Chapter 61: Failure and War (2)

After breaking Hu Qi, the two of them were silent for a while, and then Wei Huai spoke, he propped up his vine crutches and said slowly: "Wan Dang did such a thing to force us to break the net with him." ”

When Xia Yuanlong heard this, he resolutely got up: "If they can't accommodate the academy, it's a big deal to fight him!" Although he has no soldiers and no power, he has so many people behind him to support him! Mr. Wei, as long as you call the shot, the people will flock to respond, and in the name of avenging President Zhenjiang Song, they will storm the official yamen, and swear not to give in, and see how the party can help us! ”

Wei Huai's eyes showed hesitation, and he scratched on the ground with his cane for a long time, and sighed: "Zhenjiang has been a lesson from the past, if you rebel against the law again, even if there are tens of millions of people, it will be difficult." Besides, Ye Tinglong is committed to the new policy, and he has repeatedly saved me from fire and water, and he really can't bear to involve him. ”

Xia Yuanlong replied: "The situation in Zhenjiang is different from here. First, public opinion there has not been accumulated, and a group of people suddenly need to adapt; Second, the small town of Zhenjiang is old, and the academy that is difficult to develop is weak, and when it encounters a great enemy such as the Mainland Party, it will naturally collapse easily. But it has been five or six years since the three of us worked together to take root in Nanjing. The people have benefited from the government, and they have rescued you from prison in a big way, and they have a deep relationship with the college, and Mr. Jing is just like the sages. In this way, it will be even more difficult for the government to control the situation and stabilize the people's minds. As for Ye Yongjia, he doesn't like to see Mr. retreat lightly, right? ”

Wei Huai listened to his analysis, which made a lot of sense, so he stretched his eyebrows slightly, stomped his feet, and gritted his teeth: "I, Wei Huai, have never been afraid, but I am just worried about the future of the academy." Now that Renying has made it clear, let's do what you say. But Wei's ability is limited, and he is afraid that he will add chaos and ruin the plan...... In this way, you can handle it by Yuanlong. ”

"Yuanlong will be the heavy responsibility of Hemeng, in order to repay the favor entrusted by the alliance leader!" After that, he knelt forward half-kneeling, and couldn't help but say, that is, a bow.

Wei Huai smiled and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "I am like a brother and sister with others, so I don't need to talk about anything gracious or unkind, as long as I work together to resist the enemy and survive this hard time!" ”

Yuan Long hurriedly bowed: "The foolish brother is anxious for a while, and the people are not to blame." ”

After receiving the news of Huchi's return, Wan Heshun, who was full of joy, did not realize that the negotiations had broken down. Xia Yuanlong conveyed Wei Huai's meaning to the entire Wenmeng at this time, causing quite a stir. It was not so much a sensation as it brought vitality to the long-quiet College, which made the whole College rejoice and uplift. The struggle they had been waiting for, without compromise, had finally begun.

After the excitement, they also need to calm down and discuss further countermeasures with Xia Vice Alliance, that is, the issue of implementation. Xia Yuanlong synthesized several feasible opinions, and believed that it was necessary to 'continue to obey the Wan Dang on the surface, and expand the new policy, so as not to be suspicious; Secretly, they distributed the "Essentials" to the people, and put a corner of the academy as a lecture hall, and preached the new policy every day, so as to unite the people's hearts and attract people, so that when the time was ripe, the government would be caught off guard. Colleagues thought so much that they couldn't wait to take a picture of the board, and they all agreed, so they officially began to act according to the plan.

The failure of the plan to use the land made the people of Nanjing deeply disappointed, and when their lonely mood was not relieved, they seemed to cheer up after seeing a notice. The notice is also very eye-catching:

"At the time of the Guozi Priest Jiu Wei's pregnancy, the government will use the power of the academy to implement the new policy of 'reducing and merging nuclear fields' to benefit the people."

This so-called 'nuclear field reduction and merger' is very different from the previous calculation of the land received, but it is to calculate the number of acres of land of the major land households, whether it can be compared with the account books, if there is no deed and no official private land, that is, the land will be returned to the original owner, and those who are not recruited will be given to the poor peasants.

The squires have always been high-flying, and when the people saw this new deal, they all applauded and rekindled their thoughts about the new deal, and they all said that they had to be cured.

Wan He went to persuade the gentry by the way, which was nothing more than saying, "Wei Huai's previous envoy was hypocritical, and he really wanted to seek the public." Imagine that Tian Yi was collected, and the clan was weak, how could he control the villagers and protect his ancestral business? I didn't want everyone to fall into the quagmire, but now that the decree has been issued, there is no regret, you should do it yourself, don't complain! ”

When the squires saw what he said, they were as frightened as tigers, and they all sighed and wailed, and cried out to the heavens and the earth. Of course, they did not want to sit idly by, and sent hundreds of letters to the government, asking for forgiveness for their sins. The officials were also frightened by this situation, and they also felt indignant, scolding this Wei Huai for being nosy and ruining his own reputation, and they began to hate him one by one.

Xia Yuanlong saw this sign, so he hurriedly sent people to mix in the bookstall at this time and sell "Xingyao". Because this "Xingyao" does not take a penny from passers-by, and it is written by Mr. Wei, he scrambles to get it, and it will be sold out after a while. Xia Yuanlong stepped up his efforts to send people to print and distribute new books, simply took a wooden cart and pushed it to Lisheqiao and other places to distribute it, and it was all distributed in three or four hours. When he came back from hearing the news, he said that Mr. Wei had already left the city and began to measure the land, Xia Yuanlong knew that it was not too late to act, and let out a heavy breath.

In addition, a simple lecture hall was built in the northeast corner of the academy, and because it was afraid that the government would know about it, it was hidden next to the warehouse in the corner, and it was open during the day, and the door was covered with wooden planks at night.

On this night, Wei Huai finally returned to the academy in a sedan chair. He saw Xia Yuanlong sleeping in the back room, so he hurriedly turned on an oil lamp and came to his bed.

Yuan Long didn't sleep deeply, he felt the heat on his cheeks, and when he opened his eyes, it was Wei Huai panting and carrying the lamp. The two looked at each other and smiled.

"There's a curfew outside? You're not going home? Xia Yuanlong lifted the quilt, sat up, and took a coat.

Wei Huai sat aside and put down the lamp: "Don't worry, I just came back from official business, and the sedan chair is still wearing the lantern of Guozijian, and the people patrolling the street will not check it." ”

"That's good," Xia Yuanlong put on his clothes, still feeling cold, and leaned back against the lamp, "How is the matter of the nuclear field going?" ”

Wei Huai thumped his leg and said, "It's okay." The few small households I asked first today had a lot of questions, but few dared to find trouble or deny it, and they handed over their fields one after another. I'll check the big ones tomorrow, but those people are going to die. How are you here? ”

"Wan Heshun sent people from the city gate all day long, and those who were different from yours were inciting the emotions of the gentry and making them move closer to the anti-New Deal. Therefore, the distribution of books and the opening of lecture halls were all successful, and no one noticed it for the time being. Xia Yuanlong said, but looked into the distance worriedly.
