Jiangning City at the end of the twentieth year of Guangxu seems to have become a frenzied hornet's nest.

Xu Yifan's so-called chaotic life, there is a real shortage of officials in Jiangsu officialdom, miscellaneous officials above the seventh grade of the county government, and alternate officials with envoys from various bureaus in various places, all of whom must gather in Jiangning City.

These words, this important town in the south of the Qing Dynasty, have been driven by cars and horses, and a steady stream of people have come to the city. All the mansions and inns are full, and the flower boats of the Qinhuai River are doing business so well every night that they are in the sky. The popular eldest sister has to turn seven or eight rounds a night, and she is so tired that her bones are soft and her muscles are crisp. All kinds of rumors have completely shrouded this right-shaped resort of the tiger in the dragon pan, making this place show a kind of deformity that is almost pathological and prosperous.

Regarding Xu Yifan's high-profile arrival, everyone has a different mind. There are those who are panicked, those who grit their teeth, those who feel that there is no way out of this boring situation, but they are looking forward to his arrival, and more are insensitive, and only care about whether they can keep their jobs. Most of the people in the officialdom are afraid and hate Xu Yifan, except for a few new-school officials who are familiar with current affairs and have never died in their hearts, every time these officials have a high meeting, they are mostly scolded by him. Among the people, there are more people who talk about Xu Yifan's heroic deeds. The old squires who rose up after the Hongyang Rebellion have been settling down in Jiangning for decades, have property and employment, and even have children who have donated all kinds of officials to eat in and around Jiangsu, and they are deeply disgusted by all possible changes.

And in the Jiangning area, the new gentry who eat Western-style meals and engage in some simple modern light industry and are ambitious and trying to make a fortune are stumbling in the iron wall of the two Jiang gentry, but they have prepared a piece of Chen to prepare Xu Yifan when he arrives, Xu Yifan is certainly a bloody gourd in the northeast of North Korea, but he is also the first to shout the slogan of comprehensive industrialization in North Korea!

Liangjiang has always been a place of humanities, and there are many new-style schools, which can be called the first in the country along with Tianjin, and even Shanghai, which was the first to open up the atmosphere, has to be jaw-dropping. After all, at this time, the political center of South China was still in Jiangning, and it was also the base camp of several generations of foreign talents. There are also the most young people with a certain cultural foundation. Needless to say, the preparatory school of Nanyang Public School, the preparatory class of various foreign universities, the various technical schools set up by foreign talents in the late Qing Dynasty, the Sailor School, the Surveying and Mapping School, the Second Public School of the Manufacturing Bureau, the Jiangnan University Hall, and the Nanyang Public School Preparatory Primary School............ The new school flourished, but the rigidity and dullness of the two rivers can also be called the first along the coast. It is precisely because of this that these cultivated talents could not find a way out in Liangjiang, a place where the forces of the official gentry were almost unbreakable, and after graduation, they could only go to Shanghai, Guangdong, and Tianjin to eat comprador meals, or simply stay abroad, or change careers and pull them down. When Zhan Tianyou was preparing for the North Korean base, he recruited many people in batches in Liangjiang, a large talent pool in modern China, and it is not surprising that Xu Yifan's behavior and style of comprehensive innovation have been transmitted to these new-style talents in Liangjiang.

However, when the officials and powerful gentry gathered in Jiangning in various places, even if they had the heart, where could they still make their own voices!

All kinds of people are mixed together, and there are also telegrams from Suzhou that continue to add new talking points to Jiangning. Xu Yifan In this era, everywhere he goes, there will always be thunderstorms, the sky and the earth will change color, and even in the mouth of Ito Hirofumi, he is still a magister who can make history spin and the stars fall. Before others really arrived in Jiangning, the dark clouds on the horizon had been piled up and layered, as if there were still electric lights rising and falling in the dark clouds, anytime, anywhere, there would be a thunder in the world!

Under the dark clouds, there are all living beings in this era.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ square house in the south of the city, it is a place that the officials who enter Jiangning City love to go. Even if it is said in peace, this house is a place where the officials who come and go to the provincial capital are endless. Not to mention the special situation of this chaotic bee out of the nest now.

The owner of the Fang Mansion is a son of a family who has signed several terms of salt shortage. The money was full, and he couldn't stand the pain of standing in the camp and drilling camps, so he simply went home to receive blessings. He was originally a descendant of the Hunan Army, born in a family, he loves friends, likes to be lively, and is proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and gambling. simply turned his big mansion into a high-level club for civil servants in Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty. The hall is a casino, and the wings on both sides are full of smoking couches, and the good Indian public class is let go of the big guys. The sisters of Qinhuai River Flower Boat came and went, accompanied by gambling, and also accompanied by cigarettes and couches, and other more inhumane things were solved by another yard.

