Chapter 6: The County Master of the Tiger Class
Early the next morning, when Lu Hong was fiddling with his fists and feet and exercising by the way, Qin Tianmin appeared early, obviously, this guy heard Lao Qin talk about yesterday's incident, so as soon as they met, he said with a concerned look: "Engong, I know that you can't see those grievances, but it's better to be careful with the snakes in this place, so as not to trap them, today we have done something, let's go to Fei County as soon as possible!" ”
Lu Hong heard the concern in his words, nodded knowingly, he also understood this truth very well, the two chatted a few more words, and after breakfast, they got into the carriage and went to the yamen together, with Qin Tianmin, a little bureaucrat, he was a lot more worried, and the fall of the Mengyin County Ya made him, a traverser, also surprised for a while.
In his later life, he also went to a certain scenic spot to visit the local county government and other historical sites, however, the county government of that era was repaired many times, very bright, I did not expect that I came to this era, the first time to enter the Mengyin County Ya, in addition to the two county government gates are still complete, the eaves of this eaves actually broke a big hole of a foot, and there was a corner of the wooden beam on the four corner of the hanging tower has been decayed and broken.
And after entering the county office, Qian Zhutou waited early in the morning, and after saluting Qin Tianmin, who had an official body, he said two more words to Lu Hong, which was nothing more than the etiquette of seeing officials, the preferences of this Wu County Order, etc., however, because it was not a hall today, there was naturally no need to bow like the kind of bow in the pigtail play, but Wu Zhixian named Lu Hong to summon him, so he still gave a special advice.
And the smoothness of this yamen is quite beyond Lu Hong's expectations, the so-called reasonable and no money to enter the yamen, today's efficiency is surprisingly high, and Qin Tianmin once he arrived in this place, quite a bit of anti-customer-oriented, Qian Zhutou also deliberately scolded him, and he had already done it in a small half a day, and after the reward of silver and profit, there were still 35 taels and the silk license that proved that he killed the Yimeng bandits had been handed over to him.
Later, he followed Qian Zhutou to the second hall to wait for Wu Zhixian to summon him, Qin Tianmin unexpectedly did not follow up, and this Mengyin Yamen was not idle at this time, Wu Zhixian was obviously discussing matters in the hall, and Lu Hongdu, who was standing outside the door of the second hall, heard a loud Shanxi accent inside talking loudly about what Qing Shengli was talking about......
Qian Catcher got the credit of Lu Hong's free gift of catching and killing bandits, and he also received the benefits of Qin Tianmin's 1 tael of silver before, and his attitude was naturally very polite, and when he was waiting, he chatted in a low voice, Lu Hong confirmed some news, this Wu Zhi County's name Wu Yuncai, the word Hedong, is really a native of Liaozhou, Shanxi, unexpectedly, this old man is from the tiger class of the Hanlin Academy......
After a while, several scribes, officials and servants came out of the house with bitter faces, Qian Zhutou hurriedly went in Tongbing, and after Lu Hong entered, he saw a forty-year-old and long-bearded official sitting on the Taishi chair, wearing a seven-pin Hongshu official robe, but this Zheng'er Eight Classics and Two Rank Jinshi, Hanlin was born in the outer release of the Qipin County Master is a thin, old-fashioned horse face, without the slightest elegant appearance he imagined.
"Master, this is Lu Hong, who hunted and killed the gangster Ma Heizi in Yangzhai on Yimeng Mountain, the leader of the bandits has been approved by Master Chen, and he is indeed a real criminal!" The money catcher next to him has already opened his mouth first, this fat man has taken the silver and credit, but he has done his duty.
Wu Xian Ling stroked his long beard, and a smile appeared on the horse's face, he already knew these things, yesterday Qian Zhutou came to tell him, the dozen or so bandits and a living mouth have already let the scribe finish writing the recital, and they were all sent to Jinan Mansion in the morning, just waiting for Xu Gong, the reason why he wanted to meet Lu Hong was only because Qian Zhutou said that Lu Hong was returning from an overseas study tour.
"Lu Hong, this time to eliminate harm for the people, he is really a pillar of the country!" Wu Xianling opened his mouth to praise two sentences, but this tone made Lu Hong feel unspeakably uncomfortable, he naturally humbly gave a few polite sentences, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Wu County, but it was inconvenient to answer at will.
Wu Xian Ling was a little surprised by Lu Hong's attitude of not being arrogant or humble, he originally thought that this Lu Hong was also a brave warrior, but he didn't expect that after a few words, the other party's answer was also very decent, which was a little more interesting, he summoned today naturally not to simply praise Lu Hong, but to have other meanings, after a few words, immediately cut to the point.
