Following.

Formal negotiations.

Qin Liangyu asked, "Your Excellency may prove the canonization of King Wu?" ”

"Mrs. Qin, please." Xu Nianzu had already prepared and took out the edict of canonizing King Wu and the concubine, as well as the big seal of the king of Wu and the concubine.

These things were all obtained from Yao Minggong.

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin checked it repeatedly, and soon determined that these things were true, and the meaning of Chongzhen Tuo Gu Chuanguo was already obvious.

"How is the princess arranged?" Qin Liangyu asked.

Xu Nianzu replied: "They are studying in a primary school in Nanjing. ”

Qin Liangyu said: "When I look at the book "Datong Collection", it seems that there is a policy of dividing the land and releasing slaves. ”

Xu Nianzu said: "Shi Yan is no exception. In the future, the land will be changed and the county will be established, and the lady can be the county of Shizhu. If Brother Ma is willing to fight, the white pole soldiers can be organized into an independent regiment, with a number of 2,000 soldiers, and must send missionary officers to accompany the army, and the military food and salary are provided by our side. ”

"What is the position of a missionary?" Ma Xianglin asked.

Xu Nianzu explained: "About a hundred soldiers, arrange a missionary. Missionaries are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of command, and teach the soldiers to read and write on a daily basis, and teach the soldiers the principles of being men and soldiers. also helped the soldiers write letters to their families and help them solve problems. ”

Qin Liangyu smiled: "This is fresh. ”

Ma Xianglin said: "Why should my family's land be forcibly divided? ”

Xu Nianzu said: "Mrs. Qin has read "Datong Ji", so she naturally knows the truth of dividing the field. There is absolutely no possibility of favoritism in this matter, even the two wives of the governor have also completed the division of the land. Mrs. Fei is a big family in the lead mountain, and her family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. ”

Qin Liangyu was noncommittal, but said: "I want to go to Nanjing to meet the prince and princess." ”

"Yes," Xu Nianzu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "Although Your Majesty canonized the King of Wu, the Governor did not accept it, and he wanted to establish himself as the King of Wu." ”

"Can Ann be like this?"

"Do you despise Da Minghu?"

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin stood up suddenly, and they both looked at Xu Nianzu with angry expressions.

Xu Nianzu asked: "Mrs. Qin has read the three articles of "Yuan Jun", "Yuan Chen", and "Yuan People"? ”

"Looked." Qin Liangyu nodded.

Xu Nianzu asked again: "Where did the king's throne come from?" ”

Qin Liangyu immediately understood, and sighed: "I understand." ”

Xu Nianzu said: "Although he is not entitled to the throne of King Wu, the governor will not treat the prince and the princess harshly. ”

Qin Liangyu said: "I still have to go to Nanjing. ”

Xu Nianzu smiled and said, "Waiting for you at any time." ”

Next door to Shi Yan is Shizhou Mansion, where the division of fields has been completed, and Huang Qi is forming a mountain division. Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it can also attack the stone stone at any time, and Qin Liangyu's side is not safe.

In addition, Zhang Xianzhong is already fighting Kuizhou, and he will soon hit the other side of the stone.

The Sichuan rebel army was everywhere, and after losing contact with the imperial court, the local officials and gentry became stubborn, and formed regiments to fight back and forth with the peasant army.

There are wars everywhere, and Shi Yan can't be left alone, so he must choose one to belong to.

……

"Mother really wants to go to Nanjing?" Ma Xianglin asked.

Qin Liangyu said: "Daming Jiangshan, maybe it's really gone." You and I should be loyal and courageous, but we also have to take into account the more than 200,000 people in Shiyan. If we do not judge the situation, the people will be afraid of being plagued by swords. I'll take a trip to Nanjing to see if Zhao Han can really practice "Datong Ji". If he can do it......"

"Take refuge in him?" Ma Xianglin asked.

Qin Liangyu shook his head: "Daming will not die for a day, and the Shiyan Xuanwei Division is the land of Daming, and I will explain this to Zhao Han clearly." But you can attach to Nanjing, help Nanjing fight, and wait for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and then recognize the imperial court in Nanjing. When the time comes, he will divide the fields if he wants to, who will be able to stop them? ”

"Really divide the fields?" Ma Xianglin asked.

Qin Liangyu asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Ma Xianglin said: "Don't be afraid. ”

"I'm not afraid of death, do you care about those acres of land?" Qin Liangyu reproached.

Ma Xianglin explained: "If you die well, your husband will die." But it was the property left by the ancestors, how could it be cut off in the hands of the children? ”

Qin Liangyu scolded: "Good man, husband, don't you just know how to keep your ancestors' land, and you won't go to lay a foundation by yourself?" ”

Ma Xianglin hurriedly bowed his head: "Mother has taught me a lesson." ”

Qin Liangyu said: "After I go to Nanjing, the Luohan soldiers will also be under your command. If you send troops after the beginning of spring, you can go to war. ”

There were only 500 Arhat soldiers, who were Qin Liangyu's personal soldiers, and the commanders of the troops were four monks, who belonged to the elders of the four temples.

"Yes." Ma Xianglin is very obedient.

Qin Liangyu said again: "Wannian also went to Nanjing with me, young people in their twenties, they should go out and see more of the market." ”

Ma Xianglin worried: "The surname Zhao won't detain his mother, right?" ”

Qin Liangyu said with a smile: "To be able to occupy several provinces within a few years, to be able to publish the "Datong Collection" and promulgate the world, and to let women be officials and fight, this kind of person's methods will not be so inferior." ”

……

Qin Liangyu was so resolute that he couldn't wait for the New Year, so he took his grandson to Nanjing together.

When you come, you go against the current, and you rely on paddling to move forward.

When you go downstream, the speed is thousands of miles away from Jiangling in one day.

