PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In the hustle and bustle, I always feel that the days pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the beginning of July, and God seems to make up for the decades of Xiaoice period, and this summer is particularly hot.

Although he was about to steam people, Zhang Laohan was still patrolling his fields with a hoe outside Yangzhou. To say that Zhang Laohan's family is now quite famous in Yangzhou City, although some people are still not convinced, they can't stand the fact that they have two competing sons.

The eldest son Tiezhu made great contributions in the battle to protect Guazhou, and was later appointed as the head of the township by the Nanjing government, in charge of a township.

Knowing that the lock pillar has not yet started a family, since last year, the matchmaker has almost stepped on the threshold, but the lock pillar said that his marriage does not need to be managed by his parents, he himself knows how to find, this child is really, how can there be a marriage that is not managed by parents, but the lock pillar said, the governor said so, Zhang Laohan has nothing to say.

Although he doesn't have to take care of himself, Zhang Laohan is still paying attention at any time, not long ago, Song Juren in Yangzhou City also found someone to come to the media, which made Zhang Laohan feel very face-saving, you must know that these people would not look at their mud legs before, but he heard that the daughter of the old man's family was wrapped in small feet, so he was reluctant at that time.

When Suozhu was at home, he said that he would not marry a woman with small feet, which Zhang Laohan remembered best.

It's getting hotter. Zhang Laohan turned his mind to the crops in his field. The rich people in the city are too hot. But the croppers don't think so, now is the time for rice to bloom and fill the grain, and what they want is the sun.

Zhang Laohan squatted down and carefully looked at the rice in the field, these rice with chemical fertilizer are growing very well, but they are too pest-insect-friendly, so I have to let the lock post tell the Metropolitan Governor that they came from heaven. There are certainly ways to deal with pests.

Liu Meng is also inspecting the crops in the field next door, and his field is now also using chemical fertilizer, saying that chemical fertilizer is used, in fact, Liu Meng's family used it last year, chemical fertilizer is really good, when the family was green and yellow, he was always worried about a bite to eat, this year is different, and now there is a lot of food in the granary at home.

"Lao Zhang, on such a hot day, you don't rest at home. Still busy? Liu Meng said to Zhang Laohan, since Suozhu became the captain of the guard of the Metropolitan Governor. Liu Meng never called Zhang Laohan "Old Zhangtou" again.

"We're just a farmer, can we still be afraid of the heat? Looking at the growth of crops this year, it is another bumper harvest year! ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Now that life is better, I wonder if I will have to turn over my family's house after selling grain this year. At that time, Lao Zhang, you have to help me choose the materials, your face is big, and it will definitely be a lot cheaper. ”

"Folks, if you can help, I will definitely help you, and you can just call me when the time comes."

Zhang Laohan didn't shirk at all, and the last time he left, the lock pillar had specially explained, but he couldn't change his family because he became the captain of the guard of the metropolitan governor.

This year's grain harvest is visible, everyone used to worry that the yield is high, and the grain price will fall, but the Nanjing government has issued a proclamation, which clearly says that the grain price will definitely not fall, which makes the croppers begin to look forward to the future life.

Just when Zhang Laohan and Liu Meng were chatting while working, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the official road in the distance, and the two stood up and looked into the distance.

"Liu Meng, look at who they are? I don't have a good eye. Zhang Laohan said to Liu Meng.

"Ahh It's the Metropolitan Governor, I seem to have seen your lock pillars! Liu Meng exclaimed in surprise.

"The Metropolitan Governor has returned to Yangzhou? Since the governor left Yangzhou, he hasn't come back once. Zhang Laohan was also very surprised.

Luo Jian has not been back to Yangzhou for several years, and he also wants to come back to see what the place where he started has become now, but he always can't get out of the body before, Yuan Jixian, who went to Hubei a few days ago, was the first to return to Nanjing, and with him watching in Nanjing, Luo Jian was finally able to take a few days to go back to Yangzhou to see.

Let's take a look at the development and changes in Yangzhou is actually secondary, Luo Jian came mainly to find Gu Yanwu this time.

Since Gu Yanwu took charge of Yangzhou, he has almost never met Luo Jian, although Yangzhou is close to Nanjing, but Gu Yanwu happened to meet Luo Jian leading troops when he returned to Nanjing several times, and the two had not met for more than two years.

Although Luo Jian's coming to Gu Yanwu this time was not a top priority, and it was not a matter of one day, Luo Jian was afraid that he would not have time to come back when he was busy in the future, and secondly, he was afraid that he would forget about it again, so he insisted on running back to Yangzhou despite the scorching heat and Liu Lan's dissuasion.

Luo Jiandu was a little surprised by the great changes in Yangzhou for nearly three years, the streets had extended from the east gate to a few miles outside Yangzhou, and the barracks that had been used as the garrison of the first division had long since become a cargo distribution center.

The wide and tidy streets and neat houses made Luo Jian feel that he had returned to his original time and space, and seeing the great changes in Yangzhou, Luo Jian realized that his few people came to this time and space, not only destroying the Manchu court, but also bringing about all-round changes.

Luo Jian's visit to Yangzhou this time was to prepare for the reorganization of the Nanjing government.