"Lu Hong, I heard that you are a student who returned from overseas, I wonder if the Westernization industry you have seen promoted by Taixi is the best choice for a rich country and a strong army, as those foreigners in Beijing said?" Wu Xianling changed his words, but asked a question that surprised Lu Hong, and the Qian Zhutou next to him was completely like an old monk at the moment, and this guy was well versed in the rules of officialdom.
Lu Hong's mind turned sharply at the moment, he is not a white ding, he still understands the truth of seeing people talking about people and talking about ghosts, seeing the old-fashioned horse face of this Wu County Order, which makes him a little worried, he naturally knows a fact, in modern China under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the collision between foreign affairs and tradition has always been very intense, and he originally did not expect that this Wu County Order summons would evolve into a debate conference with a very sensitive proposition......
Of course, he can also shirk the reason for being shallow and avoid talking about it, but this is not his style of doing things, and, more importantly, he also has a little bit of his own careful thinking, anyway, to expand and comment on this kind of proposition, with his vision of later generations, it is not a problem, the question is, can you cut into the mind of this Wu County Order, this is the difficulty!
He thought about it for a while, arched his hand, and said calmly: "Lord Wu, this foreign affairs is a new learning, the saying of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but there is some truth, but it is not necessarily true, you must know that our Great Chinese civilization has been inherited for 5,000 years, and this profound heritage is by no means comparable to the Westerners' 100-year Renaissance!" ”
He said this without leaking, which not only affirmed the value of foreign affairs from the side, but also held the traditional culture high...... And after finishing speaking, he immediately found that Wu Xianling's expression was obviously softened a lot, it seemed that he was right, he made up his mind and continued: "My lord, the Taixi powers have been strong for a hundred years, but it is indeed because of this Yidi skill, but this so-called Taixi strange skill and silver ingenious thing, in fact, China has been involved in thousands of years, the ancient saying is, the world of the holy king, there is a custom, but the Chinese people have not paid as much attention as the Taixi people!" ”
What Lu Hong said casually, in the eyes of later generations, is completely a common understanding, the European Renaissance movement, the real revival of the European scientific spirit, and the inheritance of Chinese civilization, there has never been a shortage of people who study science, but the Confucian and Mencian Confucianism of the way of governing the world, more is the way of life, but to a certain extent, this scientific spirit has been extinguished.
Of course, his statement deliberately blurred this distinction, but replaced it with whether or not to attach importance to it, this Wu County Order is a master of the prose that was killed in the Bagu Wen, a scholar who has stayed in the Hanlin Academy, and he went to criticize the words of Confucius and Mencius, the mainstay of Chinese studies, which is uncomfortable.
And if he talks about this scientific spirit with this old master, Wu County Ling may not agree with it, but this powerful and powerful truth is fought with real guns and live ammunition of foreign guns and foreign cannons, and he naturally can't turn a blind eye like an ostrich.
Obviously, Wu Xianling felt very novel about Lu Hong's rhetoric, he was a frequent visitor to the Qingliu party when he was in Beijing, and the position of the Qingliu faction in the DPRK and China has always been at odds with the Westernization faction, which is actually more involved in the officialdom struggle, so the Qingliu faction likes to study the problems exposed in the opening of foreign affairs in various provinces, and then use joint performances to state the disadvantages of blindly opening foreign affairs.
He originally summoned Lu Hong, just because he had been an official in Mengyin for three years, and there were few such overseas study tour figures, hoping to hear Lu Hong's opinions, if Lu Hong's views were still the old argument of "mastering the skills of Yi to control Yi", he would naturally not miss the opportunity to refute it, for him, this is also the way to teach future generations.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Lu Hong talked eloquently, but there was some truth in tasting it, which made him talk a little more interestingly, "Lu Hong, your remarks are quite in line with my liking, the words of the sage are the way of building my country in China, and the so-called skill of Shiyi is actually putting the cart before the horse!" Then let me ask you, what do you have to say about my more than 20 years of foreign affairs? What do you think? ”
As soon as Wu County Ling asked this, Lu Hong completely figured out the way of this person, and dared to feel that this foreign strategy of mastering Yi's skills to control Yi must be quite dissatisfied, which made him a little entangled, he originally hoped to say that this Wu County Order would engage in some industries in Mengyin, and when the time came, he would be fishing in troubled waters, and in that level of resource collection system, he looked at it casually, at least three or four industries are labor-intensive industries with very little investment, and if you want to do it, you can definitely do it.
He doesn't mind using these industries as a favor, to be honest, he still has some doubts about this super industrial system, and he really needs a test field, if he can say that this Wu County Order, it is a good choice, after all, ...... He was still thinking about this cloudy diamond vein!
