"What I did was obviously right, but why couldn't I even take the first step?" Zheng Guang sat down on the chair dejectedly, as if he had lost all his spirit, and looked at the few pieces of paper he rescued and only felt weak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fan Qing sighed, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "This is the way of the world, reversing black and white, it is obviously the right thing, and it is difficult to do it, but the wrong things of corruption and bribery will be done tomorrow after saying it today."

After the first entrance examination, I watched politics for a period of time, and then I was released, and I was a magistrate in Shaanxi, that place, the winter is very cold, the spring is short, and it is not very warm all year round, that year, I remember very clearly, after the beginning of spring, after spring ploughing, there was a cold wave, and the crops in the crops were frozen to death, one was counted as one, and not a single grain survived, and then, those farmers were facing the fields, crying, crying, crying so much that they couldn't even straighten their waists.

The man squatted in the field and cried, the woman wiped her tears on the side, the child was small and ignorant, so he lay in his mother's arms, shouting hungry, so hungry, that look, I will never forget it in my life...... People always have to eat, but what about the rice? It's all in the ground, frozen to death, there is no seed grain, the land in Shaanxi is not high, it is ripe once a year, after the seed grain is allocated, the whole family points to the land to live, a cold wave, and the food for a year is gone.

At that time, I was still young, full of enthusiasm, I just wanted to serve the country, do something for the people, watching the people keep crying, I felt very uncomfortable, I wanted to fight for some rice for the people, for some subsidies, for the imperial court tax exemption, at least let them spend this time, and then find a way, re-farming, this is my unshirkable responsibility as a county, it is also lucky, fortunately in misfortune, the scale of the cold wave is very large, more than a dozen state capitals were affected, and the whole province of Shaanxi was in an emergency.

No one dared to hide the big disaster, and soon, the disaster relief money and relief grain of the imperial court came down, and the governor ordered the chief officials of the state government to receive the disaster relief money and relief food, and then the chief officials of each county went to the chief of the state government to ask for disaster relief funds and relief food, and the court stipulated that each household had ten taels of silver per person, one was counted as one, and one person was ten taels of silver, and then a number of rice and grain were given, which was enough for them to survive the most difficult days, and then the court issued seed grain, and then farmed to see if they could make up for the loss.

Knowing this, my heart was settled, I told the people of the county, the people were grateful, just waiting for me to get the disaster relief money and relief food back, soon, I was notified, go to Fucheng to receive disaster relief money and relief food, I ordered the carriage and horse to rush to Fucheng to get relief food, at that time I was the first to go, because it was very close to Fucheng, soon arrived, at that time the county under my jurisdiction was completely a farming county, the county seat was very small, and there was no one engaged in business, all living on the land.

There are about 4,000 people affected by the disaster, after all, it is a small county in Shaanxi, the population is not large, not more prosperous than the southeast, roughly calculated, 40,000 taels of silver is just enough for them to spend a year, give some rice grain, barely survive, and start spring ploughing after the cold wave, and probably have a hope, people have hope, and they don't have to worry, I am a new official, I will also have a sense of achievement, and there is also a sense of saving the lives of a county.

As a result, Fuzun smiled and gave me 10,000 taels of silver, telling me that this was the disaster relief money, I was shocked, and asked the court if it didn't stipulate 11 taels of 11 people, how could it not be enough now? There are four thousand people in the county under my jurisdiction, and everyone is afflicted, and no matter what, forty thousand taels of silver are needed, otherwise how will they live?

After I finished speaking, the Fuzun took out three silver tickets from his arms and gave them to me, one thousand taels, a total of three thousand taels, and told me that this is everyone's practice, and when it is allocated from the treasury, the people from the treasury will take some, and the transporters will take some and transport it to the local area, and the governor will take some, and they will take some more from the prefect and governor, and when we wait until we do, it will be less, but those untouchables can live with a few taels of silver, and the sluts have cheap lives, and they have cheap lives, and they can't die anyway, so don't care.

Fuzun also said, I'm a newcomer, I don't understand these rules, it's okay, don't you understand? It's not easy for you to know a small county, how much rice and grain does the court give a year, and you will be able to eat well, but you can't eat it, looking at thousands of years, the Ming Dynasty is so picky of us officials, if you don't take some money, you can't live at all, so, no matter what, the money has to be accepted, the court doesn't give it, we have to take it ourselves, and the officials also have to eat!

I didn't react, so I left in a daze, only to realize what I had done when I got out of the city, and I wanted to go back, but I didn't know how to say it, how to face it, so I went back to the county like a walking corpse, and took out the three thousand taels, a total of thirteen thousand taels, and distributed them to the people, although it was less, but the people were still very grateful, as if they had received some great gift, I always wondered, if they knew that they could have gotten taels instead of a little more than two taels, what would they do?

