"Wang Datou, you must help Uncle Fu with your favor! Otherwise, you kid is ungrateful! ”

"Wang Datou, your master is right, this is not only Uncle Fu's business, but also Yang Sanye's business, Uncle Fu and Yang Sanye have helped you a lot!"

On this day, in the Shengqi Building of Mochou Lake Palace, when Li Zhongshan was discussing with Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang, and Yao Qisheng how to set up the new Ming local official system, he suddenly heard two familiar voices, and the whole person was stunned, and then turned his head to look out the window, but the courtyard was empty.

And Huang Zongxi, who was introducing to Li Zhongshan the "New System of Local Civil Officials" that he had drawn up with Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang, and Yao Qisheng, didn't hear anyone outside looking for Wang Datou at all, and was still shaking his head and talking there.

The local bureaucracy is still more reasonable than the Han Dynasty's approach, and the local chief officials such as the assassin history, the county guard, the state minister, and the county order are not allowed to be held by locals, and must be directly appointed by the imperial court.

The officials such as the don't drive, the governor, the chief bookkeeper, the gong cao, and the post supervisor are served by local scholars, and they can be nominated by the local government, and the chief official is recruited.

And the local officials are also officials, and they can also be promoted to prefectures and counties or even Zaifu. This set of methods of appointing chief officials and local officials is actually a method for the people to discuss politics.

And now this dynasty has not only restored the ancient practice of the people's discussion of politics, but also gone further, formulating the 'original law' and the implementation rules of the people's discussion of politics. Therefore, this dynasty can completely improve the local government system on the basis of the Han system. For example, the local civil chief officials can set up three levels: governor, prefect, and prefect, and there are two deputy posts below these three levels of chief officials.

One of the two deputy positions under this three-level chief officer, nominated by the chief official and appointed by the imperial court, also required to avoid his place of origin. The other person is nominated by the local people's council, and then the chief official submits it to the imperial court for appointment. The deputy position nominated by the Chinese does not have to avoid his place of origin, and can be assumed by a local scholar.

As for the adjutants at all levels below the local deputy level, they can be appointed by the method of the National People's Assembly and the recruitment of the chief and deputy officials, and it is best to put an end to the strange phenomenon of the cloth master participating in local governance.

In addition, starting from the second or third year of the Republic, we should also gradually improve the examination system for local adjutants and the system for promoting adjutants to chief officials. It is best to gradually form a system in which the adjutants must be examined, and the chief officials must be promoted from the adjutants. In this way, we can avoid the disadvantages of the assistant officials not knowing the grammar and the chief officials not knowing the administrative affairs."

Not to mention, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, who wrote the "Ming Yi Interview Record" and the "Book of Diseases of the Heavenly Counties", plus Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng, who are likely to be the first and second masters of today, proposed the new local official system, which is much stronger than the system that the Ming and Qing dynasties paid attention to implementing for hundreds of years.

Or rather, the system of the strong man and the Tang Dynasty certainly has its merits! Compared with the later system that only sought to weaken the local wealthy families and ignore the administrative efficiency, of course, it is much stronger.

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu have experienced another era in which local governance is almost ineffective, and of course they will pay more attention to improving efficiency. And Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng were both born as masters, and they know too well how corrupt and incompetent those high-ranking officials are, and they also know how the master and the officials below collude together to make trouble.

Looking at the history books, although the local officials of the Han Dynasty were not good people, compared to the local officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, at least they were quite capable!

Even if it is the assistant officials under the various festivals at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it is not comparable to those masters and local officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

And if it is a troubled era today, the new Ming Dynasty is people-oriented and implements a local governance model similar to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties in order to improve efficiency, which is a matter of course.

"Uh-huh!"

When Huang Zongxi was talking hard, Li Zhongshan suddenly coughed, he looked up and found that Li Zhongshan was waving at him.

Huang Zongxi thought that he was not satisfied with the new official system he had worked so hard to formulate, so he was immediately unhappy, his face sank, and he frowned and looked at Li Zhongshan.

"Mr. Lizhou, you and Mr. Tinglin, Pei Gong, and Xi Zhi have set a law that is deeply in line with my wishes!" Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "But now that there are distinguished guests, we can only discuss it later, let's see the guests first!" ”

"Distinguished guests? Who is it? Huang Zongxi asked.

Li Zhongshan smiled, then opened his throat and shouted: "Wang Quan, please come in with my master and Doctor Le!" ”

"Yes!"

Then the door of the courtyard of the Shengqi Building creaked open, and I saw Wang Quan, the chief soldier of the Shanzi Battalion, pushing open the door and leading two monks, one thin and one fat, to walk in.

Among them, the thin monk is Li Yat-sen's mentor Duolong!

Doron used to be a fat man, but now he is so thin that he is out of shape, but his spirit is fine, and he doesn't look like he has some incurable disease.

And the fat monk is married to Yang Xiaohuan, her mother Jin Yuhuan, the old man of Leshen Doctor Le, who has a good life, and everyone is blessed!

