"The defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War is not a military defeat, but a defeat of the system, a system of the emperor, and a defeat of the constitutional system......" Different from Kang Zuyi, this young man named Liang Rengong has a loud voice and a clearer thinking, and he is more suitable to assume the role of an instigator than Kang Zuyi. In other words, the master and apprentice form a complement.

Kang Zuyi gathered people with fame, and then threw out a very attractive topic, and then Liang Rengong enriched it, but the cooperation was perfect and seamless. He spoke for dozens of minutes, first about the system, and then about the disadvantages of the times.

For example, the inaction of the imperial court, the laziness and bad rules of the various yamen, and then the various shortcomings in the local area and the hardships of the people, finally returned to a topic, if you want to save the country, the only way is to change the law. Only by changing the law can the country become rich and strong, and can the Dajin country no longer be bullied by outsiders. As for the means of changing the law, it is also very simple, learning from the neighboring country Fuso, or the powerful Albiang, can make the Jin country change greatly from now on.

When he had finished speaking, he saw the young man who had just brought them to him, and came out with a ledger in his hand, and went around the room, like an apprentice in a teahouse, collecting money. It turns out that today's speech is to announce the establishment of the National Preservation Association, and everyone who writes down their names on it is a member of the National Protection Association, and from then on they will work together to save the country and the people.

Due to the lack of funds for the founding of the National Preservation Association, we would like to ask for your help and donations. According to the account book, it is both a list and a merit book, and the amount of donation will be indicated. When the country prospers in the future, it will have its own supplementary report.

These people who can sit in the house are all wealthy people, and their generosity is not a problem. In particular, after the young man pointed out at the right time that although this Baoguo was organized by Kang Zuyi, the real leaders were the head of the household department, Zhang Yinheng, the minister of the general office of national affairs, and Song Bolu, the head of Shandong Province.

When he came to Zhao Guanhou, he saw that the number on the account book was five hundred and one thousand, and looking at the name, there were two people from the clan. Zhao Guanhou smiled and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he was asking, but he still replied: "My name is Kang Zuren, and Mr. Changsu, who just gave the speech, is my brother. ”

"Oh, okay then, I won't write my name, you take the money." Zhao Guanhou stretched out his hand and touched more than a dozen coppers from his waist, put them on his hand, pulled Yuqing up and put on his coat and left.

Yuqing seemed to be a little interested in what the Baohui would say, but her man wanted to leave, and she had no choice but to whisper: "You...... What are you doing? You give ten money, aren't you a humble man? ”

"How can this be called a cold man, he is worth ten sons. I have this kung fu, listen to a paragraph of Shuangwenxing or poor is not afraid, and the mouth is much more positive than him. Listen to that Cantonese accent, you won't be guilty of listening. ”

When he got to Hensmei, Jin Shi was still thinking, "What they said, in fact, there is some truth, Daikin is like this now, if he doesn't do something, I think it will be over." ”

"I'll say that kind of soup too, but does it work? Those drawbacks can be seen by the people below, but what to do and whether they can be done is another matter. This pair of saints and apprentices regarded others as saints, and then said a bunch of big truths, thinking that if others did according to the reason, the world would be fine. But in this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, how can they all do according to reason? Thinking of people as machines is their biggest problem, this brain, not turning. ”

Zhao Guanhou couldn't explain it, he thought he had met a street speaker, and he didn't want it to turn out to be Jian Zhengju. After thinking about it, he gave an example: "It's like seeing you Amma, if you Amma's family doesn't accept door bags, of course everyone is very happy." But those slaves and maids who came to the kitchen should not be happy. No matter how reasonable you say to the people, how can they be happy when they suffer a loss? They don't think about how to compensate these people, they just want to change a group of politicians to cooks, and this breath has changed, and your palace is not messed up? And when it comes to the country, if all the officials are removed and replaced with new people, how can the world be good. You let a group of people who have never been a county magistrate force to manage the government pipeline, even if you don't even understand the money and grain taxes, how to do it......"

