In the dead of night, Qin Kan sat in the tent, holding the dim candlelight, and wrote all the details of the trip to Tianjin.

From instructing Pingjiang Bo to intercept the grain after entering Tianjin City, to strictly ordering the Tianjin squires to mobilize clan forces to investigate and report the White Lotus Sect, to burning the official warehouse to set a trap for the White Lotus Sect, and finally forcing the Anti-White Lotus Sect to mobilize troops and horses to encircle and annihilate it, etc., the size should have been written clearly by Qin Kan, and thousands of words were sprinkled.

Putting down the pen, Qin Kan rubbed his sore wrist, read the song from the beginning, and then picked up the pen again, looking a little hesitant.

After the chaos, there will be great governance, otherwise the city of Tianjin will be abolished after he tossed it like this, and the court and the White Lotus Sect have made such a fierce quarrel inside and outside Tianjin, but it is the people who really suffer, a small city has a cult, and then it will cause a military disaster, and the next days will have to face the search and investigation of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the city will be in chaos, where will the people come from a peaceful life?

Zhu Houzhao can pat his ass and ignore things if he messes up, but Qin Kan can't do it.

The ear seems to remember the last meeting with Tang Zihe, in the front yard of Lamei Bloom, he once personally depicted the blueprint of the future Tianjin, this picture is by no means nonsense, he really wants to build Tianjin.

Bordering the Bohai Sea, east of Korea and Japan, south of the Ryukyus, and then south of Southeast Asia, there are natural primeval forests in the north, which can provide enough logs for sea vessels, and the west is close to Beijing, and it is the material concentration of the Cao River such as the Yongding River and the North Canal, so blessed with unique geographical conditions, Tianjin should not be just a small earth city, it should play a greater role.

Allocation of money and food. Promote industry and commerce, set up the administrative yamen of the state capital, rebuild the three guards of Tianjin, and even form a small-scale naval fleet dominated by artillery and muskets to escort the merchant fleets that come and go from the south to the north in the future......

Qin Kan's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and his expression suddenly soared.

When Tianjin became the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty step by step according to his idea, and the Ming Dynasty could not ignore it regardless of the ministers of the court or private businessmen, the long-brewing idea of "opening the sea ban" could almost be officially implemented. The resistance may not be small. However, an extremely prosperous city near the sea has been placed there, and its momentum has been achieved, will the ministers in the court who colluded with Zhejiang and Fujian merchants to enjoy the huge profits of smuggling still be as bold as before to move out of their ancestors to oppose it?

Settle down. Qin Kan thought for a long time. Finally started a new line on the note. Write down.

"The minister has heard the words of the sage, and the only thing that he has written and established is the word 'people's livelihood'. The people are the foundation of the society. The ministers were ordered to investigate the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin, the White Lotus anti-thieves accumulated evil, poisoned the people, Tianjin was built for more than 100 years, the anti-thieves in the city were rampant, the people were not clothed, the food was not hungry, the people were hungry, the people were hungry, the people were the people of the Son of Heaven, why should they be alone in Tianjin? The minister also heard that 'grace and glory are combined, there are festivals up and down, and the way of governance is the way to be governed, and Yu Si is the ......"

Qin Kan elaborated on the importance of Tianjin's geographical location and the necessity of building this coastal city, and then put forward several suggestions, first, to recruit displaced beggars and expand the city, second, to set up a Tianjin government and appoint administrative officials to govern the city, and third, to encourage merchants to enter Tianjin, and the imperial treasury took the lead in setting up a procurement bureau in Tianjin to attract businessmen......

As for the allocation of land for the displaced people, as well as the construction of shipyards, and the opening of the market to lay the groundwork for the future opening of the sea, Qin Kan thought about it for a long time, but did not mention a word after all.

You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, some things can only be gradual, slowly infiltrating and influencing in a subtle and silent way, and special attention must be paid not to offend the interests of the landlords and the elite class, otherwise what awaits him will inevitably be a crazy blow to the entire court, and things will fail.

It was almost dawn after the completion of the song, and Qin Kan gently dried the ink on the song, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The world has different opinions about him, and the world says that he is a traitorous peter, but this traitor is changing this world step by step in his own way, and realizing the oath he once made step by step.

When this traitor endured humiliation and exhausted his mind, what were the so-called righteous gentlemen in the court doing?

