It's May.

Su Tiancheng finally had a happy event, Zhu Xianxin was pregnant, which indicates that Su Tiancheng after the crossing has a child.

After reading a lot of time-traveling novels, Su Tiancheng also has doubts, some doubts about whether he may not have children, Chunping, Wang Furong and Liu Rushi are not pregnant, and a few months have passed, Zhu Xianxin's stomach has not reacted, he even thinks that he has crossed over and can change history, but he always has to lose something.

But the reality of the situation made his worries disappear.

Since she found out that she was pregnant, Zhu Xianxin has changed even more, and she began to sew clothes for the baby in her belly by herself, in fact, these things don't need her to do at all, every time she chats with Su Tiancheng, she has to talk about the child in her belly, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, and she faintly reveals her worries. Su Tiancheng comforted Zhu Xianxin instead, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is the same. Of course, in this era, it is a joke to say that boys and girls are the same, and the idea of patriarchy is the mainstream. When Su Tiancheng said this, he was just reassuring Zhu Xianxin.

Zhu Xianxin is pregnant, and the matter of Su Tiancheng's concubine is naturally brought up, Chunping, Wang Furong and Liu Ru are in the house every day, and it is impossible for Zhu Xianxin to turn a blind eye.

Occasionally, Zhu Xianxin also talked about taking concubines, although she was a little unhappy and not very reluctant, but she couldn't stop this thing, if she didn't allow Su Tiancheng to take a concubine, and it was rumored, people would blame her.

Su Tiancheng has long thought about taking concubines, and after five years, he has long adapted to the idea of a group of wives and concubines, but sometimes, when he dreams, he feels that everything is unreal.

Zhu Xianxin is the original wife. And it is the county lord and the lady of the order, which is considered to be the head of the family, and Su Tiancheng is also very happy to be able to take the initiative to take a concubine, and the two discussed it privately and handled this matter in the second half of the year.

Qu Qingze wrote again.

The imperial court has been in recent times. It's very busy, and it's mainly about exterminating the rogue.

In the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, was promoted to the right servant of the military department, the right envoy of the capital, and the military affairs of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Jin, Henan, Chu and Sichuan, the purpose was to exterminate the Liukou, the battle first started in Shaanxi and Shanxi, which was the most rampant place for the Liukou, and then the peasant army broke through the encirclement of the imperial army and entered Henan. Captured Nanyang, divided the army into three roads in Nanyang, Zhang Xianzhong led troops into Huguang, Gao Yingxiang and others led troops to Xinyang, and Li Zicheng and others led troops into Hanzhong.

However, the rogues who divided their troops from several ways encountered setbacks everywhere and were helpless. Returned to Shaanxi in March, nearly 200,000 rogues. gathered in Shaanxi and became a powerful force, and Gao Yingxiang became the leader of this tribe.

Shaanxi is the birthplace of Liukou, where they are like fish in water, and Shaanxi is seriously famine. There is a steady stream of peasants who have joined the Liukou, resulting in the strength of the Liukou, which continues to grow and develop, and the losses they have suffered before. In the shortest possible time, completely make up.

Chen Qiyu dispatched the Ming army of five provinces, and surrounded the Liukou on a large scale, and the imperial court spared no effort to ensure the supply of the army.

After reading Qu Qingze's letter, Su Tiancheng's heart was a little more stable, which means that the Jiangning camp has more time, the Houjin in the north has no action, the imperial court can go all out to exterminate the Liukou, and the record is okay, in this case, the emperor and the imperial court will not think of the Jiangning battalion, the Jiangning battalion naturally has time to step up training, and he can also gather more money and food.

But he is also faintly worried that if you want to say that the imperial court exterminated the Liukou, several major victories were all due to the negligence of the generals, or dereliction of duty, or the internal struggle of the imperial court, and the achievements fell short.

Of course, the real extermination of the rogues and the stability of the interior are by no means as simple as military action, killing a Zijin Liang, there will be Zijin Li and Zijin Liu, the key is to stabilize the local economy and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can fundamentally put an end to the rebellion of the people.

The development of the Zhongxing Society, unusually smooth, more than half a year has passed, the Zhongxing Society has more than 6,000 formal members, all over the south, there are also some places in the north, the establishment of branches, on the contrary, Donglin Academy and the Fu Society, gradually silent, seems to be unable to compete with the Zhongxing Society.