Li Yat-sen did not dare to slack off - he is now the principal himself, and he is a role model, of course, he must pay special attention to teachers. That's why he stopped the discussion, and led Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang, and Yao Qisheng to greet the four of them together. He also happily gave Duolong a thousand salutes: "The big head is saying goodbye to the master. Master, have you lost weight? It's good to be thinner, and you look refreshed. ”

Duolong glared at Li Zhongshan with a look of grievance: "How can you not be thin?" dismissed from his post and confiscated his family, the ministry talked about death, and he was locked in a prison waiting to be killed. Everyone has to be thin! ”

It turns out that Doron has suffered a great sin these days!

As the governor of Liangjiang, he is a local vassal, and he has the responsibility to defend the land!

As a result, he lost Jiangning City, and was defeated by Geng Jingzhong in Taiping Mansion, and fled to Zhenjiang in embarrassment. After arriving in Zhenjiang, he was dismissed, but he was not arrested immediately, but let him and Echu make meritorious service together.

However, when Yue Le ran from Huguang to Zhenjiang, Duolong and Echu were immediately arrested and imprisoned, and escorted back to Beijing. Since most of Duolong's floating wealth was in Jiangning, all of them were divided between the third prince Zhu and Lu Sanhao, so he couldn't even afford to sell his life after he was arrested in Beijing, so he had to squat in the prison of Shangfang Yuan.

In the end, he and Echu set an "autumn decision" together, that is, the autumn queen asked for beheading!

After the autumn of last year, Echu went to the vegetable market to have a red business, and when he was about to cry, he hugged Duolong and cried!

After beheading Echu, he was going to behead Duolong, but somehow, he didn't behead him, but he didn't let him go, and he didn't tell him not to behead, but he was just "to be beheaded".

Although he still saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Credit Suixin Hall, he didn't dare to take it, so he had to starve and ask for food in the outer city of Beijing for a few days. In the end, Dr. Leshen, who had been looking for him for several days, found it from the entrance of the vegetable market!

He's asking for food at the vegetable market!

Look at the place where he asks for food. This market is really not suitable for food!

After being found by the blessed Le Shen Doctor, he learned that it was Yang Qilong's sister-in-law Yang Xiaomi, and it was that Nala Lan'er who had been blowing the wind in Fuquan's ears, so that he had been "waiting to be killed". And the reason why he was released was because Yang Qilong found him a good errand to send him to Nanming to contact the big head.

Originally, Yang Qilong also arranged for Doctor Le Shen, who was on the envoy with him, to wait for the first person outside Shangfang Hospital, but Doctor Le Shen's eyes were dizzy, and he didn't recognize Duolong, who had lost more than 100 pounds.

So Duolong could only go to ask for food, and almost starved to death at the entrance of the vegetable market with a deposit receipt of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

After being found by Doctor Leshen, Duolong shaved his head and pretended to be a monk, and went all the way south to Nanjing to find Wang Datou, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he heard that there was a fight in Nanjing! This king slashed that king, and that king beat this king, as if they were going to kill each other.

So Le Shenyi and Duolong waited for a while, until the third prince of Zhu ascended the throne and the news that Wang Datou was appointed as the general Lu Shangshu reached Xuzhou, and they believed that the Ming Dynasty would not be finished for a while. Only then did I set off to the south again, and I was sad to Nanjing yesterday!

I was so sad that I recited the poem, and a sentence came on the spot, "The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, and the little wife doesn't know where to go?" It's really sad to listen to, and those who hear it cry!

Then Duolong spent another night in the inn, and found the British King's Mansion in Mochou Lake early this morning.

Wang Quan, the chief soldier of the Shanzi Battalion (still a battalion, but the chief officer added the rank of general soldier) who was responsible for guarding the British Palace, knew him and Doctor Leshen, so he led them into the palace and asked them to wait outside the Shengqi Building for a while-now General Li is in a high position and has a lot of opportunities, but it is not something that can be seen when you see it.

Who knew that after waiting for a while, Duolong suddenly blew up again, shouting loudly outside the Shengqi Building. It seems that this guy's psychological tolerance is not very good! After experiencing setbacks such as family ruin, resignation, and death row, this mood is quite unstable.

However, Li Zhongshan has a huge amount of weapons, and he can't be angry with his master Duolong!

So he still smiled and greeted him, even if he complained, he didn't get angry, and he took Dolong's hand and introduced him to the characters on his side.

"Master, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Lizhou, the original author of Huang Lizhou's Tianzi No. 1 anti-book "The World is Public" is him, this is a great Confucian!"

Duolong had stabilized his emotions, and hurriedly arched his hand to the big thief Huang Zongxi: "Look up for a long time. Mr.'s anti-name, Duo has long been like thunder, but unfortunately I haven't been able to see each other, it's a pity! ”

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "If you meet with the multi-system army early, Huang is only afraid of his old life!" ”

"Master, this is Mr. Tinglin Gu Tinglin, "Daily Knowledge" and "Tianxia County Guoli Disease Book" are his masterpieces. When the Qing Dynasty was put aside, these two books were enough to be anti-books! However, Mr. Tinglin is a great Confucian, but he is relatively deep, and ordinary people can't understand it. ”

"Long admiration, long admiration." It is true that Duolong has not read those two books, but he has still heard of Gu Tinglin's name.

