Another year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The summer of the eleventh year of the Yuan Xian of the Chinese Empire came.

Because of the summer vacation, there are a lot fewer people in the university city, Zhou Yu put his hands in his pants pockets, and talked to Lu You while walking.

"Your cousin is really good, why do you hesitate?" Zhou Yu asked.

Lu You's face was slightly red: "Didn't you say that it was a little inappropriate for close relatives to marry, so my mother didn't approve of this matter." ”

"Your mother, alas!" Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed.

Lu You also sighed.

Lu You's father, Lu Zai, is a good-natured person, and since the debate between the country, he has formed a deep friendship with Zhou Quan, which has also led many Confucian students of the new school to switch to practical learning. But his mother has a rigid personality and dotes on Lu You, for fear that other women will rob her son, so it was her niece Tang Wan who originally set Lu You's marriage. But as Tang Wan grew older, Lu's mother became dissatisfied with this niece: first, she was at odds with Tang Wan's mother, her sister-in-law, and second, because Tang Wan was smart and talented, not only brilliant in literature, but also quite good at practical learning, which made Lu's mother a little worried, and her son couldn't suppress this niece.

Zhou Yu has seen Lu's mother's temper, when Zhou Yu went to Lu's house to play in the name of Li Yu at the beginning, he didn't eat Lu's mother's white eyes, Lu's mother guarded him as if he would take Lu You badly, if it weren't for Lu Zai's inability to see and reveal Zhou Yu's identity, Lu's mother might even force Zhou Yu to get out.

"I heard that there is going to be a women's university over there, and my cousin may come to study." Lu You said again.

Although Zhou Quan's order stipulates that Chinese girls and boys have the same right to education, the folk preference for sons over daughters cannot be changed in ten years, except for the four coastal provinces that were the first to be included in Zhou Quan's rule, the enrollment rate of girls in other places is not high, and in some places it is not even ten percent. At this time, there was no special university for girls, and many girls dropped out of school after finishing secondary school.

In order to change this situation, Zhou Quan specially built this women's university in Yingtian University Town, and the first batch of 3,000 women was ready to enroll, and the state paid for room and board, and round-trip travel expenses, and also gave certain subsidies. After completing their studies, they are free to choose whether to join various practical research institutes or become teachers. If he can be self-employed, Zhou Quan will not object.

"I'm going to West Tianzhu with the army." The two walked side by side for a while, and Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.

Lu You was stunned: "Didn't you say okay, let's go together...... Wait, you're going to join the army? ”

"Yes, I'm going to do military service." Zhou Yu said slowly.

Lu You's eyes widened, looked at him for a while, and muttered, "Then you don't have to go to Xitianzhu, you were there last year...... Haven't you had enough? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and did not refute.

Of course, he is fed up, who wants to run thousands of miles away and take risks on the battlefield, last year he saw many comrades in the robe fall by his side, if it weren't for his luck, he would also be one of them.

However, as his father said, if he didn't have the same experience as last year, how could he understand the hardships of the martyrs of this country?

Not only the Chinese Empire, but also the dynasties before China, the Chinese people were able to sweep away the barbarians and naturalize the Yi, not by the warmth of the veins and the spending of money to flatter, but by nothing more than ......

"Iron and blood."

Zhou Yu felt as if he had heard his father's words again.

"You still want to be emperor?" Lu You asked after pondering for a while.

If he didn't want to be the emperor, Zhou Yu could have avoided military service, stayed in a stable place in China, and concentrated on his practical research. With his status as a prince, coupled with practical knowledge, even if he is not knighted in the future, he is enough to have a very high status.

There is no shortage of glory and wealth, but he still has to serve in the military, and the only reason is that Zhou Yu wants to be the emperor.

Zhou Yu nodded at this time: "Yes, I want to be the emperor...... If I hadn't gone through those things in Xitianzhu last year, I would have been a little hesitant, but after those things, I wouldn't hesitate anymore! ”

Zhou Yu did not lie, he did hesitate to succeed to the throne as emperor - among the princes of the Chinese Empire, it was not taboo to talk about this topic, because Zhou Quan made it clear that he would abdicate when he reached the sixty-ninth position. But last year's experience gave Zhou Yu an unprecedented sense of responsibility, this emperor of the empire, he must do it!

"What does the emperor deserve, Your Majesty is tired like that!" Lu You muttered.

"You just say you can't help me!"

Lu You sighed: "How can I help you, you know that I can't be an official." ”

"You don't need to be a political officer, you just need to become a great grandmaster like Ni Pu, and you can help me a lot. If you are one, your younger brother is one, and the two great masters support me, I have the confidence to push the country forward like my father! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu remembered what Yu Yunwen said to him: Your Majesty (Zhou Quan) can hold the world and be the first Ming Jun of a hundred generations, just because Your Majesty has grasped one thing and made real profits with practical learning!

Morality is naturally important, but only morality, that is the saints, the vast majority of the people, also needs to have practical benefits. And what can bring practical benefits to the people, at present, is only practical learning.

Lu You nodded as if he didn't understand.