At that time, in order to win the support of more Ming Dynasty remnants and young people, most of the people adopted were still called the Ming Dynasty, and some things did not fundamentally change in essence.

Now that the national issue is about to be resolved, a reshuffle of the government will also be put on the agenda.

However, the current government work model has gone through more than three years, and many people have adapted to this model, if it changes suddenly, I am afraid that many people will not be able to accept it ideologically, and even Shi Kefa has some problems.

Only then did Luo Jian think of letting everyone know theoretically that the current model was not suitable for future development, but theoretical summary was not Luo Jian's strong point, not to mention being entangled in affairs. I don't have that much time to think. Only then did Luo Jian think of Gu Yanwu, a famous theorist in history.

When Luo Jian returned to Yangzhou this time, he wanted to talk to Gu Yanwu. If Gu Yanwu can sum up a set of things as a local official, then it will be more closely integrated with reality and more convincing.

Gu Yanwu was also surprised and delighted by Luo Jian's arrival, he had been in charge of Yangzhou for more than two years, and Gu Yanwu, who was good at thinking, had keenly discovered some problems, but these ideas were really a bit high and low in Yangzhou, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to accept his ideas in Nanjing, and he had always wanted to talk to the Metropolitan Governor. But I didn't meet several times when I went to Nanjing, but I didn't expect that the governor would come to Yangzhou in person today.

Gu Yanwu knew that Luo Jian didn't like the welcome and send-off in the officialdom, and after the city gate guards reported to him the news that the Metropolitan Governor had come to Yangzhou, he did not summon officials to greet him, but just rushed over himself.

"Brother Gui Nian, we haven't seen each other in years, right?" Luo Jian was very happy to see Gu Yanwu coming alone, he didn't want to alarm Yangzhou officialdom this time.

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, we haven't seen each other in over two years."

Gu Yanwu led Luo Jian back to the original Dadu Governor's Mansion. Since Luo Jian and Liu Lan moved away, the Metropolitan Governor has always been empty. Luo Jian once asked Yangzhou to sell the Metropolitan Governor, and the money bought was included in Yangzhou's finances, but no one in Yangzhou came to buy the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and everyone said that the Metropolitan Governor had lived here and would stay here forever.

Gu Yanwu respected everyone's opinions, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had always followed Luo Jian's arrangement when they were there, but the government had arranged for some people to guard inside.

Dinner was also simple, Gu Yanwu arranged for someone to make a few exquisite side dishes in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, brought a pot of wine, and the two began to talk while eating.

Luo Jian didn't expect that he wanted to talk to Gu Yanwu about the problem he wanted to talk to, he had already thought about it, and thought that he would save a lot of trouble now.

Although many of Gu Yanwu's ideas were still relatively naïve in Luo Jian's opinion, Luo Jian knew that these thoughts were just Gu Yanwu had just begun to think, and for the current environment, it was extremely difficult to think about this step.

The two talked about the structure of the government, and talked about "benefiting the country and enriching the people", "those who are good for the country, hide it from the people", Luo Jian was a little surprised that Gu Yanwu showed a certain amount of "public governance" thinking at this time, it turned out that his ideas would not gradually mature until his later years, and now because of the different environment, there is already a sprout.

In addition to being busy these days, Luo Jian has been thinking about how to go in the future, in other words, what kind of system should be established in this country to ensure long-term and stable development.

Although Luo Jian said in his negotiations with the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he was in Beijing that the victory of the Nanjing government was a victory of the system, Luo Jian knew in his heart that the victory of the Nanjing government was not so much a victory of the system as an inevitable result of advanced technology.

Luo Jian knew that since the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, it was still modeled after the cabinet system of the previous Ming Dynasty, but this cabinet system was developed to an extreme, and at the same time, the cabinet was not pressed with the daunting imperial power on its head.

Luo Jian also knows that the implementation of democracy in China today is just his wishful dream, and he thinks that his attempt in Yangzhou is a bit naïve now.

But after all, democracy is a trend, and not being able to do it now does not mean that it can't be in the future, Luo Jian knows that he can still guide the development of the whole country for a long time in this era, so why not start some ideological enlightenment from now?

This is also the fundamental purpose of Luo Jian to come to Gu Yanwu, Luo Jian hopes that Gu Yanwu will become a pioneer of democratic ideological enlightenment, and the reorganization of the government is on the one hand to better adapt to social development, and on the other hand, it is also to lay a certain institutional foundation for ideological enlightenment.

As for which democratic system is more suitable for China in the future, Luo Jian feels that he has not been able to think about it so far, even if he does not return to the original time and space, he will also grow old. Although we know the trend of the development of the whole world in the next few hundred years, the world has been completely changed by itself, and no one can say whether the previous experience will be used in the future.

Luo Jian stayed in Yangzhou for three days, and he almost didn't leave the original Dadu Governor's Mansion for these three days, Gu Yanwu stayed here except for returning to the Yangzhou government to make some arrangements and explanations, no one knew how long the two had been talking, and no one knew what they had talked about.

But many people in Yangzhou know that Gu Yanwu seems to have changed a lot since he talked with the governor of Dadu, except for working hours, he bows his head and ponders a lot of times, and at night he writes in the study.