"What do you mean...... It's not unreasonable, but ...... But you see that there are a lot of people who support Mr. Changsu, they are all scholars, and they can also be wings. ”

"Those scholars have no way to take the imperial examination, and most of them want to fight for their backgrounds, and there are few who really want to work hard. Why do you want him to say that officials should not value qualifications, but talents, because these scholars have no qualifications to talk about, so to speak, it just caters to them. So in this respect, this Mr. Changsu is a very shrewd person, at least he knows how to win people over. Look at it again, who can sit in the room, and who is in the courtyard, Mr. Chang Su's brain is not confused, and he is also looking for someone who can really be an ally. It's a pity that his words are space, and those who really have brains may not be willing to help him. Those uncles are also in a fashionable way, and if he keeps preaching like this, I don't think those people will be able to go a few times. ”

Zhao Guanhou couldn't tell Yuqing anything about mechanical materialism, or what kind of economic foundation or anything like that, so he had to say: "Lord Yuan also donated money at the beginning, didn't he also part ways later?" Zhang Hefei was directly scolded by them, this place is not a pattern of success, at most some unsuccessful people, just send some emotion. If they were allowed to show what they had learned, the situation would only get worse. I don't think it will last long, and those who listen to me will listen to their heresies, and if they refuse to listen...... That's up to you, too. ”

Shigege knew that Zhao Guanhou and Qiang learned to have a grudge, and he would not hide it from others, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, since you said so, I have a sense of proportion." It's just that I like to be fashionable and think it's fun, so I'll listen to it. If you don't like it, just listen to you. Let's go to the theater now, I guess there are still tickets for Xiao Yantian. ”

In the Nanhai Guild Hall, when the song was over, when Kang Zuyi checked the account book, his eyes quickly fell on the number of ten cents, and the name: Zhao Guanhou of Jinmen.

Zhao Guanhou returned to the barracks and truthfully recited the matter of seeing King Qing, and Yuan Weiting was also really happy. No matter what, as soon as this thing is done, his share of income will not be less, and the money for filial piety to Han Rong and even the entertainment joint will be settled.

There are not many holidays in the new army, including the Chinese New Year, and it is said that there are no holidays, but according to the usual practice, double salaries are paid at the end of the year, which is a reward and appeases the morale of the army. However, officers of this rank such as Zhao Guanhou and Cao Zhongkun cannot be treated according to military law if they have red and blue crowns on their heads and their homes are in Jinmen.

It was because of their leave, it was a full month, especially Shen Jinying's side, and sent Zhao Guanhou a reward, which together was four months' salary and hundreds of taels of silver. With this money, he can live a very luxurious life, but when he returned home, what he saw was Su Hanzhi's sad face, and even Jiang Fengzhi on the side had an extremely ugly face.

After careful questioning, I realized that the problem was Qu Tinggui. Zhao Guanhou and Shen Jinying are sisters and brothers, and it will be much easier to order Qu Tinggui's generals. Dr. Qu was a skilled doctor, and after diagnosing the blind man Su several times, he knew that it was a mental illness caused by strong stimulation and excessive tobacco use, so he prescribed some medicine and asked them to go to the Western pharmacy to get it.

This was originally a good thing, but Su Hanzhi muttered a little when he saw that his medical skills were so skillful, and remembered that he had been married to Zhao Guanhou for a while, but his stomach did not move. Qu Tinggui himself is not good at this, so he invited a close friend of his own, who is a famous master in the gynecology department, and after the diagnosis, he euphemistically explained to Su Hanzhi that she has a weak constitution and congenital problems, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to have children in this life.

The idea that there are three unfilial pieties and that no queen is the greatest is a golden rule in the Jin country. If a woman cannot bear children, and her husband divorces her, even her mother's family cannot say anything. What's more, now that Zhao Guanhou has both a top and a yellow coat, it doesn't take too much effort to marry a beauty with status, she is a woman who has no roots and cannot have children, what face does she have to be a big woman? Since the results of the diagnosis came out, until now, Su Hanzhi has always been crying, and Jiang Fengzhi's mood is also very low, after all, if this sister is driven away, what position will she have to appear here again?

Jiang Fengzhi saw Zhao Guanhou coming back, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you quickly persuade and persuade Sister Hanzhi to even pack up her baggage, saying that she is leaving." ”

"Let's go? Where to? Zhao Guanhou grabbed Su Hanzhi's hand and said, "You are my wife, I will not let you go, senior sister, you go and put all the things in her baggage back." ”

When Jiang Fengzhi left, Su Hanzhi said, "Guanhou, I won't leave, I can't bear you." I packed my things just to make room for the owner's house not to live in...... You are the single heirloom of the Zhao family, I can't harm you, not to mention that you don't have to worry about finding a woman to give birth to children for you, so just divorce me. I'll be an old mother for you, or a maid, so you can still see me, if you ...... If you want me, you can come and ask me at any time. But the status of the main room must be given up to someone who can give you a child. ”

"What big deal should I do, isn't it just to give birth to a child, and you will be like this." Zhao Guanhou said as he held her in his arms, "Listen to me, I don't like children, but I don't want them now." I don't know how busy I am at the office now, I can't take care of a child, and I have to be distracted. And I'm here, I swear to you, no matter what my future holds, I will never go down to court for the sake of my wife. ”

Hearing her husband's promise, Su Hanzhi's heart warmed, but then when she saw his half of the gold armor, she felt more and more that she owed him a lot, hugged his neck, buried her head in his chest and cried bitterly. Zhao Guanhou patted her on the back gently, whispered comfortingly, and when Jiang Fengzhi came back, he happened to see this scene outside, and felt that the two of them were intimate, and they wanted to make another position, but it was overwhelming.