Loyal and traitorous black and white every dynasty, how can you believe in history?

*****************************************************************

The army of the six guards was still camped outside Tianjin, and under the deterrence of the army, the Jinyi guard entered the city and began to investigate the remnants of the White Lotus cultists, and the remaining thousands of soldiers of the original Tianjin Sanwei also disarmed themselves and cooperated with the Jinyi guard to eliminate the possible White Lotus cultists.

In the midst of chaos and busyness, Qin sent Qin Kan to return to Beijing.

The rest of the things don't need to be handled by Qin Kan personally, and the investigation of the Tianjin White Lotus Sect is roughly considered a complete merit, and there is a slight regret in it, but how can there be so many perfections in the world?

…………

…………

Outside the West City Gate of Tianjin.

The commander of the six guards, the former commander of the three guards of Tianjin, the governor of Caoyun, Pingjiang Bo Chen Xiong, and the officials at all levels of the Caoyun Yandao Yamen stood outside the city gate to see off Lord Qincha.

On behalf of the civil and military officials, Pingjiang Bo Chen Xiong saluted Qin Kan with a drink, and Qin Kan said goodbye to the officials.

The moment he turned around, Qin Kan clearly saw that almost all the officials, including Chen Xiong and the Sixth Guard Commander, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This expression of relief, similar to sending the plague god, made Qin Kan feel very dissatisfied, and even had the urge to turn around and go into the city to live for a few more days.

The guard of honor set off, Qin Kan glanced at the low and dilapidated city wall, and then lowered himself into the chariot.

Tang Zihe's pretty face floated in his mind for no reason, where is that cold woman now? Once promised her that she would see the new Tianjin in a few years, did she remember this promise? There is no news from the three thousand anti-thieves, did they leave with Tang Zihe? If this woman still has the will to rebel, 3,000 people following her will probably become a confidant of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, and how big a storm will it set off in the future?

The pretty face in my mind gradually blurred, and it turned into countless questions. Qin Kan sat in the chariot and sighed heavily.

…………

…………

On the side of the official road on the edge of Dabaizhuang outside the city, under the dense shadow of the trees, Tang Zihe was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, his black and shiny hair like a waterfall was wrapped in a blue floral scarf, dressed as a peasant woman, staring quietly at the end of the official road, without saying a word or moving.

There was a group of fierce men next to her, who were also dressed as ordinary villagers, and everyone looked at Tang Zihe with respect and awe.

The 3,000 rebels had rushed to Bazhou in disguise, but Tang Zihe stayed. Regardless of the persuasion of Ge Lao Wu and others. Insisting on staying and doing something she thought had to be done.

Ge Lao Wu had no choice but to stay with her, and the three or five old brothers were loyal, even if there was a lot of rumors near Tianjin City now, and the officers and soldiers were in the city and countryside. They are also duty-bound.

The spring breeze is a little warm. Gently brush over the hills. Tang Zihe's sideburns fluttered disobediently with a few strands of naughty black hair, and the black hair brushed lightly across his cheeks, tickling. Like the feelings of a girl in spring.

"Miss Tang, the brother who inquired about the news has just returned, and the dog official's guard of honor has already been on the road, and it is about ten miles away from here...... Ge Lao Wu hesitated to pat the dark artillery beside him, and said, "This iron thing...... Okay, huh? ”

Tang Zihe smiled coldly: "It can blast open the gate of the city within a hundred zhang, do you think it will work?" Using it to bombard the dog officer's chariot is really a knife to kill chickens...... Ge Lao Wu, tell the brothers to reload the medicine and ammunition, remember, we only have a chance to fire one bullet, after one bullet, the officers and soldiers will inevitably counterattack, we have no time to send a second bullet, so whether this blow is successful or not, we must be decisive and far away. ”

Ge Lao Wu nodded again and again: "Brothers, you can save it." ”

"After filling the medicine and loading the ammunition, tell the rest of the brothers to quickly retreat into the mountains and forests, Ge Lao Wu, you stay."

"Yes, I will advance and retreat with Miss Tang."

