"That demon isn't dead!"

Out of the dungeon, Fang Yizhi's face was as ugly as the bottom of the pot.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil, the slaves of Liaodong and the thieves of Shaanxi and Jin are all the henchmen of the imperial court, and Fang Yizhi and other knowledgeable people have long known that the Ming Empire is facing an unprecedented crisis.

But before, the crisis seemed to be a little far away from them, and the area around Anhui was generally calm, although there were water thieves and mountain bandits - but when did this water thief mountain bandit not have?

Pang Yougui, nicknamed the thin man, let them see an imminent crisis!

Wang Haoxian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect with the pseudonym Song Baoyi, is in Yangzhou City!

Yangzhou City is located in the south of Jiangsu, from Nanjing is just the river separation, tracing the river, to reach their Luzhou, Tongcheng, it doesn't take much effort, if Wang Haoxian is in Yangzhou, with the current Yangzhou, Nanjing's preparedness situation, I am afraid that the war will inevitably sweep southern Anhui.

In that case, the current comfort of Luzhou and Tongcheng will come to naught!

"Now you know why I didn't dare to report to the police." Yu Guozhen smiled bitterly: "As soon as I report to the official, there are only two possibilities, one is that the government has a large-scale search and arrest, forcing Wang Haoxian to take action in advance, he has been in Yangzhou for ten years, and this move will become a prairie fire; Another possibility is to deceive the superiors and subordinates, the government pretends to be deaf and dumb about this, you must know that those who captured the fake Wang Haoxian ten years ago, but with this merit they have been promoted, many people are now in high positions, after this matter is exposed, isn't it a slap in the face? ”

Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin are no strangers to the operation of the government, both of them are bureaucratic families, and they looked at each other quite awkwardly after hearing this.

"Cough, it's not like this, it's not like this......" Fang Yizhi said: "I won't be held accountable for a while, and it's also to avoid startling the snake......"

"I think the biggest possibility is that they deliberately startled the snake and let Wang Haoxian flee Yangzhou, so that they can report to someone who has no such matter, and then investigate me for being a nosy liar." Yu Guozhen sneered: "Then I became a self-employed five, the most pitiful thing in the world is self-imposed five, obviously to maintain the government, but I was slapped in the face by the government and the anti-thief in turn......"

"Well, it's ...... What is the solution? Fang Yizhi said.

"There is a saying in the Smelling Fragrance cult that those dogs who run errands for the government can get five cents for the sole of their shoes, so they secretly call them Wuwen, and those who do not receive the money from the government but help the government are naturally Wuwen who bring their own dry food, referred to as self-dry five." Yu Guozhen laughed out loud when he said this, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The other party said that this was a new thing, and after he repeated the "self-doing five" a few times, he looked at Sun Lin and smiled bitterly: "This is also true, Brother Kexian, we are all self-doing." ”

"Indeed, now that Qian Shilang has been belittled, Zhou Ge has left the dynasty, and the eunuchs have become Xiangguo, this is the court slapping us in the face. The bandits are raging, and even the cults that have disappeared are about to resurrect from the ashes, and this is a slap in the face by the people. Sun Lin also sighed: "When we wait for loyal and righteous people to line up in the court, and the gentleman and the villain retreat, then the world will be peaceful." ”

"The world can't be peaceful." Yu Guozhen sneered: "Have you noticed the climate over the years? ”

"What?" Fang Yizhiqi said: "The climate ...... You mean, famine? ”

"I asked the fifth uncle to collect the situation of disasters and different climates in various places in the past 30 years, since the 26th year of Wanli, Shanxi has been a drought for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are nine droughts in ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a drought in ten years, but it is slightly better in Beizhili, but from the twenty-seventh to twenty-ninth years of Wanli, and after forty-three years, it is two consecutive years, all of which are major droughts."

Seeing the two of them listening, Yu Guozhen picked up a small stone, wrote "Shanxi" and "Beizhili" on the sandy ground, and then said: "In the forty-third year of Wanli, Shandong is also a great drought, and since the forty-fourth year of Wanli, this drought has expanded to Shaanxi and Henan, and they are all continuous droughts. ”

"This ...... If you are a righteous man and a gentleman, you can always be better if you are lightly endowed with benevolence and love for the people...... And after all, it's not a big drought every year. ”

Fang Yizhi said a little reluctantly, he is not completely ignorant of world affairs, and he has been running around all these years, so he has a vision that ordinary scholars do not have, so he knows very well what Yu Guozhen said is serious.

"This is just a drought, and after the great drought, there will be great locusts, and Brother Mi should know it." Yu Guozhen smiled bitterly: "After the drought locust, there will inevitably be a group of thieves, and now in the land of Shaanxi and Jin, why the thieves are constantly being exterminated, this is the reason!" ”

"Now most of the imperial court looks up to the southeast, but now I see that the younger brother went to Suzhou Mansion, Suhu area, every family grows mulberry and silkworms, and the prosperity of silk weaving is in the world. Sang Sheng then seized the grain field, originally Suhu was the national granary, but now it has to buy grain from Jiangxi and Huguang, if the catastrophe spreads again, the second brother said, how to deal with it? ”

"There are gentlemen in the court, and there is naturally no disaster." Sun Lindao: "Guozhen, this successive catastrophe is clearly the eunuch party who was convicted by the sky, so the sky warns ......"

