Chapter 427: Changes in the Central Plains

At this time, the Chinese democratic system was fully brought into play, whether it was the Golden Lion's submission, or the officials and officers at all levels expressed their opinions. expressed his opinion on the suicidal attack of the Qing Kingdom, and Ouyang Xuan in the study hall had to read as many as tens of thousands of letters every day, and Wei Yu, Dongfang Xu, guards, and members of the Cheetah team became Ouyang Xuan's temporary assistants. There are really some very pertinent opinions in many letters and notes, and this is also the first time in the millennium of China. Hu Tianao's free, relaxed and active speech atmosphere has filled the whole country with vitality. Every citizen has truly become the master of the country, and anyone can give advice to the country, and the supervision of public officials extends to the whole people.

Half a month after the end of the pun war, a bombshell news came from the Central Plains, because of the defeat of the pun war, Hongli beheaded more than 30 Manchu military ministers, and appointed many Han and Xianbei people to the government. In the army, the Eight Banners were abolished, regardless of nationality, they could be armies, and they were named the New Army, equipped with single-shot rifles and artillery, and the cavalry was also changed to lancers, and the person who presided over this reform was actually Wan Yankang of the Chinese Jurchen people who served as the secretary of the military department, and another Jurchen people, Yongji Na Gue, served as the secretary of the household department, and Murong Xing, a Xianbei person from the Central Plains, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and these three people formed the first assistant.

Ouyang Xuan looked at these three people, and really picked a thumbs up for Qianlong, this is a broken boat, and sent the Eight Banners who had lost their wolf nature to the two levels to die, and re-formed a new army. If it is not broken or standing, Hongli's move is indeed high. But it also puts itself on the brink of danger, once these people have other thoughts, the Qing Kingdom is very likely to change hands.

Returning to normal life again, Ouyang Xuan was also a lot more comfortable, and began to take the guards to travel around, where the scenery was good. On the Phoenix Plains (Masai Mara Grassland, Serengeti Grassland), Ouyang Xuan took the white wolf and Phoenix Emperor to live for several months, and he was with animals every day. Gradually, Ouyang Xuan found that whether it was a lion or a cheetah, no matter whether the white wolf was around or not, he would avoid him from afar.

It was September 1743 when I returned to Chang'an again, and a very grand ceremony was carried out to worship Yangling. At the same time, the edict of archaeological excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was signed, and the large-scale archaeology of the Mausoleum of Qin Huang officially began. In the past two thousand years, China has never taken the initiative to excavate the imperial tombs in Guanzhong, and the rapid development of the economy has also faced the risk of illegal excavation. Since it is the tomb of his previous life, he will dig it when he digs it, and it is better to excavate it openly and protectively than to cheapen the tomb robbers. In fact, what Ouyang Xuan wanted most was the Jiuding in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and through the material wave scanning, it was confirmed in the Qin Mausoleum that Jiuding was indeed in the core area of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. As for how to excavate, it is the business of those archaeologists, and the technology needed is provided by Ouyang Xuan.

After a year of adjustment, the Central Plains gradually got on the right track, and was closely investigated by the Secret Affairs Division. I learned that Wan Yan Kang is the twenty-second grandson of Wan Yan Yong, graduated from the School of Economics and Management of Fuzhou University, and entered the Zhonghai Theater of Operations after graduation, and was admitted to the Huaxia Chang'an Military Command College to study military command in the service, and served in the Black Sea Theater after graduation, and served as the colonel of the 353rd Division of the 101st Army of the Army, and retired at the age of 45 and returned to Mengzhou to do business, and was later allowed to enter the Qianlong Dynasty as a high-ranking official by the Qing State. has always been the intermediary between Tianxingmen and Qianlong, and after the Huangzangyu Incident and the Wolongyu tragedy, he strongly recommended Wan Yankang and Yongji Na Gu'e to join the cabinet. Only then did this series of actions take place to abolish the Eight Banners and rebuild the new army. It was put forward that the Qing State was the continuation of the Jin State in those years, the master of the Central Plains, and the slogan that the Manchurian Jurchens and Xianbei had the same root.

It was this slogan that led to a large number of Jurchen and Mongolian ethnic groups in China entering the Central Plains through the dismantled border passes. In the face of such a tide, Hu Tianao simply let the Jurchens, Xianbei and Mongols make their own choices, and Li Jing did the same in the army. The final result was that nearly ninety percent of the Jurchen, Xianbei and Mongol tribes chose to go to the Central Plains, which was not surprising to the Chinese.

