Chapter 13: The Abacus
Looking at the letter in his hand, Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly, and the official document was closed.
He had already sent someone to contact the official document, so that he changed his course and came to Guangzhou to announce that the world supported the establishment of Emperor Tongzhi, but this official document wrote a letter saying that he wanted to contact many parties, and took advantage of Zeng Guofan's arrival in Changsha to support the army and stand on his own, so as to make Guangzhou a momentum, and it would take time for Zeng Guofan to communicate with the capital, and he had enough time to deploy everything.
But who is Zeng Guofan? How could they wait for the six kings to make it clear? Since he was awarded the governor of Huguang, I am afraid that the Hunan army will enter Changsha Mansion in an instant, and if there is any change in the official documents, then the excerpt will be used, of course, it will be grasped first.
The official document can't help but see the actions of the heroes in troubled times as simple? The world is in chaos, and the ghost will tell you the rules.
"Lord Wang, Seventh Master, they have arrived!" The guards outside the palace reported that the seventh master naturally referred to Debin, the deputy chief inspector of the Provincial Bureau of the Patrol Fang, and there was no semicolon except him.
Ye Zhao nodded: "Please come in." ”
Debin came with Guo Luo Luo, accompanied by a beautiful young woman in a pink skirt and a green shirt, but she was the most favored concubine Narcissus next to Tang Shuyi, the former general's official and the political envoy of Guangdong, who had been imprisoned.
Sitting on the sofa behind the yellow curtain, Debin said, "Ah, brother, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've eaten with you." ”
Ye Zhao looked at Debin and felt a trace of warmth rise in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then it's noon today, you all stay, Lao Qi, I have recently practiced burning geoduck with one hand, it is fresh and beautiful, you should satisfy your cravings." ”
Debin said happily: "Okay, good." ”
Guo Luo Luo and Narcissus were naturally very respectful, and they didn't interject, just listened quietly on the side.
Narcissus and Guo Luo Luo were already familiar with each other, the two would occasionally drink tea together, the Tang family was copied, Narcissus was in trouble, Guo Luo Luo took care of it in many ways, and revealed the meaning of cashing her to Debin as a concubine, Narcissus was panicking and said that there was no backbone, of course, there was no way to agree.
Guo Luo Luo is also helpless, Debin is her wife, but she has not been able to give birth to a boy and a half girl over the years, although Debin is willing not to take a concubine, but how to spread it seems that she is not, and to say that Debin is a yellow flower girl, Guo Luo Luo is not willing to say anything, Narcissus is just right, when he is desperate, he is extremely obedient, plus he was once a prisoner and concubine, and he has been a prisoner and concubine, and he has been steadily pressed on her head for a lifetime, even if she gives birth to a boy to Debin, she can naturally bring it over and raise it by herself, and be his own mother.
It's just that although only Tang Shuyi and a few relatives who participated in the secret discussion of the Tang family have been arrested, and the narcissus and even the eldest wife of the Tang family have not been left behind, but who knows if the family will be exterminated next, this matter of accepting narcissus into the house naturally cannot be rushed, so as not to be involved, even if Debin and the prince have an unusual relationship, but it does not make the prince angry, if it is cold, how can Debin be born?
Today, Guo Luo Luo asked Debin to explore the prince's mouth in advance, can he bring her close friend Narcissus when he visits the prince, Debin is ignorant, he only knows that Brother likes to be lively, but he didn't think much about it, he told Ye Zhao yesterday, Ye Zhao smiled and said it was okay.
Guo Luo Luo has the bottom in his heart, it seems that even if the Tang family is really going to be copied and killed next, for Debin's sake, most of the small life of Narcissus can be saved.
Sitting here and listening to Wang Ye and Debin laughing and chattering, Guo Luo Luo naturally did not interject.
Waiting for Ye Zhao to look at her, he said with a smile: "Brother and sister, I heard that you funded a primary school in Chaozhou Mansion, thank you as an elder brother!" Brother and sister are kind-hearted, okay! ”
Nowadays, there are fundraising activities similar to the Hope Project in Guangzhou, of course, different from later generations, after all, there are many poor people, can the national donation not mutate into a disguised donation? This fundraising is aimed at high-ranking families, and donors donate money to build primary schools in the countryside. Tuition and miscellaneous fees, teaching money and food, are also borne by the good man, and the school is mostly named after the good man.
However, it is said that it is a donation to a school, but also responsible for follow-up expenses, in fact, it does not take a few money, the primary school in a remote village, just build a large bungalow can be a school building, as for the textbook and pen teachers, it depends on the donation of good people, and there is a simple way, even if it does not fund paper and pen, these children use sand as paper, stick as pen, and can also learn to contact new culture, relatively simple school, dozens of silver oceans a year are enough.