Sun Chuanting, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Lu Shanji and others were very happy, thinking that the Zhongxing Society, to achieve such great results, is a matter of course, in this case, their attitude towards Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society has gradually become gentler, it should be said that from the beginning, they do not think that the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, there is much problem, not to mention that Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, used to support the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society.

A large number of opinions and suggestions have been collected and summarized, and after waiting to be sorted out, they will begin to report to the imperial court.

Along with this, it is the recommendation of talents, and the talents recommended by the Zhongxing Society can directly enter the imperial court as officials, and bring the ideas of the Zhongxing Society to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jingting has been recruited into the county government and has become a staff member of the county government, but he did not give advice in the county government, but stayed in the teahouse and restaurant all the time, according to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Liu Jingting still started his old business, telling stories, but the content of the storytelling has become the point of view advocated by the Zhongxing Society, including many changes in Jiangning County, and even many local specialties in Jiangning County.

Liu Jingting's identity is different from before, he is not a pure storyteller, everyone knows that Liu Jingting is a guest of the county government and a member of the Zhongxing Society, in the eyes of many ordinary people, Liu Jingting is like a person in the category of masters.

The relationship between Su Tiancheng and Liu Jingting is very good, and Liu Jingting even went to the backyard of the county government to tell Su Tiancheng's family his best storytelling.

Su Tiancheng bluntly put forward the request, the view advocated by the Zhongxing Society, at present, is only in the scholars, gentlemen and wealthy class, has a certain influence, ordinary people do not know the way, which requires Liu Jingting to publicize the way through the form of fast books that the people love, so that more people know the way, so that everyone can support the Zhongxing Society, and then support and support the imperial court.

Liu Jingting comes from the bottom of the society, and understands Su Tiancheng's thoughts very well, he is a little strange that Su Tiancheng was born in a family of businessmen, the conditions are very good, and he has never endured hardships.

Storytelling is regarded as a ninth-rate thing, and it is not respected, it is said that Liu Jingting has become a member of the Zhongxing Society, and he has entered the county government to do things, so he can completely put aside the storytelling industry, but Su Tiancheng made a request, he was duty-bound, without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the guy, and went to the restaurant and teahouse to tell the story voluntarily.

This is what the county government gave to Yulu, with a hundred taels of silver per month, and he has no worries about life, so he can naturally concentrate his main energy on storytelling.

It can be said that by May, the situation was very good.

But Su Tiancheng's thoughts are not so optimistic.

He noticed that after Zhang Pu returned to his hometown, he lost his trace, never came to Nanjing, and did not preside over the relevant matters of the Restoration Society.

In addition, the silence of Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society is too unreasonable, you must know that there are many officials in the imperial court, who are themselves members of the Donglin Party, and fully support the Restoration Society, in Su Tiancheng's view, the growth of the Zhongxing Society is by no means smooth sailing, at least with the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, there are several theoretical debates and games.

Look at how much blood and rain the Donglin Party went through when the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party struggled, under such difficult circumstances, the Donglin Party did not fall, and now this blow is nothing, if it surrenders so quickly, I am sorry for so many supporters.

Su Tiancheng has always believed that military strikes are a form of auxiliary, and improving the people's livelihood is fundamental, and in order to rule the world and develop and grow, the most important thing is the influence of culture.

Su Tiancheng's worries are not groundless.

It has been half a year since the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, but few people have joined the Donglin Academy and the Fuxing Society, which can be regarded as standing still, which shows that they still adhere to their own understanding, still adhere to the previous ideas, and do not approve of the understanding advocated by the Zhongxing Society, but when the Zhongxing Society is vigorously developing, they avoid its edge.

Such a situation indicates that there are high-level people who are instructing.

Could it be that this person is Zhang Pu, or Qian Qianyi, or that they accepted the advice of some officials in the imperial court, temporarily stopped fighting, and waited for the best opportunity.

The big confrontation on academic research that Su Tiancheng had been waiting for did not appear.

Zhongxing Society has saved so much information, conducted so many researches, and many members have gone deep into the farmers and the market, and have mastered a lot of information.

In this case, Su Tiancheng has no way, he can't be unreasonably suspicious, when he chatted with Sun Chuanting, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Lu Shanji and others, he did not completely deny Donglin Academy and Fushe, but also sharply criticized, the core of the focus is still on two aspects, clean talk and unprincipled protection of the interests of the bureaucratic gentry class.