There is also a special stage in the mansion, Jiangning Baiju, Suzhou Pingtan, and Huangmei tunes are all available. Although it is not as big as the scene of Lafayette's troupe, it naturally has a charm when it sings lightly. The chef is even more complete in the north and south, as long as you want it, you can get it! The name of the Fang family's club is famous in Jiangning.

Some bitches who walked west from the drum tower and half-closed the door outside the city, if the good man could take them into the square house, he would not want to be entangled in his head.

At this time, the hall was full of gambling. Observe, titles like Taizun are flying all over the sky. A bunch of officials who were waiting for Xu Yifan to come in Jiangning had nothing to do, and they got together except to gamble or gamble. Some people haven't closed their eyes for two days, and they smoke cigarettes with a soft leather tube attached to their mouths in a hurry, and even if they pull their heads down. The stall is the most lively, crowded with a bunch of people next to the treasure road. Other big and small pai gow, mahjong solitaire, are also everywhere. When the gambling became interested, these people didn't even want a little official body, rolled up their sleeves and shouted, all of them red-eyed.

Some people with special identities are unwilling to join in the fun with this group of real shortage of prefectures and counties, or alternate Taoist platforms, and a table of mahjong is also set up in the upper room of the Fang family. A few people who were trembling when Jiang Ning stomped his feet were playing cards here and discussing matters softly.

Sitting at the top is Jiangning General Yukun, this time Xu Yifan convened a group of officials, but he is a king but not a king, and everyone has nothing to do with each other. But everyone in Suzhou looked at Rong Lu, but they didn't look at him in Jiangning! He just came back from Suzhou, and the people he visited were a bunch of people, and he wanted to take out a sentence of truth from his mouth, and Yukun was all out of control. The family's words are also that adults are sick and afraid of the wind, and they can't see guests. But now he is on the cards, next to him is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Qing official to help him look at the cards, this guy is dazzled and smiling, which looks like a disease!

“…… North Wind Touch! I took a picture...... Which chapter is playing...... I'm afraid I'm going to set off a cannon in this chapter......" Yukun muttered there with the ivory mahjong. The little girl next to her smiled: "Grandpa is so stupid!" Now the north wind is already a bottom, just now the seven dark carvings are two bottoms, grandpa has been lucky recently, the surname Suo will do a handful, make a color and add three bottoms, and look at the bottom of the sea, maybe there is a bottom. It adds up to seven bottoms, Grandpa, you are fighting two or four, ah yo Huangtian, if it falls, this deck of cards is afraid that it will not be 2,800 yuan now Dayang family! ”

Yukun smiled: "Just listen to you!" As he spoke, he played out the 40,000 in his hand and put the cards down. took the eight-inch orchid cigarette from the little girl's hand and took a hard puff.

His next family is Liu Yongshou of Zhentai, Jiangsu Province, who was born in Hanlin and came from the first class of Jingcha. However, when he was in his thirties, he climbed to the position of the third division, and he was listening to the forty or seventy thousand with a deck of cards in his hand, but he didn't look at the forty thousand that was auctioned. Tearing down a chapter of 60,000 yuan, he laughed and said: "Lord Yu, this girl is Lan Xinhui, I really don't know how the adults trained it............ I look at it and say that it's not bad today, Lord Yu simply really accepted this goddaughter, and the lowly officials can't say that they want to congratulate them to show their hearts............"

Yukun laughed: "I can't afford to raise this daughter!" "There are two other people on the card, one is Jiang Daozhong of Jiangsu Xuetai, and the other is Jia Yiqian, the current governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu. It's okay to learn from the platform, and the teachers of the province's scholars really can't pull their faces to join in this excitement. Huang Jingzhi was born in the Huai Army, and he is proficient in the rivers and lakes. Others play thirteen chapters, he can play seventeen chapters. made eye contact with the little girl, and quietly handed over a chapter and three pasts. The little girl pulled Yukun's collar and tried to fill him with cigarettes, and with a shake of her slender hand, she had already changed the cards on the bottom of the sea.