Guo Luo Luo is generous, donating 100 silver oceans a year, she is also one of the more famous female philanthropists in the women's circle in Guangzhou, and the photos have been in the Cantonese newspaper, and the limelight is very strong. That's no way, compared with those great benevolent people, the money she donated is naturally insignificant, but the value is in the four words of female philanthropist, and now women show up to engage in charity, which is really rare.
In fact, Ye Zhao sometimes thinks that if a woman like Guo Luo Luo doesn't make mistakes in the future, and history continues to develop according to his own ideas, maybe she will be a highly respected figure in the history books a hundred years later. So how can people comment on this historical figure?
Guo Luo Luo listened to Ye Zhao's praise, and said with a smile: "The concubine body doesn't dare, the concubine body is just a little thin, if you say that the house is benevolent, who dares to boast in front of the prince?" Guo Luo Luo's family in Guangzhou is like a fish in water, as the general Wang's family of friends, noble wives, frequently appear on charitable occasions, highly respected by all walks of life, and have an exclusive interview in the Cantonese newspaper, that vanity is really unprecedented satisfaction, often pondering, if it is in Yanjing City, even if it is the prince Fujin? It's not like this today.
But she also knows that in fact, the really powerful people who turn the clouds and rain are very low-key, not to mention Xiao Fujin in school, that is really a sentence can determine their own life and death, but people carry a schoolbag to go to school every day, this is really calm, people are envious to death. Master Feng is also low-key and mysterious, and those giants in Guangzhou City don't know how to curry favor with her, but this kind of limelight is never there, but I heard that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are in and out of my mouth.
Therefore, there must be people who put a high profile in front of the stage, but at a certain level, you will know who is the one in the circle.
Guo Luo Luo pondered wildly, and when he saw that the prince was talking to him, he had a chance, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you haven't seen the narcissus yet, have you?" The seventh person in our family. ”
Chang Bin's face turned red all of a sudden, but he woke up in the middle of the night one night, nephrite was warm and fragrant, but it was a narcissus, teasing in every way, he couldn't hold it for a while, and achieved a good thing, I thought that his beloved wife didn't know, who knew that he suddenly mentioned it, he stammered in embarrassment: "No, no, ......no" But seeing Narcissus's complaining eyes, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Zhao smiled slightly, and said to Narcissus: "My seventh brother is honest, you and your younger siblings are not allowed to join forces to bully him." "It's a good thing that Debin can fill a room, no matter what, he can balance the strong Guo Luo Luo.
Narcissus lowered her head and whispered, "Yes." Before coming to the palace, she didn't mention how worried she was, but she didn't want King Su to be far from being as terrible as she imagined, and she was so kind to Debin, and her heart finally fell back into her stomach.
Think about it a month ago, I was still listening to how the old man Tang was proud to bring down King Su, how stupid it was for King Su to support the little brother and call him the emperor, what time and place were not on King Su's side, and what Guangzhou couldn't last a month, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, the old man was arrested by the fierce and vicious servants, and was sentenced to prison yesterday, sixty years, what a crime of rebellion, but the thought did not cause harm, and he was punished lightly.
In the Tang Mansion, the people were panicked, and they all knew that King Su was about to stab the Tang Mansion, including Narcissus, in the hearts of everyone in the Tang Mansion, this King Su was undoubtedly more terrible than the demon.
But now it is the first time I see the true face of Lushan, but it is handsome and delicate, kind and kind, faintly there is a dragon and tiger atmosphere, listening to him is like a spring breeze, where is the demon? This is the feeling of a different position, and his friends and enemies are very different, right?
Ye Zhao looked at Narcissus and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Tang Shuyi and his accomplices will be questioned according to the law, but the rest of the Tang Mansion will be fine, and they will do whatever they want in the future, and those who want to go back to their hometown will be released." Not to mention you, in fact, it has little to do with the Tang family. Now Tang Shuyi is sentenced to 60 years, even if there are various contributions to reduce the sentence in prison, it is better to sit through the bottom of the prison, in fact, it is better than cutting off his head, one to show the benevolence of the Southern Dynasty, and the other is to gradually improve the code and implement the spirit of the rule of law from top to bottom.
Although the Tang family was copied, it was not the ordinary relatives who were sent as military slaves before, and even their eldest wife left a considerable amount of money, as for an official who had exposed Tang Shuyi who had participated in the rebellion earlier, he was pardoned for his crimes, which seemed to give a signal to the officials of the Beijing division and the governors of various places, so that they knew that the Southern Dynasty was magnanimous, but they had already left a way back for themselves. In fact, why didn't Ye Zhao take the opportunity to gradually infiltrate the concept of the sanctity of private property? As for the punishment of Zhulian and so on, it must be abolished step by step.
