Liu Ru was a little uneasy and said, "Master"

Zhang Zhun casually said: "Girl, what do you know." ”

Liu Ru snorted and laughed, and said in a coquettish voice: "Master, don't talk about others like this." ”

Zhang Zhun said disdainfully: "Isn't it? If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, listening to the wind is the rain, peeping at the leopard in the tube, if you don't know what's inside, you just point fingers casually, like those ministers of the imperial court. ”

Liu Ru carefully recalled Zhang Zhun's words, and said thoughtfully: "The master said well, there is no right to speak without investigation, it is really a wise saying." If we hadn't come to Shandong to have a look, this misunderstanding would never have been eliminated. Only what you see with your own eyes can convince them. However, those of them will definitely not come to Shandong. They can talk about 10,000 sentences and write hundreds of articles, but they are absolutely unwilling to go to the fields and walk in person. Because to do so would be detrimental to their identity. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said: "She is one acre and three points of land in the south of the Yangtze River, and she talked to a few scholars about Fengyue, so she thought she understood the general trend of the world, but in fact, it was far behind. She doesn't understand at all that the current world is whose world's world. The current world is no longer the world of the Zhu family. The current Ming Dynasty is full of raging fires. This fire will completely burn the Ming Dynasty! Phoenix Nirvana, after the fire, a new dynasty will be born! She thought that if she built an eyebrow tower and was a scholar, she would know the general trend of the world? It's a joke! ”

Liu Ru said respectfully: "The old man is reasonable. ”

Zhang Zhun continued: "She is a woman, her husband and children are serious, and she still wants to point out the country and promote words!" ”

suddenly realized that this sentence included Liu Ruyi, so he slowed down his tone and said: "It's not that a woman can't do things, if she does things within her own share." However, for Gu Mei, I'm afraid that a good wife and mother can't be a good mother. It's always good to come out and see. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Hasn't Wang Yangming always advocated the unity of knowledge and action? How can you say that everything is set in one set, and doing it is another matter! ”

Liu Ru said with a smile: "Master, the concubine has been running a lot of places in the past two months, and she deeply understands the principle of the unity of knowledge and action. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Oh? What do you think? ”

Liu Ru said seriously: "Does the lord want the concubine to report to the lord now?" ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Tell me how you feel, your real feelings, don't come to the void." Perfunctory polite words, I've listened too much in the past two months. That Monday Voyage, everything was good, but there were too many polite words, and the whole person seemed hypocritical. People are not bad. By the way, if you are really willing to go back to Jiangnan, I will let you go back, and I don't want your silver, and I will give you a big gift. ”

Liu Ru said in a low voice: "The concubine is unwilling to go back. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Do you really think so, or are you perfunctory to me?" ”

Liu Ru said in a low voice: "The concubine is willing to stay in Shandong, this is a good place." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "In that case, you can reply to Gu Mei well, and don't scold her, just describe what you saw, heard, and felt here." Whatever is good and whatever is bad, you can tell her. By the way, you can also tell her that if she is willing to come to Shandong, you can be responsible for her whole journey, including food and accommodation, as long as she is willing to open her eyes. ”

Liu Ru said with great interest: "The concubine will reply to her immediately." ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "No hurry." ”

Liu Ru hurriedly said, "What else does the master command?" ”

Zhang Zhun paced back and forth, and said slowly: "You help me with the wording, I want to write a letter to Zhang Shenyan." ”

Liu Ru is familiar with the world's figures, so she naturally knows Zhang Shenyan's fame, and subconsciously said: "Is it the Duke of the Mountain?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Ru asked cautiously: "I don't know what the master wants to write?" ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Gong Shan has been demoted recently, and he is going to go back to Yangcheng, Shanxi Province to recuperate. It would be a waste for a talent like him to go back to his hometown to recuperate. I would like to ask him to come to Shandong to have a look. Well, it's a private interview with Weifu, and the identity is not revealed. As long as he wants to, I will send someone to pick him up. Keeping it unconsciously will not cause him any trouble. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "In addition, help me write a letter to Shi Kefa, and ask him to come to the mountain to see it when he has time."