This one really won a big victory, and more than 8,000 people were now under the waist. Take advantage of his good mood. Jia Yiqian said with a smile: "Adults are so lucky! ………… The lowly rank is not as calm as the adults. Xu Yifan's famous 251 arrival, he has always been in his own situation, this official position is not enough, the humble rank really can't stand the humiliation of this guy! In Shanghai, he drove a platform crazy! I really don't know what else he will make when he arrives in Liangjiang! ”

Jiang Daozhong looked like a scientist, touched his beard and said fiercely: "If you are a little loyal to the imperial court, who is willing to wear it with these two hundred and five for a day!" The student made up his mind, he came to Jiangning, and the student immediately complained of illness, and he couldn't stand the etiquette of coming to this court for him! ”

Liu Yongshou was also laughing: "...... I don't know if the Rongzhongcheng in Suzhou is reliable? It is said that Wu Yi Mingjun received the holy decree and is ready to be reorganized into a Fu pacesetter, is this reliable? ”

Although Yukun is a banner person, he is not confused about the affairs of this officialdom, he hugged the little girl and looked at the three of them with a smile, and only after a while did he shake his head and smile: "Didn't you hear that Xu Yifan took tens of thousands of people to the south of the Yangtze River, and also accepted Sheng Xuanhuai's team in Tianjin, I was afraid that all your financial routes would be cut off, so you decided to make such a fuss!" I don't know what Xu Yifan is and I haven't dealt with it, but you are afraid that you will not be able to account for it, and you will move more than 3 million silver from the treasury to Suzhou, and you are also afraid that Xu Yifan's 25 strong hair will be traced, this is a big deal! Originally, the money in this treasury, everyone was pretending to be confused, who wouldn't do that in the Qing Dynasty? It's just that Xu Yifan is a madman! Dare to make such a fuss in North Korea, and can you still afford to send this handle to him? Rong Lu wants to fight against Xu Yifan, and you just take advantage of his momentum, and the sky will fall and there will be the eldest son on top of you............ The people at the bottom were even more afraid of losing their jobs, so they buzzed............ Isn't that the truth? ”

The three divisions of Jiangsu Province looked at each other, and finally sighed: "Why is there such a boss!" If you can't eat it, who is not afraid of him! Adults are merciful, it is best to give us a charter! ”

Yukun has been flattered by the three of them well today, and he has received a lot of benefits recently. simply said the heart-wrenching words: "Three old brothers...... Rong Lu and Xu Yifan will make trouble. What do we do? Let's just eat as officials! We don't care where the wind blows. Everything is still as usual, what are you doing when you see Xu Yifan coming over............ If he is perfunctory to everyone's face, we will be perfunctory, he is the boss, he should give up one step............ Rong Lu and Xu Yifan have a grudge, but we have no enmity with him! But then again, if Xu Yifan arrives in Jiangning City, he really wants to catch our pigtails and move our jobs. I didn't say it, let's make trouble according to Ronglu's charter! ”

At this time, Yukun slapped the table, and the mahjong cards on the table collided with a chaotic sound: "Xu Yifan can really reverse the sky?" He only has 40,000 soldiers on his hands! Wu Yiming's army changes to the pacesetters seems to be true, unless Xu Yifan wants to pull the flag and rebel, otherwise Rong Zhongcheng will have the confidence to fight him! Mobilize the gentry to write, all the provincial income is intercepted and sent to Suzhou, and we will not leave the position. Woo his generals again............ It's really not possible, the whole city of Jiangning is on strike, the surrounding gentry are all their own families, the grain is not sent to the city, the vegetables are not picked in the city, hundreds of thousands of people want to eat, and he can still let the soldiers under his command go to farm? After a few days of trouble, let him go back to North Korea...... I don't believe it, at this moment, he dares to kill people and become the public enemy of the world? His current status is not a little devil who has a false name, as long as he dares to kill people in the humanistic land of Liangjiang, everything he has will have to fucking collapse! I look at Rong Lu's idea, I just want to force Xu Yifan to come to evil, so that all the officials and scholars in the world can see clearly what he is! ”

Yukun said it categorically, but the three divisions of Jiangsu were all like ashes. It really came to that point, when there was a chaos in the two rivers, the gentry boycotted the market, and Xu Yifan's arson suppressed it by killing people. Needless to say, Xu Yifan's reputation has collapsed, but their bad luck is present! Yukun has a city full of easy to hide, and Ronglu is in Suzhou. Where are they heading? It's really better to be sick than to think about it............ But no one is willing to give up this official position, and the benefits that accompany this official position! The emperor blesses, I hope Xu Yifan can be with the light and dust, and can perfunctory with them............ But Xu Yifan, is he really that kind of person?