Later, I was not reconciled, and wrote a letter to my teacher about this matter, and the Ministry of Rites at that time wanted to expose this evil deed, and with the help of the teacher's power to crack down on this group of corrupt officials, but was severely reprimanded by the teacher, and the teacher said to me, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are like this, what can you do as a small county official? Don't say that you are only a second-class jinshi, you didn't choose a Jishi, you can't enter the cabinet, even if you are a Jishi and enter the Hanlin Academy, if you say this kind of thing, you are making enemies of the entire officialdom, and no one can save you.

The teacher knows that you are young and vigorous and want to do a career, but you have to do everything according to your ability, and those who do not measure themselves will not be able to survive in the officialdom, so you can either accept it, turn a blind eye to your life, and continue to be an official, or you will abandon your official position and go home to farm and study, so that you can at least survive.

The secretary of the dignified ceremonial department, the future prime minister of the cabinet, still said to me, Pingzhi, what do you think, what else can I do? You think I don't want to expose this? You think I don't want to fight them to the end? It's not that I don't want to, it's really powerless, at least, before we reach that highest position, there is no way, they have an organization, a manpower and a background, we don't have anything, what to fight with them?

Listen to my advice, write a new copy, no matter what, even if it is a military training strategy is better than these political theories, at least, you can get appreciated, you can go further, and in the future, you can be admitted to the Jinshi, only then will you have the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy, Pingzhi, if you still have that idea, it is good, don't forget, you must hide it in your heart, keep it firmly in mind, and wait until one day when you can clean them up, and then clean them up, now, recuperate, accumulate strength, and wait until the right time, under one blow, they will not be able to resist, That's the smart thing to do! ”

Fan Qing's words were very long, very chatty, drinking while talking, and when the words were finished, the wine was also drunk, Fan Qing, who was not drunk under the indiscriminate bombardment of the night, fell asleep on the table under the blow of this mere pot of wine, and the cry shook the sky, and it was estimated that the thunder could not wake up, which seemed unreasonable, but in fact it was very reasonable, and the great poets of the Tang Dynasty had already explained the reason - everyone was drunk if the wine was not drunk.

Just as you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, you can never avoid getting someone who wants to get drunk.

Zheng Guang stood up, opened his palm, looked at the last few pieces of paper, pursed his lips, put it into his favorite brocade box, and put it together with the relics left by his father, and then hid the brocade box, walked to the desk, sharpened the ink, picked up the pen, and began to rewrite the recital to the emperor......

My Emperor Junjian: The minister has lived in the southeast for a long time, and has faced the threat of the Japanese Invaders several times, knowing that the southeast is not good for resisting the Japanese, not the strong edge of the Japanese Invaders, but the army of the Ming Dynasty has been sparse for a long time, the training is not in its own order, and the battle is not in its own way. Those who dare to fight rush forward, do not form formations, do not hold shields, do not launch targets, the ancestors' tactics are almost forgotten, abandon the original and chase the end, and deal with the Japanese with chaotic tactics of the Japanese invaders.

If the Japanese knife is sharp, the blade is difficult to avoid, the Ming standard spear spear is a wooden handle, under the Japanese sword, the tip of the spear is self-broken, the gun without the tip of the gun, it is a wooden stick, how to the enemy Japanese knife? The Japanese have been in battle for a long time and have strong combat power, while the soldiers of our southeast guard station have been peaceful for a hundred years, and their combat power is only like ordinary peasant people, but they only wear military uniforms and hold spears, what is the difference between them and the people? In the face of the Japanese invaders, they were crushed at the first touch, and there were very few people who dared to fight, so there was a dilemma of resisting the Japanese in the southeast.

The minister thinks that if there is a peace, there must be a soldier of the peace, if there is a soldier of the peace, there must be a good training of the general, the selection of soldiers, with a good training of the general of the training, then into an army, armed with elite weapons, in the event of a battle, then the formation, with a complete formation straight forward, the formation of the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, relying on personal bravery, and the Ming army formation is completed, spear thrust, bow and crossbow arrows, iron shield guards, the armies perform their duties, like an iron wall, the Japanese are like a porcelain bowl, a touch is broken, by no means the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, so one of them, refine the new soldiers, drill the military formation.

In addition, the Great Open Fire Weapons are excellent, with a wide variety, superior quantity, and the advantage of firearms, taking the lives of thieves hundreds of steps away, and our army is not damaged, how can it be useless in the face of the Japanese robbers? However, there are very few people who are good at using firearms in the army of the Ming Dynasty, there are 2,000 soldiers in Suzhou, and none of them can use firearms, and there are very few soldiers in the southeast who are good at using firearms, and the ministers think it is inappropriate.

However, although there are many kinds of firearms, there are not many practical ones, and the minister thinks that when the actual combat is carried out, when abandoning many flashy and untruthful people, the firearms with small power and short range such as firearms and fireshells should be studied diligently, and the firearms with short range such as firearms and fireballs should be installed only after improvement......