Of course, it is also a private interview with Weifu. When he went to Yangzhou this time, he did not complete the task, and he was demoted from the head of the household department to the head of the household department. Downgraded from the fourth grade to the sixth grade, it seems that this old brother should also be quite depressed. The head of the household department he served happened to be in charge of Shandong, and it should not be difficult for him to find an opportunity to come out and have a look. ”

Liu Ru pondered a little, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote. For her, it was natural to write a sincere letter, and soon, a sincere letter was written. As for the letter to Shi Kefa, it is more formal and the language is more obscure. After all, there is a possibility that a letter sent to the capital will be intercepted. In case Shi Kefa was implicated because of this, causing him to be charged with "colluding with traitors", and as a result, he was pushed out by Emperor Chongzhen and beheaded, that is to do bad things with good intentions.

After Zhang Zhun read it, he was very satisfied and copied it carefully. Such a letter naturally had to be written by him himself, so that it could appear sincere. As for the ugly body, there is no way to do it, I believe that Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa would not mind if they really had the heart to come to Shandong to take a look. Zhang Zhun has enough confidence that as long as Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa come to Laizhou Mansion and witness the improvement of the lives of the people, their thinking will definitely change.

Like Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa, the idea of foolishness and loyalty must be very strong, and it is easy not to change their own opinions. But, in the same way, their responsibility to work for the welfare of the people of the world is just as strong. The current court made them feel very disappointed. If, through their personal observations, there is a better way out for the current country, they will seriously consider changing their ways.

After the letter was written, Zhang Zhun arranged for someone to send it out. Zhang Shenyan is still in Haizhou City at the moment, if there is no accident, it will be delivered to him in about five days. Zhang Shenyan may take a few days to think about it. Whether to come or not, about half a month, you can know] to know. As for Shi Kefa, it will take a long time, maybe a few months. However, it doesn't matter, Zhang Zhun is not in a hurry.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhun continued to talk to Liu Ru in the study, mainly to understand what she had seen and heard during this time. Liu Ru is still very competent, and often runs outside disguised as a man. She talked with the old farmer in the field, learned first-hand information, and personally followed the old farmer to the field to experience the hardships of labor.

She quietly appeared in the streets and alleys, chatting with ordinary people and understanding their every move. She has basically been to every county in Laizhou Prefecture. Zhang Zhun learned a lot of information that Liu Ru handed over. With her as a "secret agent", Zhang Zhun has a clear grasp of many situations at the grassroots level.

After leaving the study, Zhang Zhun went to visit the White Lady. Because the white lady is five months pregnant, she always likes to sleep, and her schedule is not very regular. When he returned, the White Lady was already asleep, so he didn't bother. Now that I think about it, the White Lady should wake up.

Zhang Zhun came to the courtyard where the White Lady lived, and suddenly a red figure passed by in front of him. When I looked at it, the woman in front of me was a red lady. I haven't seen her for a while, and the red lady seems to have a little more mature taste, with a towering breast, a slender willow waist, and a round **. Under the snow-white jade neck, in the gap of the loose neckline, the pink mandarin duck belly pocket looms, the dark fragrance floats, and the firm and full ** wrapped in it, and the two sharp red cherries are faintly visible, accompanied by the ups and downs of breathing, proudly angry, and it is moving.

Zhang Zhun, who had just gotten fun on Yunshang's body, couldn't help but look a little obscene. Compared with Yunshang, who lacks exercise, the body of the red lady is undoubtedly more vigorous. In other words, it is more resilient and able to withstand stronger storms. Whatever he gallops and ravages at will, she can't bear to think crookedly.

When the red lady saw Zhang Zhun, she was also slightly stunned, her mouth opened subconsciously, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't say anything. The relationship between her and Zhang Zhun always seems to be weird. Especially after the last time the two danced the sword, the relationship between the two became more and more awkward. The red lady actually didn't want to meet Zhang Zhun, lest she be red-faced. However, when he saw Zhang Zhun, he didn't seem to say hello, so he turned around and fled, which didn't seem to work. I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.

Zhang Zhun said with some surprise: "Are you back?" Why don't you tell me? ”

The red lady said in a difficult tone: "I just arrived." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, remembering her coming home for the New Year, so he asked, "Have all your fellow villagers come over?" Did you encounter any accidents on the way? ”

The red lady said slowly: "It's all here." ”

Before crossing the east, the red lady went back to her hometown in Shanxi and brought her fellow villagers to Aoshan Wei to live and work in peace and contentment. Shanxi is in a mess, the soldiers are in chaos, and for a while the chaotic army is passing by, and the official army is passing by for a while, no matter what army is passing by, it is the common people who suffer. Comparatively speaking, Aoshanwei under Zhang Zhun's control is much safer. Even the shoes were killed by Zhang Zhun, and the red lady had a little more confidence in Zhang Zhun.

