Three-zero-zero, spitting and feeding back to the heart (6)
Yu Guozhen stretched out with joy.
Fang Yizhi helped him a lot during this time, and recommended more than ten people to come. Here Wan Shihua's role is revealed, these people were originally suspicious of Yu Guozhen, Wan Shihua talked with them for a while, and even expressed his willingness to act as this "researcher" one by one.
Yu Guozhen was quite satisfied with this, at first he was only polite to Wan Shihua, but he never thought that his reputation in Shilin could still play such a role.
"Official, looking at you like this, it's even more tiring than fighting with the rogues some time ago."
Liu Ru gently beat his shoulders and neck for him, and when he saw his tired appearance, he said with some distress.
"They're much more powerful than the Rogue, and if it weren't for them, the Rogues would have been so rampant." Yu Guozhen laughed.
"That being the case, why bother recruiting officials, we can train our own manpower in Hoi An."
After following Yu Guozhen for four years, Liu Ruye's concept has changed a lot. At the beginning, she thought that only scholars were heroes in the world, especially those who became famous at a young age, such as Chen Zilong and the like. But now it is different, seeing Yu Guozhen guarding the side, seeing him build Xinxiang in the barren land into a thriving town, and seeing an invention that benefits the country and the people being taken out, in her heart, the hero of the world, only the ears of officials.
"I need teaching materials to train people by myself, and the role of these people is to compile a teaching material for me. They have to add private goods to the teaching materials, and then we need to check them again and remove the private goods from them. Yu Guozhen smiled happily: "Besides, among these scholars, even if only one or two can be used by me, we can be regarded as making a lot of money." In the future, if we have to fight with Shilin, they can charge for us. ”
Yu Guozhen has this self-confidence and can transform some readers, especially some relatively simple readers. He admired in his heart that in the history of later generations, even the last emperor Yanjing could be transformed into a super existence of a librarian of literature and history, and he longed for it, if he had the opportunity, of course, he would have to experiment.
He was convinced that when these still enlightened scholars were crammed into the environment of Xinxiang, surrounded by bustling workshops, operating industries, and the people who had become bright, cheerful, and hopeful for the future, some of them would break away from their old class.
This is one of the achievements that Confucianism has brought to the Chinese intellectuals: it is extremely strong, if not unique, in the world in terms of a sense of historical mission.
Since Zhang Zai shouted "establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations", this sense of historical mission has reached its peak. Because of this sense of historical mission, they are not as rigid as some people deliberately promote, otherwise they would not have been able to produce a series of star-studded names such as Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Xu Xiake, etc.
"Since the officials are not ready to let them be officials directly, then the slave will not say much." Liu Ru pursed his lips and smiled: "At the beginning, the slaves were a little worried, if they were suddenly promoted, not to mention whether they were competent or not, it would be Brother Guowei and Hu Jingshui, I was afraid that they would be upset." ”
Xinxiang's nominal principal is Yu Guowei, Yu Guozhen's cousin. Originally, his talent was limited, but after arriving in Xinxiang, under the guidance of Yu Guozhen step by step, he showed his strong execution ability. He didn't have any ideas of his own, but whatever Yu Guozhen made a plan, he could do it according to Yu Guozhen's requirements. This kind of execution ability surprised Yu Guozhen.
And Hoi An Mayor Hu Jingshui, who was originally a businessman, had the boldness and finesse of a businessman in doing things, but there were also businessmen who were more likely to be more childish. Using him to take charge of the overall situation of Hoi An, he has a pretty good layout in terms of development, and he can deal with general things on his own, without waiting for Yu Guozhen's response.
The two of them were very helpful to Yu Guozhen, and scholars like Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua, if they really took any real positions and let them live under a farmer and a businessman, they would inevitably be dissatisfied, but if they were allowed to replace Yu and Hu, this would inevitably chill the hearts of heroes.
On the contrary, through the function of "research", they have no real job, but they can have in-depth contact with the operation mode of Xinxiang, and they can gain some gains under the influence of their ears and eyes. When Xinxiang's sphere of influence expands, then naturally there will be new offices, and then the people who have been most thoroughly reformed and accepted the new ideas will be selected from among them.
"Little official, Xiang'an is here."
Yu Guozhen was talking to Liu Ru when someone outside said loudly.
"Let him in." Without waiting for Yu Guozhen's orders, Liu said.
After a while, a family guard walked in quickly and saluted Yu Guozhen: "Little official, Xiang'an got the news that more than 500 people went to the Xiliu Courtyard, saying that they were going to join the mansion as a housekeeper!" ”
"Who are they?" This news did not surprise Yu Guozhen, these days, there have been a lot of similar news, most of them are teenagers whose homes have been destroyed in the ravages of the rogues, and they want to seek revenge from the rogues, so they come to take refuge. There are also private families near Xiang'an, as if they are asking for help from lifting people and scholars, and they want to take refuge with their belongings.
For these two, Yu Guozhen's attitude is to treat them separately. For those who can be accommodated, those who have elders and relatives at home should consult the opinions of their elders and relatives, and as for taking property and taking refuge, they will be sent away directly.
"Jia Zhutou made a list." The guard presented a pamphlet.