"Shun, Yu Dade, why is the flood flooding?" Yu Guozhen sneered: "What's more, after today's son ascended the throne, either the eunuchs were rejected, or Wei Zhongxian also died, why did the natural disasters not decrease, but intensified?" ”

"That is because the eunuch party has not retreated, and now Wen Tiren has bribed Cui Chengxiu, and he has written poems to congratulate him at the Wei Eunuch Temple in Hangzhou."

"Wen Tiren also only got the position of first assistant this year, he can't be responsible for the natural disasters in the past!" Yu Guozhen didn't like this kind of thing of taking the responsibility of God on people, and he sneered again: "Brother Kexian, you haven't answered yet, why is it flooding with the virtues of Shun and Yu!" ”

This time Sun Lin was silent, although he was choked by Yu Guozhen, but that question was indeed not something he could answer.

"At the moment, we don't see any signs of this disaster stopping, but on the contrary, we are seeing it spreading, and in Huzhou, for example, there have been floods almost every other year in the past ten years." Yu Guozhen saw that he didn't say anything, so he continued: "Drought, locusts, waterlogging, and then thieves, Brother Mi, now we are in the north and south of the river, it should be a rich place, but there are also thieves, just this year, there are three groups of bandits to attack my Xiang'an." ”

"Brother Guozhenxian, you can't pray for heavenly sin, can't you ...... Is there really no other way? At this time, Fang Yizhi understood, and he asked Yu Guozhen.

"Naturally, there are some of them, the world is big, and some of them are unaffected lands." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "If the princes of the imperial court have this courage to open up the territory in the south, they can get ten more Jiangsu and Zhejiang, why worry about having no food available?" ”

This is one of the means by which later generations will resolve the crisis, and when there is a crisis in the country, the surplus manpower will be consumed through a foreign war, and at the same time, the domestic unity will be made through the help of common hatred. But Yu Guozhen knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty at this time to do it!

Just 29 years ago, Emperor Wanli sent people to Luzon to check whether there was a silver mountain, which made the Spanish colonists suspect that the Ming Dynasty had the intention of seizing Luzon, and slaughtered 25,000 Chinese merchants in Luzon! As for the Spanish colonists, the criminals of the massacre, they were only "the governor of the province to discuss the guilt and hear about it." When the Spaniards came to China to explain, the magistrate actually called these massacrated Chinese "mostly unscrupulous people" and "will never ask the teacher to ask for the guilt"!

Sure enough, hearing this, Fang Yizhi shook his head: "This matter is not possible, this matter is not possible." ”

Yu Guozhen laughed: "There is no way to let the little brother go, but if this desolation spreads again, the secret brother must also be careful, and the family must build a wall to protect himself." ”

Fang Yizhi was one of the few friends of his time, and although the two had different political aspirations, Yu Guozhen still didn't want anything to happen to him in the chaos. What's more, Yu Guozhen still has a shadow in his heart, Fang Yizhi's cousin was sheltering from the rain in the courtyard, and Yu Guozhen still has a good impression of her.

This good feeling has not yet involved personal feelings for the time being, but I simply feel that such a beautiful flower should bloom brilliantly, not wither inexplicably.

Whether the power that caused her to wither ahead of time was from a foreign invasion or an internal thief.

"Although I was a little disagreeable with what Brother Guozhen said before, it is true to build a wall to protect yourself." Fang Yizhi said: "I told the elders of the clan about this before, but I haven't been able to do it, and after I go back this time, I will mention this matter again!" ”

"That Wang Haoxian, just leave him alone." Sun Lin couldn't help but say: "If he is allowed to develop further, sooner or later he will still launch it!" ”

"It's impossible to ignore him, I'm the bait, he'll come again." Yu Guozhen sneered: "Brother Mi, Brother Kexian, you have to rely on the power of the second brother. ”

"Oh?" Fang Yizhi was in high spirits when he heard this, and Sun Lin's eyes were also wide. The two of them were twenty-two or three years old at this time, and their blood was strong, and when they saw Yu Guozhen repeatedly killing bandits, they were envious, and they couldn't help but think about what if I was in his position, so when they heard that they were going to use their strength to deal with Wang Haoxian, both of them were very interested.

"This matter is a bit complicated to say, and it may cause some trouble for Brother Mi." Yu Guozhen said sincerely: "Brother Secret must think clearly. ”

"The man's self-respect is rampant, Guozhen, you look down on me too much, my side will be afraid of trouble?"

"If that's the case, then things will be easy." Yu Guozhen said happily: "With the help of the two big brothers, Mizhi and Kexian, no matter how cunning Wang Haoxian is, he will also fall for my plan!" ”

Yes, Yu Guozhen feasted Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin in the best restaurant in Xiang'an Town, and after the wine was hot, Fang Yizhi said: "Brother Guozhenxian, after the birthday of his father, although it is not a full birthday, but he also invited some relatives and friends. ”

Yu Guozhen's face showed embarrassment: "Brother Mi, there are some things ...... the junior brother here recently."

"It's just that there are some things that should be put to an end after the year." Fang Mizhi waved his hand a little impatiently: "Brother Guozhenxian, don't give face to the foolish brother!" ”

Yu Guozhen could only smile bitterly, he pondered for a while, and then nodded reluctantly: "Since this is the case, then I will definitely be present to celebrate Shibo's birthday, Brother Mi, which is Shibo's birthday?" ”

"On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, you can come after the fifteenth day." Fang Yizhi said with a smile: "This time, I want a good student to test your knowledge!" ”