In January 1744, Hu Tianao officially announced that the Jurchen, Mongol, and Xianbei ethnic groups were excluded from the list of Chinese ethnic groups. They were also given a choice between ethnic Koreans, who also had state support, and only three agreed to go to the Korean kingdom. Ouyang Xuan also issued an edict to dissolve the Jurchen, Mongolian, and Xianbei ethnic groups, and all the members of the three ethnic groups were abolished because the vast majority of the members agreed to return to the Central Plains, so the three ethnic groups were abolished, and the whole moved to the Central Plains, and the Shaofu acquired their property in China. In April, a total of 1.7 million people of the three ethnic groups entered the Qing Dynasty through the northern border pass, injecting a fresh blood into the twilight Central Plains.

In Huangzangyu in June, it was early summer, and Ouyang Xuan came here again with the Cheetah Team and the Wolf Warrior Brigade. The first is to celebrate Mrs. Zhou's 60th birthday, and the second is that Qianlong will make another southern tour and do some protection. After changing the important ministers, who knows what those guys with Chinese education will do.

"You're here, just such a big battle, aren't you afraid that the Tartar Emperor will be suspicious?" , Mrs. Zhou said angrily when she saw Ouyang Xuan.

"I'm afraid that he will do something, and he won't dare to do anything when he comes, so don't worry."

"Haha, you did the last time the Tartar Emperor severed his fingers, right?"

"Well, that's still wrong, right, that Mr. Xia is still in the village, right?"

"Hmph, I knew you were going to ask. He left last year and went to serve as the governor of Henan Province. Of course, his granddaughter went with him."

"What level is the province?" , Ouyang Xuan had some impressions of this name in a trance.

"On the same level as your state."

"Oh, I see", this reminded Ouyang Xuan that he had also implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries back then, and after a long time, his memory was blurred. This mention opened the valve of Ouyang Xuan's memory, and the concept of the province of the future world instantly sounded. Nowadays, there is really no provincial department in all the institutions in China, and there is always some confusion between the internal affairs government, the foreign affairs government, and the internal government and the local government, and you have to use this title well when you go back.

"I forgot to ask, have any strangers come to the village lately?" , Ouyang Xuan suddenly asked.

"Well, there is often, there is only one family who has moved here to live permanently, surnamed Wang, from Shanxi, bought a house, and traveled to Shanghai with Shaozu and Hu'er all the year round."

"What about other villages?"

"There are two families in the East Village who have also recently moved in, and they have bought some land, and they do not interact with their neighbors, but they often buy some Shanghai goods with Hu'er, one family is surnamed Lan, and the other family is surnamed Jin, and the Lan family still owes me 30 catties of corn seeds. Or you'll collect it for me."

"Are there no other villages?".

"No, it's just three. And then there's nothing to do with your manpower around my house."

"How much is thirty pounds of corn seeds?".

"Haha, want to help me take it back? Well, it's not much, it's only two taels of silver, which is thirty yuan."

"So expensive? What seeds? Could it be the Golden Seed? Ouyang Xuan quipped.

"That's the sticky corn seeds that Hu'er bought from Huaxia at a high price, it's expensive, if it weren't for the handwritten letter you gave to Shaozu, you really wouldn't have been able to get this kind of seed. It's delicious, it's a pity that you came early, and later, you can still eat, my granddaughter-in-law also learned a salted egg yolk corn dish, which is much better than my toon scrambled eggs."

"Haha, that's your craft. You can eat for one season, and you can only wait for a year after the solar term. Do you want to learn a trade? ”。

"It's better than your Nizi, hehe, that's enough", Mrs. Zhou said angrily.

"Is your thirty yuan account due?"

"It's due early, it should have been given at the end of last year, and it hasn't been repaid. Now the principal plus one and a half years of interest is thirty cents, two taels and six cents of silver."

"Well, give me the IOU, I'll collect the money".

"You're really going, I'm not the person you said Huang Shiren. They are all from the villagers, and the family is not short of that money."

"You remember everything very well."

"This must be remembered, what you owe me in this life, you must pay me back in the next life, this is what you told me and Nizi. So I have to remember all of you, so that I don't forget all of you when I cross the bridge."

"Haha, you two really left me speechless, I'm just going to investigate this Lan family. No, why do you have to calculate this money so clearly if you are not in a hurry, the interest is calculated. Why don't you let him return your seeds? ”。

"Hehe, they will only plant according to the old method, who knows that these seeds have to use the new method, as long as the quality of the seeds they keep is too poor. He lost all of them last year, but his family's land is still good."

Ouyang Xuan shook his head with a smile, looked at Mrs. Zhou, who was full of white hair and was in good spirits, and said, "Are you so calculating people?" ”。

"Why are you embarrassed? I have always been like this, and the scholar in my family was calculated by me. It's just that you're smarter and haven't calculated you." Mrs. Zhou held her head high and looked cynical.