Jia Taiji is still serving as the head of Wu'wei Prefecture, but he is no less powerful than Wu Wei Zhizhou, as one of Gao Erzhu's main assistants, when Erzhu is not available, he is responsible for handling some ordinary affairs. Over the years, his loyalty has been proven, and his abilities are quite good. Yu Guozhen was even thinking about whether it was time to give him a heavier burden and let him be on his own.
After taking the list and flipping through it, Yu Guozhen couldn't help but sit up straight, looking a little surprised.
No wonder Carthage sent someone to send this list, because this list is a little different from the previous figures. In addition to the craftsmen who Yu Guozhen raised his hands to welcome, there were at least dozens of people in this list with notes on the back.
"Tongsheng, Xiucai...... There are also two lifting masters. ”
"It's strange, how do they want to take refuge?"
Yu Guozhen frowned and thought for a while after reading the list, this should be the impact of this capture of Gao Yingxiang. Previously, although he was famous in the Nanzhili area, it was just a local hero, and there were not many similar big and small heroes, and the number of servants in some families was better than his more than 1,000 people. But now it's different, the capture of Gao Yingxiang, according to the previous statement of the imperial court, is a "reward for the marquis", Yu Guozhen himself resigned, in exchange for the field house in the east of Shandong, but others don't know. Therefore, many literati came to vote, thinking that if he became an official, he would have to have a courtier.
"If so, you can reply a letter for me." Yu Guozhen thought about this and said: "I only said that my moral integrity is shallow, and I am not worthy of being an official, and I have already resigned from the imperial court." In addition, I have a lot of property in the Far South, and if they are willing to do it, they will be sent to the Far South Wilderness. ”
Liu Ru is thoughts are springing, and the pen is like flying, hearing him say this, he couldn't help but smile and look at him: "Don't want it, don't do it, what do you do to scare them?" ”
"I really think so, Xiang'an has no property except for the Xiliu Courtyard and the surrounding fields, who knows when it will be burned by the rogues again." Yu Guozhen also laughed.
After laughing, he said: "If this is the case, they are still willing to vote, then let Jia Taiji be screened, and Hugh will mix in some people with bad habits." ”
"Write a good ......"
Before Liu Ru is voice fell, a voice came from outside: "Little official, a gentleman from the Zhenfu Division has come to see the little official." ”
Yu Guozhen was shocked when he heard this, Nanjing Zhenfu Sili, he cooperated quite happily with Fan Xian Fan Gonggong, through Fan Gonggong's channel, he influenced the Son of Heaven in the northern capital from afar, and the people close to Chongzhen, whether it was Queen Zhou, Tian Guila, or the great eunuch Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, etc., all maintained a considerable relationship. This is one of his big hole cards, under normal circumstances, their contact is that Yu Guozhen sent someone to find Fan Xian, like now, then something must be wrong!
After a while, the person who came was welcomed in, and the person was tightly wrapped, looking like a big zongzi, but Yu Guozhen knew who it was when he looked at the posture, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "How did Gonggong Fan come in person, looking for someone to ......?"
"We're not here to be polite to you." Fan Xian said very strongly: "There is news in the capital, the Son of Heaven has summoned you to Beijing to meet you!" ”
Yu Guozhen knew that he was here in person, and there must be something important, but he didn't expect that such a big event would happen!
He was stunned for a while, and then solemnly bowed his hand: "Father-in-law Fan, please forgive me, I never thought that it would be such news...... In the next moment, please forgive your father-in-law. ”
Fan Xian grinned: "What are you, when you heard the news, you almost out." Your Majesty did not invent the edict, and it is not considered a holy decree, but just let Gonggong Cao spread this sentence, so as not to make those fools in the court wordy! ”
Yu Guozhen smiled and nodded, fortunately it was not a holy decree, otherwise he would have to kneel down, as for now, he can excuse himself as a country man who does not understand the court, and deal with the past indiscriminately.
"Father-in-law Fan, we are our own people, and I also said it bluntly, the Son of Heaven is calling each other this time, is it a blessing or a curse for you?"
"Nature is a blessing, a great blessing!" Fan Xian lowered his voice: "I heard that you were victorious in the Zhegao River, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed and intended to summon you to Beijing, but the court was rejected by those wine bags and rice bags, which made the Son of Heaven very angry. Later, the good news of Gao Yingxiang, who was captured and broke into the thief, re-entered Beijing, and the Son of Heaven rarely called for wine and drank three more glasses by himself. This time, he ignored the court and directly asked Gonggong Cao to summon you to Beijing. The Son of Heaven values it so much, you have to make more meritorious contributions to his old man! ”
Yu Guozhen really didn't know, and around whether to see him, there was a big storm in the court.
"Do you know why the reward you ask for is not to the north of Denglai?" Fan Xian said again.
Lu Xiangsheng asked for merit for Yu Guozhen, which also explained that he refused the reward of the marquis and only asked for a farmhouse, and specifically pointed out that Yu Guozhen wanted to buy a house in Denglai. However, Lu Xiangsheng also vaguely pointed out that the north of Denglai is related to the imperial court's Liaodong plan, and it is close to the northern capital, which is not suitable.
"Therefore, in Jimo Qingdao, I will ...... you with the land," Fan Xian said.
"Qingdao!" Yu Guozhen's eyes lit up!