Tang Zihe said coldly: "I asked you to stay not to advance and retreat together, but to see with your own eyes, to see if I can't get my hands on Qin Kan, will I, Tang Zihe, disregard the blood feud of my brothers for the sake of an ungrateful dog official!" ”

Ge Lao Wu was shocked, and then said with a dry smile: "The girl is serious, how can the brothers not believe you after following you for so many years?" It's just that this place is dangerous, and the girl is the future of three thousand brothers, so why don't you ask the girl to teach me how to fire a cannon, and then you and the brothers will withdraw first, and I will kill the dog officer! ”

Tang Zihe shook his head stubbornly: "I believed in the wrong dog officer, and the brothers lost their lives because of it, what I owe them, I will pay it back with my own hands!" ”

…………

…………

Walking on the official road, the axle seemed to be a little old, making a tooth-inducing squeak, Qin Kan rubbed his cheeks, and had to put down a copy of "Mencius" in his hand.

Towards the teachings of the sages, Qin Kan's attitude is not to learn or criticize, just listen to it, let it read. However, it is still necessary to properly fill the façade, this is an era when the words of a saint are freely practiced in the world, just like the crazy popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs in the previous life, whether you like it or not, you have to learn to hum a few songs.

Whether it is a gentleman or a hooligan, there is no harm in learning more cultural knowledge after all, and you can't be complacent just because you have the upper hand in a fight with civil officials, and it is superior to kill the other party with your mouth to throw away your armor.

Lifting the curtain of the chariot, Qin Kan glanced out, and Li Er, who was escorting him outside the chariot on horseback, immediately turned his horse's head and approached him.

Qin Kan frowned, pointed to a blue carriage in front of the guard of honor, and then looked at Li Er silently.

Li Er scratched his head in embarrassment, and his face was ashamed.

"The subordinates are incompetent, the Hou Ye forgives the sin, this surnamed Li Yushi is really fateful, last night the subordinate Hou Ye invited the six guards to the command and Li Teng, and found an excuse to simply set the banquet in the backyard of the Tianjin Wei Command Envoy, Liang Sheng and the other two Wei commanders to accompany him, and then the subordinates frequently toasted, drunk Li Teng, and instructed the following henchmen to send him to Liang Sheng's backyard room to rest, while Liang Sheng was still drinking, Liang Sheng's concubine was knocked unconscious, and then Li Teng was sent to Liang Sheng's concubine's bed......"

Qin Kan said coldly: "If Li Teng really slept with Liang Sheng's concubine, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be alive in the world now, and we should be incense on Li Teng's tablet at this time, what happened later?" ”

Li Ergan smiled and said: "Master Hou, there was actually no accident later, the subordinates and others pinched the time, and planned to find someone to let Liang Sheng go back to the backyard to catch the traitor after half an hour, but the result was ...... cough, as a result, after Liang Sheng went back, his concubine was so dignified that she stripped naked and lay on the bed, but Li Teng was nowhere to be seen......"

"What's going on?"

Li Er's face became more and more strange, and he couldn't help but glance at the carriage in front of the honor guard. said with a smile: "The brother who stayed in the backyard to secretly let off wind said that Li Teng and Liang Sheng's concubine did do something, but it was done quickly, Li Teng's guy was useless, and he actually shivered in three or two clicks, and the delivery was delivered, and he put on his pants and said 'so comfortable', and then turned his head and ran. The surnamed Li ran away without a shadow after finishing his business......"

Laughed twice. Li Er looked up and saw Qin Kan's cold gaze, and immediately became frightened, and hurriedly said bitterly: "Master Hou, my subordinates have miscalculated!" ”

Qin Kan wanted to stick his feet out of the chariot window. Kick this guy off the horse who has not done enough to do more than anything. Then I thought that I had just read Mencius. It was not advisable to be too rough, so he took a deep breath and held back his anger.

"That's it. People are not as good as the sky......" Qin Kan looked up to the sky and sighed gloomily: "Why bother? Not only did he not kill him, but he pulled a pimp for him, making him feel refreshed, and he didn't give money after the refreshment, what are we trying to do? …… Li Er, do you think we are cheap? ”

Li Er's face was red: "Hou Ye, according to the idea of his subordinates, he will chop him down with a straight knife, is Hou Ye's method too ...... Uh, that's tactful? ”

Qin Kan sighed, handed him the "Mencius" he had just finished reading in his hand through the car window, and said angrily: "If you have time to read more, see how the sage behaves in the world!" ”

Li Er was taken aback: "The saint also did this?" ”

"Let me see what a tactful the saint is, bastard!" Qin Kan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "When you encounter something, you only know how to fight and kill, do you think that a knife can solve the problem?" ”

"The subordinate knows that he is wrong...... Hou Ye, that Li Teng's car was in front of the honor guard, and the surnamed Li didn't even show his face today, and he didn't greet him, so he was very disrespectful to Hou Ye. After returning to Beijing, I am afraid that it is indispensable to invite a group of Ziyan officials to impeach the Hou Ye, and it will be a troublesome ......."

