Another gust of wind and snow blew and knocked on the glass window, and the sound was very crisp.

The guard standing at the doorway tightened his clothes and observed his surroundings intently. Qingdao Pass has been operated by Yu Guozhen for a long time, but there are many business travelers who come and go here, and many of them are spies of various forces. If there is a chance to assassinate Yu Guozhen and cause some trouble for the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee, these spies will also be happy.

Then the guard saw four literati coming over laughing.

"I think Gu Yanwu is writing his comment again, I don't know what article he will write today, I must read it first."

"For such a happy event, he can't write a good article, so we want him to have a treat!"

"If you write a good article, you need to be treated!"

"You guys, you don't have a proper shape, Brother Yanwu is busy with business now, unlike us who are messing around."

"What is a chaotic life, I will find Yanwu today to debate, whether there is a king or no king in Huaxia, whether it is good or bad."

"There is a gentleman in Huaxia? I only heard that Yidi has a king, and it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia......"

"The words of the sage may not be all credible, at least above the sentence, the sage can not have today's punctuation, foolishly think that this is the sage ridiculed the words of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, Yidi still has a Ming monarch, and Zhuxia has no Ming Jun......"

"Nonsense, nonsense, how can I Huaxia be Mingjun!"

This group of people originally came to visit Gu Yanwu, but when they walked to the door, they themselves fought first, and in the heavy snow, everyone quoted scriptures and debated endlessly, looking like they wanted to hear and hear about the saints. The guard smiled slightly, a somewhat disdainful smile.

"There is a truce. You have been fighting for a few days without a result, so it is better to ...... Please ask this Huaxia Army to comment on the reasoning? ”

At last one of them came out to play the round, and the older of the four, the youngest of whom resembled him, was following him.

"Ha, the disciple of Yu Jimin's sect is naturally a talented person. But they don't read the sages......"

"This gentleman is wrong, we are in the Xinxiang School, and we are actually reading the books of the sages. "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Spring and Autumn". We all learn. However, our teachers say that the time of the saint is not the present time, and the literati are competing for the original intention of the saint. only works literal sentences, and takes words out of context, which is really a literary thief. ”

Since there was more than one guard, the guard winked at his companion. They followed Yu Guozhen and knew that their commander was an easy-going character, so they were not arrogant.

"Uh......"

The sentence "literary thief" made everyone who was originally arguing dumbfounded, and then someone laughed and said: "Look, look, the disciples taught by Yu Jimin are really qualified to judge!" ”

Although now the Huaxia Army has formed a set of education systems of its own. But the guards around Yu Guozhen were still recruited from Xinxiang's primary school, so, in a sense, they were indeed Yu Guozhen's disciples. The words of the older literati made everyone laugh.

They thought the guard was a good talker. pulled him to chat, and when they learned that he was really Yu Guozhen's guard and Yu Guozhen himself was indeed here with Gu Yanwu, these people suddenly lifted their spirits: "Yu Jimin is really here, ask to see, ask to see!" ”

At this time, Gu Yanwu had just served Yu Guozhen a cup of hot tea. The two of them are discussing the current situation around the charcoal fire.

"Mr. Yanwu still thinks that I should follow the steps and don't be anxious, right?"

"Exactly, the world is just a thing in the pocket of the commander, why worry? In my opinion, the commander-in-chief's five-year reunification plan is a stroke of genius to divide the enemy as much as possible and use the enemy's strength for his own use. ”

When Gu Yanwu said this, there was a sly smile in his eyes, he had been running a newspaper for several years, and he was no longer the scholar who was indignant and simple at the beginning, and he knew exactly what famous Yu Guozhen's five-year reunification plan was hidden behind his back.

The first step in the five-year unification plan was economic unification, and now the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee controlled the coinage, and the next step was definitely fiscal and tax unification, such as collecting the same commercial tax. At present, Shanghai, which is under Yu Guozhen's new control, is implementing the commercial tax system stipulated by the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee. In particular, in the Jiangnan area under the control of the small court of Jinling, smuggling is rampant, and the phenomenon of evasion of industrial and commercial taxes is extremely serious.

Even if the small court of Jinling refused to do so, and instead incited the opposition of the inferior gentry, it was exactly what Yu Guozhen wanted—he needed to confiscate the property of some lawless people to fund the construction of infrastructure in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

"The commander came to me today, not just to discuss this with me, this matter, the commander has already made up his mind in his heart, where is my turn to beak?" Gu Yanwu and Yu Guozhen talked about some details of the five-year plan, he talked about his own views, Yu Guozhen also patiently explained, the conversation was over, Gu Yanwu said: "What the commander commands, just say it." ”

Yu Guozhen sighed slightly: "There are mainly two things, the matter of the Nandu weekend, you should know, right?" ”

"Yes, I never thought that Cheng Zhengfu would be such a character, it was me who neglected!" Gu Yanwu was a little embarrassed.