I heard that there is such a good place here, and the villagers have followed.

They came out of Shanxi before the Chinese New Year. Along the way, they passed through Pingyang Mansion and Lu'an Mansion in Shanxi, Zhangde Mansion in Henan, Daimyo Mansion in Beizhili, Dongchang Mansion, Chongzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong, and finally entered Laizhou Mansion. Because the team was mainly old people and children, they walked very slowly, and as a result, they walked all the way for two months before they came to Fushan City. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any major problems along the way, but I arrived at my destination safely.

Zhang Zhun said with concern: "Where are your people?" ”

The red lady replied: "In the vicinity of Jimo Camp." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded.

The arrangement is quite good. Near Jimo Camp, the terrain is flat and sparsely populated, and there is more arable land that can be cultivated for them. At the same time, the Jimo battalion has barracks left over from the original soldiers, although some are dilapidated, it is better than nothing. They are new to the city, of course, Zhang Zhun can't let them live a healthy life all at once, just give them a way to live. In the future, they still need to work their own.

Zhang Zhun thought for a while and said slowly: "When you are free, I will go to Jimo Camp with you to have a look." ”

The red lady blinked her eyes and said a little anxiously: "Is tomorrow okay?" ”

Zhang Zhun glanced at her and said with concern: "Is there a problem that can't be solved?" ”

The red lady didn't say anything about the problem, but said: "If you come forward, it will naturally be solved faster." The folks also want to meet you. ”

Zhang Zhun said happily: "Okay! Tomorrow! I'll go with you! ”

The red lady thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't bring outsiders!" ”

Zhang Zhun agreed: "Okay!" Just me and you! ”

The red lady went in, and Zhang Zhun followed behind.

The white lady is waking up, and her cheeks are red and delicate because she has just woken up. Seeing the two of them coming in, she asked very innocently, "Sister, what are you whispering to Brother Yulin?" ”

The red lady suddenly blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "What whispers?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

The white lady said curiously: "I heard you talking outside!" Where are you going tomorrow? Or do you two go alone? ”

The red lady's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly said, "Where did you hear it?" ”

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "You sisters have a good chat." Tomorrow morning you come and call me. ”

The red lady said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

The white lady immediately said, "I'm going too." ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "That place, you can't go, obediently listen to your sister and stay at home." ”

The white lady was all mouthful, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not an outsider, you still have to hide it from me, are you going to ride a horse outside?" Is it that the two of you are riding the same horse, and you are holding my sister? Well, Brother Yulin, after I give birth, I will also go horseback riding with you. ”

The red lady's face was crimson, and the back of her ears was red, and she hurriedly said, "You! Where did you think of it? I brought all the villagers from my family over and arranged them in Jimo Camp, and some problems could not be solved, so I wanted to ask him to help us solve them. ”

The white lady then understood, and said with a smile: "Who told you to talk with a match, I thought you two were going to do something!" Brother Yulin, when I give birth, you must take me to ride a horse! I must ride the same horse as you! ”

The red lady wanted to say something, but it was not easy to say, and she would lose too many words, so she had to shut up.

As for Zhang Zhun, he nodded lightly, agreed, and then disappeared.

In the evening, Zhang Zhun came over again, and now the red lady has opened a stove for the white lady. Both sisters are from Shanxi and especially like to drink vinegar. No, all the meals made by the red lady are to be dipped in vinegar. Zhang Zhun ate a little, but he was really not used to it. There was no way, the red lady had to make another one for Zhang Zhun that didn't need to be dipped in vinegar, so it was over.

The next day, the red lady really came to find Zhang Zhun.

The two rode all the way out of Fushan City, and arrived at Jimo Camp at noon.

As mentioned earlier, the Jimo Battalion was originally the barracks of the Laizhou soldiers, but it was later abandoned, leaving only some dilapidated barracks. The original soldiers were about 3,000 people, and these barracks just accommodated 3,000 people. The number of these refugees from Shanxi is also about 3,000, and they just settled here. Although these barracks are dilapidated, the roots are still there, and with a little repair, they can barely live for a while. As for whether you can afford to build a new house in the future, it depends on your personal ability.

