government and other policies, it is not an exaggeration to say that the basic plate is not an exaggeration.
In contrast, the core of these areas is still Jinhua Mansion, where Chen Wen recovered from the end of the fifth year of Yongli, and only completely recovered Quzhou in the seventh year of Yongli. The huge amount and high proportion of military merit land here are incomparable to other regions, especially in the hands of those soldiers who have followed Chen Wen the longest, they are the core of Chen Wen's basic plate, and they cannot be ignored in the slightest.
In Tangya Town, not far from Jinhua Mansion City, the compound of the hundred households has long been filled with military households belonging to the jurisdiction of the hundred households.
Compared with the time when other health offices were entrusted to collect tenant rents on their behalf, the number of military households who came here on weekdays has dropped greatly because they are no longer responsible for issuing tenant rents, but this time it is very different, almost all military families in the jurisdiction of 100 households in Tangya Town have representatives to come, especially those who have military merits and land in their hands.
In the compound, the 100 households headed by the family are no longer the 100 households surnamed Jin, the last unauthorized embezzlement of public funds to put money in print, after the case has been put in prison by the Department of Military Justice, it is unlikely that he wants to come out for a while, at most it is more serious than the case, and the beheading of the 100 households in Xiaoshun Town, which is more huge than the amount involved, is stronger.
The new hundred households sat on the chairs at the entrance of the hall, and the military households did not stand, but sat on the benches one by one and listened to the speeches of the hundred households. But more often than not, it was the military household representatives below who were talking, and the hundred households were listening there.
"Pan Baihu, you are the hundred households of our hundred households, everyone is the only one who looks forward to you Pan Baihu on weekdays, and now this is another guard to bully us, you have to make the decision for us."
"That's it, that's it."
There was a chorus below, but Pan Baihu couldn't say it with a bitter face. The jurisdiction of this hundred households is very close to Jinhua Fucheng, and the military merit granting system began to be implemented in that year, which started from the Fucheng and the surrounding county seats. Most of the 100 households are old people from the Ming Army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang, among them, there are not no battalion officers and bureau generals, and the eldest son of the old lady who just took the lead is a bureau general of the Nantang battalion. Let's ask about such a complicated background here, when he was in the army, he was just a captain, where did the military households come from.
The predecessor was imprisoned, whether he could come out in this life is still two words, the hundred households know that the military households in this place have a large background, it is not easy to provoke, they are cautious on weekdays, and those who obey their words on weekdays are those reserve soldiers who rent land here - their training, assessment, and even enlistment, and daily performance appraisal, 100 households can speak, as for other military households, he has long stopped reporting any hope.
But at this moment, he can't say that he directly refutes this sentence. In fact, even if he can refute it, he is a hundred households, and according to the regulations, he wants to share the worries of the local military households, who makes Chen Wen believe that only the soldiers on the front line can have no distractions when they have peace of mind at home.
"Aunt Shi, uncles and brothers and sisters, this matter is not only the case of our military households in Tangya Town, but it is now the case everywhere. Elsewhere, aren't our local tenants also asking for a reduction in tenant rents? The situation here is very complicated, and it is more necessary to coordinate with other health centers, I, Pan Zhenjiang, am one of the hundred households in our Tangya Town, so I naturally have to speak for the military households in Tangya Town, but everyone has to allow me some time. ”
This Pan Baihu is bitter, but the military households below don't listen to that, and the voices of dissatisfaction come and go, if it weren't for him or the local Baihu, he would be good to everyone on weekdays, but I'm afraid that the roof is picked.
"Pan Baihu, it's not that everyone is unreasonable, you said that this matter is not a day or two, the year before last, Wang Shi recovered Jiangxi, tax exemption for one year, and last year's rent was collected less than expected. Wei over there said that Jiangxi was so badly plagued by the Tartars that he couldn't recruit enough tenants for a while, so we didn't say anything. But now, Jiangxi is still like this, everyone is a military household in Tangya Town, you are a hundred households, you have to speak for us, if you can't coordinate, you will respond upward, you have to give everyone an explanation. ”
Shi Daniu's old lady told the truth, and immediately there was another echo. Pan Baihu is not a corrupt official, what he can do for everyone on weekdays is obligatory, and he even went to the scene to watch the construction of a canal, and personally coordinated with the relevant yamen and gentry, which can be regarded as dedication.
But this matter is not so simple at all, in addition to tenant rent, it also involves other things, and the households, and the construction of a large number of workshops, and the military food reserves of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, all have a great relationship.
After a lot of trouble in the morning, at noon, most of the military households wanted to go home for dinner, and there were many fewer people in the 100 households. In the afternoon, some returned, while others simply listened to the letter at home, which was much smaller than the crowd in the morning.
In the evening, there was still no result, Pan Baihu's own resistance was one of them, and more importantly, it involved some outdated governance strategies. These things are too high-end, and they are not something that he can intervene in a small hundred households, so naturally it can only be so.
Except for the 100 households and the guards on duty, it is impossible for other people to live in the 100 households, and they will naturally disperse in the evening, and they will make an appointment with each other to come to the 100 households to make trouble. Shi Daniu's old lady went home, the man smoked a cigarette pouch, ate the food cooked by his little daughter, and talked about what happened in the hundred households today, but it was not resolved, so he was naturally angry.
"It's really not good, the old lady went to the palace to beat the drum, I still don't believe that even the king is facing them."
"Don't make trouble for Da Niu, he has just been promoted."
The man who came home finally made a fart, and what he said couldn't be said to be unreasonable, but he still couldn't avoid destroying his prestige.
"Impossible, the king is the king of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang kings, who has spoken for us from Dalan Mountain, and he also beat the official surnamed Chu back then. But as long as the king knows, he will definitely support us. ”
Having said that, Aunt Shi still didn't dare to really go to the palace to make trouble. In the final analysis, her eldest son has a good career now, although he is not as good as other veterans of the Nantang Battalion, but he is also a bureau general, or the director of the Nantang Battalion, and he always has to take care of the big boss.
It's just that she didn't want to go to the Yue Wang's Mansion to "petition" Chen Wen directly, and the next morning, the hundred households surnamed Pan ran directly to the Shi family's compound with an unnatural face, and as soon as they met, His Royal Highness the Yue King summoned them to the couple.
"Pan Baihu, don't laugh, the king is going to summon us, did you hear it right?"
"It's written in black and white, and there can be a mistake."
Pan Baihu shook out a warrant in his hand, and the words on it, they didn't know a single one, but this did not prevent Aunt Shi, who was still menacing yesterday, from being weakened and dizzy by these black horizontal and vertical skimming in front of her.
"God, my Royal Highness King Yue summoned me, an old woman, how good is this."