"It's not a mistake, everyone has their own ambitions, and Cheng Xianzhen has resigned as editor-in-chief, and Nandu has been replaced over the weekend. I have read the recent issues of the People's Livelihood Express, and Mr. Yanwu seems to be a little angry with him and wants to refute his views? ”

"If you are uneven, you will be resounding, and some words are simply nonsense......"

"Why bother, he has his own return to deal with him, "People's Livelihood Express" is not the kind of tabloid that doesn't even know where the peanuts grow."

This is an allusion, in the first issue of the "Huanyu Times" of the Guizhuang Office, it seized a loophole in the "Nandu Weekend", which said that peanuts are the fruit of the tree, shake and fall, so it is also called falling peanuts. Gui Zhuang ridiculed this, and spent almost the entire page criticizing the editors of "Nandu Weekend" for not understanding the practice and not knowing the facts, just sitting in the study and taking it for granted, and then fabricating an article, and then questioning its "ridiculous words full of tears and jokes".

Guizhuang also believes that a responsible newspaper is not afraid of making mistakes, but it is the real mistake if it does not admit or apologize if it is wrong.

"Nandu Weekend" naturally refused to admit its mistake, but said that what the previous editor said was a personal opinion, and the editor was temporarily invited, and now he has been dismissed.

"Hehe, since the commander is so ordered, I will do it."

"This is not an order, just a suggestion, I only control the direction, and how to do it is your business after all." Yu Guozhen then said: "Regarding the collapse of the Niu Jinxing Group, you have to report more, especially the two people in the Niu Jinxing Group have different fates...... Liu Xiyao resisted stubbornly and was captured, while Liu Tichun understood the general situation and led the people to revolt. ”

"The Commander's Meaning...... Huang Degong? ”

Yu Guozhen nodded slowly.

His target was none other than Huang Degong. Now the force that the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty can rely on is Huang Degong. If Huang Degong expressed resolute resistance, then the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty would not back down for a while, but if Huang Degong also said that he wanted peace rather than war, Yu Guozhen estimated that the five-year reunification plan would be signed, and what the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty could fight for was only some minor issues related to Zhu Yousong and the treatment of ministers in the Jinling court.

The two were about to talk, when they heard a noise outside, and then a guard came in and said, "Commander, a few gentlemen ask to see you." ”

"Sir? Are you here to see me or Mr. Yanwu? Yu Guozhen glanced at Gu Yanwu: "Mr. Yanwu here is the master, I am the guest, whether I see it or not, Mr. Yanwu has the final say." ”

Gu Yanwu was only thirty-three years old at this time, and Yu Guozhen was so respectful that he was a little flattered: "Since that's the case, let's invite them to come and see him." ”

After a while, the scholars entered the house. Yu Guozhen looked at it, most of them were very young, and he didn't know them, but Gu Yanwu said happily: "Why are you here, don't say in advance that I will go to greet you!" ”

"If you come to greet you, we won't be able to see Yu Jimin!" One of them laughed.

At this time, Yu Guozhen was in a high position, except for some of his elders and old friends, few people called him his cousin. But this person called him Yu Jimin very naturally, which made Yu Guozhen feel a little novel, staring at this person for a while, Yu Guozhen felt that he didn't know him.

"Ah, Commander, I introduce you to four Junyan, first of all, the oldest man's surname is Xia, his name is Yunyi, his name is Yi Zhong, his name is Gong, and his surname is Huang, which is ......"

The four people who came made Yu Guozhen's eyes suddenly light up.

Xia Yunyi, Xia Wanchun father and son, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, plus the current owner Gu Yanwu here, it can be said that it is a gathering in the ideological circle of the Ming Season!

The one who called him the word was Huang Zongxi.

Huang Zongxi looked at Yu Guozhen's gaze a little critical, for no other reason, Yu Guozhen's unkindness to Donglin is now known to the world. Especially Sun Jin and others had a cold scene here with Yu Guozhen, and it was rumored behind that Yu Guozhen started from Donglin, but now he is not recognized by his six relatives. Huang Zongxi himself is the eldest son of Huang Zunsu among the Seven Gentlemen of Donglin, and his father's identity as Donglin, especially his death from eunuch torture, has always been something he is proud of.

"Yu Jimin, you are just right here, just now I and Wang Ernong are arguing, do you want a king in this world." After Huang Zongxi took his seat, he was not polite, and said directly: "I thought that the world did not need a king, and Wang Ernong thought that the world still needed a king, I don't know what Yu Jimin think?" ”

Although Yu Guozhen knew Huang Zongxi's reputation, he didn't know his ideas very well, so when he heard his non-monarchy, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

In this era, the monarch was even questioned......

Huang Zongxi's question is not so much a question as a temptation to see if Yu Guozhen will ascend the throne as emperor. The rest of the people understood this, Xia Yunyi was still able to remain silent, and the young Xia Wanchun's eyes widened.

He even clenched his fists, as if he was going to rush over as long as Yu Guozhen's answer didn't suit his liking. (To be continued)