"Master, this is Zhou Peigong, you know, Master Tuhai."

"Pei Gong, Tu Hai has now been rehabilitated," Duo Long said to Zhou Chang, "Ao Bai has also been rehabilitated. It's a pity that both of them are gone! ”

"It's a pity," Zhou Chang nodded again and again, "If Tu Zhongtang is still there, Zhou wants to compete with him on the battlefield!" ”

"Master, this is Yao Xizhi. He's not a genius either! None of the Han civil officials appointed by the Qing Dynasty can compare with him to govern the country with soldiers! ”

"Oh, oh, it's a pity, Mr. Yao's talent is almost buried." Duolong looked at Yao Qisheng, who was already old, and he didn't feel that this person had run to Li Datou's subordinates like this?

This is the Qing Dynasty. It's over!

After some greetings, Li Yat-sen and the others returned to the Shengqi Building, sat down in the living room below, and then began to talk about business.

"General, the old man came south with the multi-system army this time, in fact, to be a lobbyist for Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu has a good understanding of you! He is your master, even if you are now anti-Qing and regain your sight, you still have to help if you can help the master. ”

Because Dr. Le Shen married Yang Xiaohuan's mother, he and Li Zhongshan are also relatives, and he and Li Zhongshan are old friends, and the relationship is quite strong - they did bad things together in Suzhou to kill people and bully the king, so now they can really talk.

He then said: "And Third Brother Yang and Uncle Fu are now one, if you help Uncle Fu, you will help Brother Yang, the son born to Xiao Mi and Uncle Fu is also your nephew, and he will be the prince in the future!" Can you not help with this favor? ”

"Help, help, must help!" Regarding the matter of helping Fuquan and Yang Qilong, Li Zhongshan has nothing to say.

After all, he can't spare his hands to govern a country in the Central Plains and rectify the interior now, which is much more difficult than destroying the withering and decaying on the battlefield!

In history, a fierce man like Zhu Yuanzhang also spent a lot of time governing the territory of Huaixi and Jiangdong, and also had to flatten the anti-Yuan forces in the south and roughly unify the south before waving the army to the north.

And Liu Yu, who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, although his military ability was impeccable and he was invincible during the Northern Expedition, but due to the instability of the rear, he had to withdraw his troops and return after the death of Liu Mu, who was sitting in the southeast, so that his success fell short.

Therefore, Li Zhongshan would rather seek stability now, first complete the local governance of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and then open up the communication with Guangdong, and then take Geng Jingzhong and Jieshu to unify the southeast, and then it will be Huguang's turn to go to the Central Plains for the Northern Expedition, which will have to wait until Huguang is taken.

As for the moment, it is better to maintain a "Fuqing" court that can get along with you than to save a "Kangqing" court that will definitely make trouble for you, right?

However, Li Zhongshan is indeed a little unsparing now.

After laying Anqing, Daming's next target is naturally southern Anhui and Jiangxi.

After all, Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen have to open up the land communication line with Guangdong!

Otherwise, Guangdong and Guangxi have been hanging alone, and Li Jizhen and Wu Xiaosu are still "governing together", God knows what will happen after a long time?

But Fuquan also had to help...... It's embarrassing!

"Big head, how are you going to help?" Duolong also knew Li Zhongshan's situation, so he asked, "How many troops can you send north now?" ”

"I can't send it out." Li Zhongshan also did not hide from Duolong, "Unless Jieshu can withdraw from Jiangxi." ”

"That's impossible!" Duolong was also quite simple, "Jieshu doesn't listen to the regent now!" ”

Prince Kang Jieshu definitely can't listen to Duolong, because he is surrounded by Wu Guogui, Li Zicheng, Li Zhongshan, and Li Fuchen!

If these people beat him together, then he won't even have the slightest way to live!

Therefore, he can only keep peace with one of them, and Li Zicheng, Li Zhongshan, and Li Fuchen will not let him go. The only person he can contact is Wu Guogui's adoptive father, Wu Sangui!

And Wu Sangui and Kangxi have become a group again, so Jieshu can only continue to be commensurate with Kangxi.

And it is impossible for him to hand over Jiangxi, without Jiangxi, where can he go?

"Master, don't worry, I can do what I say." Li Zhongshan smiled and said to Duolong, "How can a student watch Uncle Fu be unlucky? In fact, if you don't come to Nanjing, the students should also help Uncle Fu...... And the students have helped! ”

"Already helped?" Duolong was stunned and stunned, "How did you help?" ”

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "Who doesn't have a father, son, filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers?" Uncle Fu and Kangxi were good brothers back then, but now they are also enemies? The brotherhood between the two in Wu Sangui's family is much worse, and they don't see each other much!

And Wu Sangui has always been raising Wu Yingqi as his son-in-law...... Most of the Shaanxi people in the Wu family's army supported Wu Yingqi. And the student just has a friendship with Wu Yingxiong...... How do you say I can help? ”