Narcissus's heart is really put back in his stomach, but he doesn't want to be a blessing in disguise, and when he enters the mansion of this kind of family, he is already a guest of King Su in a blink of an eye, which is a hundred times stronger than following the old man.
"Old Seven, pick a good one, I will definitely arrive when the time comes." Ye Zhao looked at Debin with a smile.
During the Debin period, Ai Ai was speechless.
Ye Zhao was about to say more, but the guards outside the hall said, "Lord Wang, Chief Rui and Commander Ding have arrived." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "Hey, this is not a coincidence, Seventh, you and your younger siblings are walking around the house, I still have some business to do." ”
Debin, Guo Luo, and Narcissus hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Rui Si is dressed in a dark gray tweed Zhongshan uniform, although he is still skinny and hemp, but in the past few years, he has also gained some momentum, and Ding Qimei's dark green military uniform and black riding boots are heroic, and it is very much the posture of the female military officer in the later film and television works, and the Flying Tiger Battalion has just changed into a new military uniform, which is more than 30 years earlier than the brave change of clothing of the Qing Dynasty soldiers in history, which can be regarded as a prelude to Ye Zhao's reform of military uniforms.
Although the Flying Tiger Battalion is a battalion, in fact, the number of people has already exceeded 1,000, and the plainclothes team performing various tasks and the well-equipped rifle team can be described as an extremely important special armed force in Ye Zhao's hands.
The magazine rifles that the arsenal is tackling have gradually gained eyebrows, but if they think that they cannot be mass-produced at the beginning, the first batch of rifles equipped with this kind of rifle will naturally be the Blue Flag Guard and the Flying Tiger Battalion Rifle Team.
At this moment, Rui Si and Ding Qimei sat on the left and right, reporting to Ye Zhao the deployment of the two.
This time Ye Zhao has not been idle for a moment, let's just say Xiangjing, the official document is actually not in Ye Zhao's abacus, in southern Xiangnan, Ye Zhao is an early order to recruit singers and folk artists, and with the assistance of the Xiguan Grand Theater Song and Dance Troupe, choreographing song and dance arts, all of which are programs to promote the beautiful life of Guangdong and Jiangxi, and then will be divided into several propaganda teams to tour the countryside in southern Hunan.
Whether it is all kinds of theories, propaganda teams, or even the martyrs' cemetery that inspires all the officers and men of the Pingyuan Army, to a certain extent, it is a kind of brainwashing.
And Ye Zhao, who has experienced the brainwashing era and seen various brainwashing methods in the East and the West, is naturally perfect in using it.
Of course, it may be darker to call brainwashing, if it is so, human beings can be called brainwashing if they are educated from birth, and the spirit of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and the wonderful meaning of accumulating good deeds, Ye Zhao hopes that it can always become the backbone of the nation, and the fire will be passed on from generation to generation.
In addition to the art troupe, Ye Zhao also made Ruisi's Internal Affairs Bureau expand greatly, and developed branches in all important towns across the country, spying on news, obtaining intelligence, and getting acquainted with officials and gentry.
The intelligence officers who were selected to go to each branch had their own division of labor, and there were more specialized clerks with solid theories who were responsible for publicizing the significance of the revolution in Guangdong and Jiangxi.
Ding Qimei's Flying Tiger Battalion wants to develop an underground armed underground organization in such an important town, but it is completely two lines from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and only the highest commander of the branch knows each other, and they can act in a coordinated manner, so that major losses can be avoided, and if the top commander of the branch is captured and betrayed, it is really impossible.
Listening to Rui Si talk about the fact that there is also a printing house in the Tianjin Concession and the first newspaper, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "That's good, you can borrow it, the freedom of speech in the concession, get some articles in the newspaper every once in a while, this newspaper is not only in the concession, it can flow into Zhigu City, and even enter the Beijing Division." ”
Speaking of which, Ye Zhao is really a little eager to try, this is to engage in underground organization and propaganda in the concession, and even organize any demonstrations and demonstrations in the future, so who is more experienced than him, a person with two lifetimes? If he does it himself, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and he is not at all like Ruisi's people, crossing the river by feeling the stones.
It's just that I can't move now, although the war between the north and the south has not started, but it is the most important stage, each has its own abacus and its own layout, where can I get out? I can only talk about it later when I have the chance.
Rui Si listened to Ye Zhao's words, nodded again and again, and admired the five-body body in his heart, now everyone is afraid that everyone thinks that the master will recruit troops and horses, and deploy a strategy to attack Fujian, Zhejiang or Hunan Realm, but the master is just speeding up the change of infantry ordnance, streamlining the administration, and his eyes have already been staring at the Jingshi, the northwest and other important places, and the fog is heavy.