The boat traveled to the boundary of Jingzhou Prefecture, but saw several bamboo rafts tied up on a barren beach, and dragged the family to cross the river on a raft.

"These seem to be the people of the North Shore?" Qin Liangyu asked.

Xu Nianzu explained with a smile: "The north of the Yangtze River is Zhang Xianzhong's territory, and the south of the Yangtze River is the territory of Zhao Dudu. Every month, there are people who secretly cross the Yangtze River to come, and the people's hearts are turned back, and it is clear at a glance. ”

Qin Liangyu said: "Can you pick them up on the boat, I want to ask a few words." ”

"Absolutely."

Xu Nianzu ordered a boat to row over, dropped the stone and anchored it not far from the river.

Knowing that it was Zhao Tianwang's boat, the family immediately climbed up along the rope, and the old man and child dragged it with a rope tied to their waists.

Not long after, the family was brought to Qin Liangyu.

"Knock on the official, knock on the old lady!" These people immediately bowed down, and they couldn't figure out what kind of official Xu Nianzu was.

Xu Nianzu said: "Hurry up, Mrs. Qin has something to ask you." ”

The flotilla moved on.

Qin Liangyu asked the old man: "What is the old man's surname?" ”

The old man reported to his home: "Free of noble, surname Wen, name Confucian." Lao Yu was originally a village school teacher, and his family also had dozens of acres of land, and this day became more and more sad, so he could only go to the south to seek refuge in Zhao Tianwang. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Wen," Qin Liangyu asked, "but Zhang Xianzhong's enslavement was too heavy?" ”

Wen Yiru sighed: "Not only is the enslavement too heavy, but it is also changing day by day." When the eight thieves (Zhang Xianzhong) first came, they said that they would abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and not rob the landlord's land, but only need to levy a grain according to the number of acres. ”

"In just two months, my family's Ueda was confiscated, saying that it was used to recruit displaced people to settle for the land. That's it, after all, there are still some thin fields left at home, and I can barely survive on my past savings. ”

"A while ago, I suddenly had to send troops to Sichuan. This side is close to Sichuan, and the eight thieves levied grain nearby, and wantonly forcibly recruited people. My family's food has been looted, and if I don't run away, the young and strong people in my family will be dragged to be people's husbands, and then we will not be far from the destruction of my family! ”

Qin Liangyu said disdainfully: "The thief's nature does not change!" ”

Wen Yiru glanced at Xu Nianzu, tried his best to pick up good words, and said: "Zhao Tianwang is different, one spit and one nail, there is no such thing as changing the order overnight." My family lives not far from the river, and the smoke on the other side of the bank is smoked three times a day, and I eat three meals a day. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, you can only eat once a day! ”

The eyes of the common people are bright, and they can judge the quality of life on both sides of the strait just by the smoke that rises every day.

"Eat three meals a day."

Qin Liangyu couldn't help but look at the south, she was lightly endowed with a small amount of money in the stone, and the people could only eat two meals a day.

The family was sent to the capital city of Yuezhou to disembark, and they had some money hidden on them, so they could rent a house to live in temporarily. As for how to live, you have to find a job quickly, and there are many similar people who have fled south in Hunan.

Every time Zhao Han expanded his territory to the north, major cities had immigration quotas. Everything is voluntary, and when you go to the north, you can divide the fields, and if there are too many applicants, you will draw lots.

Rural migration depends on the situation, and only in prefectures and counties where land is particularly scarce, will it be semi-compulsory to persuade migrants.

Stopping in some big cities along the way, Qin Liangyu was full of emotion.

She has traveled far many times to know what the city of Daming is like.

The city under Zhao Han was not only prosperous and rich, but also had very clean streets. Beggars and whatever, all of them are cleaned up, either forcibly emigrated, or sent to mining. If you have a disability, you will go to a nursing home and do what you can.

Coming to Nanjing, it is more impactful.

Many wealthy people from the north moved their families to live in Nanjing, and a large number of new houses have been built in the outer city of Nanjing.

In particular, the area around Xuanwu Lake is forbidden to cultivate. The government simply sold the homestead to the rich, and was only allowed to build houses, and was not allowed to use them for anything else.

Now around Xuanwu Lake, there are more and more houses, and even primitive streets have been formed.

As a new building material, cement has also become popular in Nanjing.

The urban buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties also had to build walls. Mortar is used for the delicate point, muddy water is used for the perfunctory point, and now cement has become a substitute, because the cost is cheaper than mortar.

In a word, Nanjing's population is growing rapidly!

"Pan Niang Candy, sell Pan Niang Candy. The good candy created by Mrs. Pan, buy it and eat it at home for the New Year! ”

Qin Liangyu got off the boat and came to the dock area, and listened to a hawker carrying a burden to meet him.

Shops and street stalls are fixed and subject to taxes. This is not the first initiative of Zhao Han, this is the case with Daming.

Hawkers who carry the burden and sell must be constantly running, and if they stop for too long, they are easy to be reported by the stall owners and shopkeepers.

"This is Pan Niang Candy?" A scholar stopped.

The vendor smiled and said: "It's Panniang candy, it's delicious, Xianggong buys some and goes back to eat it for the New Year?" ”

The scholar said happily: "They all say that Panniang candy is delicious, and I don't know where to sell it, so you can weigh me two catties." By the way, who did you learn this method of sugar making? ”

The peddler weighed the candy and said, "My neighbor's second aunt is the nurse of the governor's mansion. This method of making sugar was brought out by the nurse, and Mrs. Pan's unique craft is not easy for outsiders to learn. ”

Qin Liangyu passed by the peddler and wondered, "Who is Mrs. Pan?" ”

Xu Nianzu explained: "Zhao Dudu's wife. ”