Qin Kan said coldly: "Have you arranged people in front?" ”

"Ambush ...... has been set"

"Do you still need me to say that? Of course I chopped him off with a knife! ”

Li Er: "............"

"Also, tell the guard of honor to go slower, stay away from Lord Li's car, and when Lord Li is stabbed, we can fully do it without knowing it.

****************************************************************

The swarthy artillery has been erected, and the muzzle of the cannon has been carefully adjusted by Tang Zihe, facing the direction at the end of the official road.

Gunpowder was tamped in the barrel, a solid iron bullet was stuffed into the barrel, and a long fire rope was pulled out of the tail.

An old brother hurriedly came to tell Tang Zihe that the Qincha honor guard was less than three miles away.

Tang Zihe's body shook imperceptibly, stood up and looked at the end of the official road, but saw that on the empty horizon in the distance, two bright and yellow dragon flags fluttered in the wind, slowly appearing in everyone's sight.

Tang Zihe's eyes suddenly turned red, and his eyes showed complicated emotions that he didn't even understand, staring at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and the white jade hand holding the fire fold trembled slightly.

Ge Lao Wu turned his head and glanced at Tang Zihe, sighed silently, and then looked at the carriage on the official road, his eyes were instantly cold.

Love and righteousness must be clearly separated after all, and when it comes to this point, there must be a trade-off.

"Miss Tang, the dog officer's car is approaching...... Ge Lao Wu couldn't help but remind.

With a slight flick of the trembling hand, the fire fold ignited in the wind, and then slowly entered the fire rope at the end of the barrel.

Qin Kan's familiar voice echoed in his ears at an inopportune time.

“…… Ambition is a word that is out of reach, and I prefer to think of it as a process that I must gradually complete in the coming years. ”

“…… I want to ask the imperial court to open a patrol in Tianjin according to the imperial history yamen, so that the government, the three guards, the imperial history, and the three powers are separated, and each has its own checks and balances and supervision, so as to put an end to the corruption of officials and oppress the people to the greatest extent......"

“…… In addition, I also want to ask the imperial court to open the outer port of Tianjin, and try to open the sea ban on a small scale, if there is normal trade with foreign countries, there are few people in the coastal cities who are not rich, and if the city is rich, the people will be rich, and the people will be rich, and the country will be strong......"

Tang Zihe's long eyelashes trembled, closed his eyes, Qin Kan gestured, and the appearance of outlining Tianjin's future blueprint in front of her appeared in front of her, so radiant, so high-spirited, as if the god who decided the fate of all living beings, with deep compassion looking down at the suffering world.

It should have been that moment, as if the mud seal of the dusty wine had been opened, and the intoxicating fragrance made my heart fall instantly.

“…… You come, I will raise you. ”

With this charming sentence echoing in his ears again, Tang Zihe trembled, his pretty face flushed like drunkenness, and then looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer on the official road, and his reddened pretty face suddenly turned pale again.

Biting his lower lip, Tang Zihe's eyes quickly filled with tears.

There was a moment when she really wanted to throw away everything as Qin Kan said, live in his Hou Mansion and be raised by him, and be a happy and simple little woman, the so-called great cause of a thousand autumns, the so-called brilliant history, after all, it is just a mirror, how can it be worth a jasper hairpin that her husband inserted into her bun, however, ...... To put it so nicely, why did you kill your brother by stabbing you in both sides and turning your back?

That imperial court carved feather arrow denied him and her all possibilities, and she had no way to retreat.

Ge Lao Wu's voice woke her up full of grievances: "Miss Tang,...... Forget it, I have suffered you and tired you all these years, and Qin Kan's right to life should be recorded as a reward for your hardship. ”

Tang Zihe was shocked, and then gritted his teeth: "If the brothers' revenge is not avenged, what face do I have to lead those three thousand brothers?" ”

The fire fold emitted a faint glow in the shadows of the trees, and the fire light resolutely approached the fire rope of the barrel...... (To be continued......)