When Zhang Zhun came to Jimo Camp, there were really many more people here. The originally lonely Jimo camp has become lively. These long journeys were mainly women and children. There are very few young men. Everyone has a thick layer of dust on their bodies, and it looks as if it has come out of the dust. They are in rags, dusty, and after walking for two months, how can they be clean?

The red lady pointed to the front and said, "It's here." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and dismounted.

The refugees looked at them curiously. They all recognize the red lady, but they don't recognize Zhang Zhun. Behind Zhang Zhun, there were four guards carrying fire prosperiums, following inch by inch, and it seemed that he should be a big man. They couldn't figure out Zhang Zhun's identity, they just looked at it suspiciously, and didn't come forward immediately.

Zhang Zhun looked around, and now the mood of these people is basically stable. The emotional stability indicates that the resettlement work has made some progress and there is nothing particularly disturbing. Otherwise, these people would have been in chaos.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhun saw a familiar figure, it was Lin Youfu, so he raised his hand towards Lin Youfu.

Lin Youfu also saw Zhang Zhun and his daughter, and he was hesitating to come up and say hello. Because of the White Lady's matter, his relationship with Zhang Zhun is also a little embarrassing. The matter of the White Lady, he was not optimistic about it, but the White Lady was determined to do so, and he had no choice, one eye was open and the other eye was closed, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

But he wants to be Zhang Zhun's father-in-law, and it feels weird. He was not mentally prepared for this at all. He's not the kind of person who tends to be a trend. Otherwise, I would have followed the Smelling Fragrance Sect a long time ago. He now wants to open a grocery store and live the rest of his life quietly. As for the happiness of the two daughters, it is up to them to decide. Anyway, they're all quite assertive. Seeing Zhang Zhun beckoning, Lin Youfu had no choice but to lean forward and said respectfully: "My lord! What are you doing here? ”

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "She invited me here." ”

Lin Youfu said a little crampedly: "My lord, you are in a flail every day."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "On the public, they are all the people in my jurisdiction, on private, they are relatives, of course I want to come and see if there is anything I can help in the next few days, I still have to call you my father-in-law." ”

Lin Youfu hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Zhang Zhun looked around and said with concern: "How is the situation?" ”

Lin Youfu hesitated and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "What do you mean it's okay?" If there is any difficulty, just say it, maybe I can solve it. ”

The red lady said briefly: "They want to repair the tools and materials of the house, they want food, and they want Langzhong." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "You give me a detailed introduction to the situation, and I will solve it on the spot." ”

The red lady then introduced it in an orderly manner.

The total number of people from Shanxi is about 3,000, most of whom are elderly people and children. After two months of long travel, I slept in the open air, and my body was generally not very good. For newcomers, what they lack most is food, clothing, and medicine. It's March, the weather is getting hotter, clothes can be less for the time being, food and medicine, the most scarce. After walking such a long way, many people have become sick.

At the same time, the houses in Jimo Camp are also very good, and many roofs are cracked. It's good that it doesn't rain now, but if it does, there will be a big problem. Among the refugees, there are young adults who can be responsible for repairing these houses. However, they need raw materials, they need tools, and these things are not available for the time being.

In addition, the villagers are most concerned about where to earn money.

It's the beginning of March, and even if the land is distributed to them right now, they still have no income. This is because even if the rice is sown in the field right away, the harvest will not be harvested until October. In this half a year, they have to find another way to do odd jobs, earn some scraps of silver, and buy food, so as to get through this green and yellow period.

Due to the fact that Zhang Zhun's territory has expanded a lot all of a sudden, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and many details of the work are naturally not very well done. There is no way, everyone's energy is focused on land reform and the work of the remaining bandits, and in terms of resettlement of refugees, the work ability has naturally been affected to a certain extent.