On the second day, Huo Qiu and the other three came to visit, which was also to make amends. They were in trouble in the capital, and they should be punished heavily, so they were a little uneasy, but fortunately, Yang Cuiyu said good things, Zhao Guanhou just scolded him, and he didn't take heavy responsibility, and when he returned to Tianjin to hand over the order, he didn't say anything to Yuan Weiting. The three of them thanked him for his grace, and came to thank him, and brought gifts: twelve girls.

Although the Zhao family has subordinates sent by the Meng family, they are not their own after all, and they are not easy to use. Moreover, the Meng family sent all male servants, and the female servants were only two or three old, although their hands and feet were neat, they were not as good as young people after all. The girls sent by Huo Qiu and the others were all between sixteen and eighteen years old, and they happened to be quick with their hands and feet, they could work, and they were good helpers for work.

Zhao Guanhou didn't ask much about the affairs of the inner house, so he specially called Su Hanzhi to meet with a few subordinates, and asked her what she meant. When Su Hanzhi heard that it were twelve young women, she was overjoyed at first, and then asked, "These twelve people, have they ever been married?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, no, I specially asked when I bought it, and they are all big girls."

"Then I'm going to take a look, where are the human teeth, I'll go over and take a look."

When Jiang Fengzhi and Su Hanzhi went out to see people, Zhao Guanhou asked, "Twelve big girls, how much does this cost?" The three of you, do what you can, don't spend it yourself, everyone has to celebrate the New Year. If you don't have enough money, I'll get it for you. ”

"No, it didn't really cost a few." Huo Qiu hurriedly waved his hand, "Now this Jinmen, people are cheap, in the autumn, the Yellow River is flooded, Shandong and Henan provinces were affected, hundreds of thousands of people have no way to live, and they can't wait to starve to death." Those who walked and moved fled to other places, knowing that Jinmen was rich, and many people came here to find a life. But at the end of the year, even Jinmen himself had people frozen to death, let alone them. Now you go to the human market to take a look, a big girl, you can exchange it for twenty catties of coarse grain, we have specially selected these people, and we didn't spend a few. It's cheaper than buying big livestock, if it weren't for the fact that there were no female dependents in the barracks, and I wanted to buy a few for my own warm bedding. ”

"This winter, I don't know how many people will not be able to survive." Zhao Guanhou shook his head, he knew that this was almost a disaster that the Jin Kingdom would have every year, there were natural disasters every year, people fled every year, and the court and the local government were used to it. With so many refugees who can't eat in Jinmen, women can sell themselves, and what should men do? What's more, there are old and weak children, so many people can't eat, if they don't handle it well, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. It's just that he is not in his position, he does not seek his government, and now even the governor's yamen has been sealed, and he is even less in his own control.

He entertained the three of them to stay for dinner, and this meal was made by a girl he bought. It is said that this is a cook, and Huo Qiu and the others decided to buy her at a price of two or five after eating the two side dishes she made. And she used the money to buy some food and leave it for a few children around her.

Zhao Guanhou, who ate this meal, also had a great appetite, and felt that in terms of craftsmanship, although he was not as good as the famous chef in Qinghetang, he was also first-class. When he was full of wine and food, Huo Qiu pouted, "My lord, go and see those girls who bought them, if you like them, you can also lift them up and take a room." ”

"Go out and talk less about this in front of my daughter-in-law, or I'll be over with you!" Zhao Guanhou glared at him, but at this time, Su Hanzhi took the initiative to walk in and said: "Guanhou, they have all taken a bath and changed their clothes, you can also look at them, so that you can recognize who is who." ”

When these girls were purchased, they were carefully selected, and once they were freshened, they were all radiant. Although it is difficult to call it a beauty, it is also a flat head and a straight face, and her appearance is not evil. When those girls saw that Zhao Guanhou, the master was young and heroic, they were also a little shy, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. Zhao Guanhou looked at them one by one, until the last one, and suddenly asked, "Huo Qiu, you come over to me, what's going on with this!" (To be continued.) )