Zhou Yu entered the army this time, still using a pseudonym, and when he entered the army, he was appointed as a low-level officer, a company in charge of two hundred people. They first trained in Guangzhou for more than three months to get the sergeants accustomed to the hot climate, and then they sailed out to sea for two months and arrived at Faxian City in Lion Prefecture.

At this time, Wei Min had been promoted and became the head of the Tianzhu march, and his station was located in Faxian City. When Zhou Yu arrived here, Wei Min didn't dare to treat him as a low-level officer, so he kept him by his side and acted as a personal guard.

For the commander's personal guard, the training exercises on weekdays are to be beautiful, but there is no need to go to the front line to participate in the war. However, Wei Min didn't dare to let Zhou Yu be idle like this, and often let him follow him, or inspect the troops, or deal with military affairs, but he also lived a very fulfilling life.

In this way, a month later, seeing that he was about to launch a new offensive against Jin Guo, Wei Min gave Zhou Yu two days off to let him rest and rest.

Zhou Yu didn't have any old days in Faxian City, thinking of last year's experience, he relied on his memory to vaguely find the shopkeeper of Zhonglanzhou.

When he arrived here, he was slightly stunned, because the store had changed its signboard, and the original "Zhong Ji Groceries" had become "Li Ji Cooking Cakes".

Zhou Yu went in and bought two cooking cakes, and saw that the shopkeeper was very talkative, so he asked with a smile: "When I came back here, this was still a grocery store, but now it has become a cookcake shop, and I want to come to the original grocery store shopkeeper to make a fortune and return to China?" ”

"What made a fortune and returned to China, the shopkeeper Zhong suffered a disaster, last year he killed someone and sent him to Huzhou to serve hard labor, if he can get it back, it will be five years...... Now it's four years from now. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned again, that is to say, the shopkeeper Zhong was still sentenced by Sanfatai, and five years of exile is neither long nor short, but exile to Hu Zhou makes people feel a little weird.

"He was exiled, why did you get this house by Shopkeeper Li?"

"His daughter-in-law and children can't keep the family business, and they come to the door every day to force debts, so there is only ......"

When the shopkeeper of the cooking cake shop said this, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, looked at Zhou Yu vigilantly, and refused to say any more.

Zhou Yu arched his hand: "Don't hide it, I just came to Lion Prefecture from home, and I am a fellow villager with the shopkeeper Zhong, and his wife asked me to send him a letter, but it can't be delivered to him, but it has to be delivered to his family - I don't know where Zhong Lanzhou's daughter-in-law and children are now?" ”

Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a while, and Zhou Yu took out a silver dollar: "My mouth is very tight, if there is anything, I will definitely not implicate Shopkeeper Li." ”

The shopkeeper Li accepted the silver yuan, and then lowered his voice and said: "Locked up at home, her mother and son are at No. 41 Iron Lock Lane." ”

Tiesuo Alley is not far away, Zhou Yu is fine anyway, he came here for a walk, but he saw that on the wall of this small courtyard, the words "repay debts" and "repay money and debts" were written everywhere, and these words were painted in red, which looked like blood, which made people tremble.

Zhou Yu's brows couldn't help frowning.

He knew that there was such a situation, because of the encouragement of industry in recent years, so many people borrowed money to operate, and if they could not borrow serious money, some people also borrowed from usury with donkey profits. It is easy to borrow when it is time, but it is difficult to repay it when it is time, so there are many cases of debt collection and forced money.

As the emperor, Zhou Quan also knew about this, but he couldn't manage it so carefully.

"Huh?"

He was about to knock on the door, but he heard the gong ringing in the house, Zhou Yu was shocked, this is a signal of urgency, usually there is a thief or water, and the gong will be sounded.

As long as the gong sounds, then the patrol will inevitably arrive, Zhou Yu glanced at it, and saw that it was not a fire, so he was not in such a hurry to break in.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw a few patrols hurrying over, and when they reached the door, the door was opened, and a fat man walked out.

Zhou Yu was stunned again, and then his brows tightened.

He knew this fat man, and it was the eighth master he saw last year.

He remembered that Yu Yunwen had managed to depose this person's Lion State political participation status last year, and there were some people who would attack this person's property. But now that Zhou Yu looks at him, he is still wearing gold and silver, and even if he doesn't look as good as last year, he can't say that it's worse.

"Brothers, you have worked hard, the little mongrels of the Zhong family don't know anything, and they called you here again." Wang Baye smiled and arched his hand to those patrols.

The patrol went in and took a turn, and after coming out, Zhou Yu heard a person say to the king: "Old eight, if you want to be in debt, you will be in debt, but don't make us embarrassed." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to embarrass my brothers, the sluts and thieves of the Zhonglanzhou family would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish by now...... It is a natural thing to repay debts, even if the official who helped their family last year comes back, he can't stop me from asking for debts! Wang Ba said with a cruel smile.

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curved downward, if Lu You was there, he would know that he was angry.

It stands to reason that he should have gone to prison a long time ago, but now it seems that although he has lost his status to participate in politics, he is still at large, and even uses other means to take revenge on Zhong Lanzhou's family.

Behind this, if there is nothing greasy, who will believe it?