Zhang Zhun roughly estimated that these 3,000 refugees need at least 5,000 catties of food every day. Half a year is one hundred and ten days. A total of 900,000 catties (about 48oo stones) of grain. Say too much, say too little. If they come forward themselves, of course, it will not be a problem, but if they go to find it themselves, it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, in Zhang Zhun's hands, there are still quite a lot of grain reserves. When the imperial court had not yet declared Zhang Zhun to be a traitor, he had already purchased a large amount of grain from Jiangnan and hoarded it. At the same time, at a suitable price, millions of catties of grain were purchased from the people of Fushan City. When he took control of Laizhou Prefecture, he also seized part of the grain. It's already March, as long as it lasts until June, those big farms in Lingshanwei will have a bumper harvest of winter wheat, and there is basically no need to worry too much about the food problem.

Zhang Zhun immediately asked He Jianing to go back and pass the order, and first transfer 1,000 stone of grain to meet the needs of these refugees for about a month. As for their work, there are naturally full-time personnel to arrange it. As long as they are willing to live a thousand lives, the current Laizhou Mansion is more work. It is absolutely not a problem to earn one or two pieces of silver every month. But to do more, you have to work hard.

According to the experience of resettlement of refugees in the past, as long as they were given about a month's worth of food, they were basically able to rely on their own hands to support themselves. Now, that time is still decreasing. Because, some of the sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes in Fushan City can be harvested, and the grain output has increased by a crop of sweet potatoes, as if millions of catties have been harvested. Due to the large sowing area and fast growth, it is quite productive anyway.

The taste of these sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes is actually not as good as that of later generations, so if there is rice and noodles to eat, the people of Fushan City generally do not eat them themselves, but take them out and sell them cheaply. Basically, three pennies can buy a pound of red. It's much cheaper than buying rice and noodles. These refugees earn about 30 yuan a day, and can buy 10 catties of sweet potatoes, which is basically enough for a family to fill their stomachs. I occasionally ate some rice noodles in the middle, and the days passed like this. In fact, the nutritional effect of sweet potatoes is not bad at all, and the body is still healthy and healthy.

"Do you have craftsmen or anything like that?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly asked.

"There are some."

The red lady replied.

Zhang Zhun immediately asked her to gather all the craftsmen.

The red lady agreed.

Soon, about forty craftsmen were gathered. When Zhang Zhun asked, he was pleased to learn that these craftsmen were jade craftsmen, specializing in carving jade. The so-called prosperous jewelry, food in troubled times, now the world is in chaos, and the craftsmen who make gold and silver jewelry are not very popular, unless they are in big cities. There was no way, they also followed Zhang Zhun to Zhang Zhun's territory to make a living.

"You've got the technology, it's good!"

"I've got a ton of guys for you to do!"

"As for the treatment, as long as you work hard, two taels of silver a month will not be a problem!"

Zhang Zhun said affirmatively.

The craftsmen were relieved.

Zhang Zhun immediately introduced their buddies:

Claircase!

Scope!

Glassware!

The pondering of these things is actually similar to that of jade, which requires boldness and carefulness, and requires very high pondering skills. Zhang Zhun now needs a large number of clairvoyants and scopes, and the craftsmen brought by Shen Lingfei are obviously not enough. At the same time, when it comes to confidentiality, glass products cannot be handed over to them to deal with.

Okay, Zhang Zhun trusts Shen Lingfei, and he will not hide her from ordinary secrets, but the craftsmen under her cannot be fully trusted. The reason is very simple, some of the families of the Shen family's craftsmen are still in Jiangnan. And these craftsmen brought by the red lady are dragged to the family, and they will take root in Laizhou Mansion in the future, and the ear energy of leaking secrets is compared

"Yuwen Hantao!"

Brigadier General Zhang called Yuwen Hantao over.

"You follow him and find someone named Zhou Hang!"

"Monday will arrange for your buddies."

Zhang Zhun commanded.

Soon, Yuwen Hantao took these craftsmen with him.

The Zhou Hang mentioned by Zhang Zhun is a new member of the Shengxia Sect. He turned out to be Zhou Rudeng's son, but he was Gao Hongtu's disciple. Zhou Yihang was extremely knowledgeable, and under the influence of his grandfather, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he dared to write a book to attack Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan and other eunuch members, and as a result, he was banned from entering school by the eunuch party. So he studied under Gao Hongtu. After Gao Hongtu took refuge in Zhang Zhun, he also took refuge in him. Among Gao Hongtu's disciples, he is quite an outstanding one. Gao Hongtu said before that his disciples were not successful, but he was actually humble!