"Well, whatever you want. That Lan clan and that clan should be spies sent by Hongli to monitor this place. You are also being calculated by the calendar".

"Cut, you're stupid for me? If you can't see this, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes. I already knew their origins, and I still need you to say that the Lan clan should be a person with a positive blue flag, and that clan should be a person with a yellow flag. Don't forget, I'm also an old man, I can't see it, I don't know how many times I've died."

"Haha, forget it, you can do it yourself. If you need manpower, you just need to inform the grocery store at the head of the village, they are all good hands, you have nothing to teach them how many hands you have to do that day, and you still have to leave it in the coffin? ”。

"Can't you teach them? Don't forget that according to your seniority, you are not only my uncle, but also my apprentice. Hahaha, hahaha, haha, this generation, I like it, I like it very much. What if my scholar found out? Do you have to be angry? ”。

"It's not going to be angry, it's possible to go crazy. Why don't you go back to Chang'an with me, while I still have the right to reward, it's still okay to give you a knighthood."

"Don't go, unless I'm dead. Don't persuade me about this, don't forget that Tianxingmen has just betrayed you."

"Forget it, you're too stubborn."

"Oh, I think of one thing, there is a Mo clan in Longhuyu, relying on his son to be the governor of Yangzhou, and he has been beating my family's land, you let your people think of a way for me to get his land over. It's okay to kidnap tickets and extort anything, I'm a woman, not a gentleman, so I don't have any worries. Do you think this can help? ”。

Ouyang Xuan almost went crazy after hearing this, guarding a hundred acres of high-grade fertile land, and actually beating people's ideas. I was speechless for a while, and said after a while: "Sister-in-law, how can you not do it." Is his land next to yours? ”

"Across the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, just by the river of the backflow river, it is a high-quality fertile field, I heard that it was after being flooded by black water in the pre-Ming Dynasty, the land was fertile. I just want that land."

"Does he owe you money or do you owe him money?" , Ouyang Xuan took a sip of tea and said angrily.

"You are just impatient, if Nizi wants that piece of land, it is estimated that you will send troops to Xuzhou", Mrs. Zhou pulled her gray hair and said indignantly.

"Stop, just when I didn't ask. Isn't it just the land, just buy it for you, and promise that the land will be yours next year."

"Well, that's pretty much it. It's better to have more land, this is not your Huaxia, the land is the foundation. If you don't understand, it's useless to tell you. Next time, come and bring me some good seeds, don't come empty-handed, you say let's get you, it's not, don't get it, it's bad to break the rules of the Central Plains." Not only Ouyang Xuan couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this, but the five guards and Wei Yu around him were already laughing back and forth. They also like this little old lady of the Central Plains more and more, and there is always a little bit of badness in her bones.

"Look at your men, there are really no rules. Needless to say, if I eat here in the evening, I will have people prepare to go, and if I don't eat here, I will have to fast. There are too many evils in one day", Mrs. Zhou shook her hand and said as she walked into the hall.

"It's all sent off, and we can only go, besides, as far as your craftsmanship is concerned, let's forget it."

"Nonsense, our grandson has hired a famous chef in Shanghai to cook the stove, don't eat it, you can do it yourself, anyway, your people are also very familiar with my yard", when he spoke, he had already entered the hall and cocked the wooden fish.

"Let's go, why are you still standing here stupidly", Ouyang Xuan said with a smile. Then he took the guards out of the courtyard, wandered in the fields for a while, and entered the Huangzangyu Mountain along the mountain road. Along the way, there are temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests composed of pentagonal machine, Coptis chinensis, Qingtong, mountain apricot, sour jujube, tangtang pear, cherry, pomegranate and other stands, which can only be regarded as pediatric for Ouyang Xuan and the guards who are accustomed to seeing famous mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.

Shaded by green trees, a temple appears on the side of the mountain road, and the temple does not look big from the outside. The red walls and green tiles, hidden in the green trees, also complement each other. A blue card is written on the forehead of three powerful characters: Ruiyun Temple, next to the Daxing ten years of Yuxiu Temple handwriting. Ouyang Xuan calculated that Daxing was the year name of Wu Sangui Zhouguo, and the tenth year of Daxing should be Huaxia 1771. "Foolishness, this name is good, the world is stupid, not bad, not bad." After speaking, Ouyang Xuan stepped forward lightly and knocked on the knocker. After a long time, a young deacon monk came out of the side door next to the temple gate, folded his hands, and said softly: "Amitabha! Dare to ask the donor what is the matter? ”。
