Shengpingfang in Chang'an City, in the renovated house. Already the Taiping Army's capital governor's office, the superintendent of the new lecture hall in Chang'an, Pi Rixiu, the new enterprise named Lumenzi, also looked at the visitors who came to the door with embarrassment and sighs, and said:
"Sage of the table, why are you so troubled? Now that Dading is peaceful in the Guan, I will return to the mountains and the wilds. Isn't it good to travel around Linquan?"
"It's just for the sake of being behind and under the sect, so I can only abandon the pure and shameless and be this Feng Fu..."
The visitor sighed with a heavy face and helplessness: It was Pi Rixiu's former benefactor and a year-end acquaintance, Si Kongtu, a generation poetry scholar who was nicknamed "Zhifeizi".
He was born as a scholar in the last years of Xiantong in the previous generation. In the end, he served as the servant in the temple, the master of Guanglu Temple, and the branch office in Luoyang. And the benefactor who once valued and supported Sikongtu was the "Jackal Prime Minister" Lu Xie who was forced to commit suicide in the end.
After the army of Huang Chao entered Chang'an. Sikongtu's younger brother had a servant named Duan Zhang who participated in the Huangchao Uprising. He enthusiastically promoted to him the various benefits of the new Daqi Dynasty and persuaded him to welcome the rebel army; he refused, so he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Therefore, it can be regarded as an authentic remnant of the old dynasty.
It’s just that, he is just like Zheng (Gu) Partridge, Shen Yunxiang and other captured Guange bachelors, secretarial bookmakers, and corrections. There is nothing too significant, inferiority, or blood debts left by local family members. So even after it was turned over, it was only registered in the register but not much pursued.
However, Pi Rixiu did not expect that this former best meeting would take the initiative to ask the door, and he couldn't help but sighed:
"My Taiping Army's regulations and objectives have always been the same. This time the king has already said it very clearly. Why do you bother to be the first bird to go against the trend?"
In the eyes of the world, he has been admitted to the Jinshi and the bottom of the list. He has served in Suzhou, written Zuolang, Dr. Taichang, and deputy envoy of Piling, but he was able to join Liu Xun, Fan Chuo, Qiu Huan and others in Guangfu. Dragon Pi Rixiu of the Taiping Army; undoubtedly the luckiest little poke man in the world waiting.
But only he himself knows how dangerous and desperate the scene and situation he faced at the beginning was due to. Fortunately, he still has some highly valued thin names and literary talents available in the world, and Lu Gui was blinded by these close friends who are more valued at the time of the deep body, and at the critical moment, he did not go to a dead end by giving him a hand.
Such causes and effects and changes in mentality have given him his place in the new dynasty. He is more cautious and cautious than others on this kind of big right and wrong issues involving the "nationality".
But on the other hand, when he failed many attempts in Chang'an and became famous everywhere, he was helped by this year-end acquaintance. In the end, being able to be appointed to an official position instead of continuing to honour seniority in Changan is also to a large extent stained with the other side's light.
Therefore, because of emotion and reason, he really can't do the behavior of shutting out the opponent who is already down. But Pi Rixiu still wanted to persuade his benefactor to pass away, at least so that he would not be involved in the public opinion and wrongs raised by others.
"Tugong! Forgive me for being blunt, but you are here this time because of your own thoughts, or do you have other people's advice and persuasion?"
"Does this make any difference?"
Sikongtu, with his frosty beard, hesitated and said:
"Does Tugong know that since the Taiping Army entered the customs, no one has been starved to death in the locality?"
However, when Pi Rixiu saw it, he guessed something and he thought:
"This should be called for good governance, and I have also heard about it in the village; just to hear that the New Dynasty is such an enemy of the old dynasty's scholars and clan, but it is not partial and comprehensive, and many good children who are willing to repay the future are cut off; This is not a personal grudge, please?"
Sikongtu said unconsciously and calmly:
"That's why I want to use this to visit the United States, can I think of solving doubts and asking for rules..."
"Gong Tu, today's family is ruined, and the cold is booming. This should be the general trend of the world; this cannot be restored by human selfishness, and it is not what my generation wants!"
Pi Rixiu felt sigh in her heart. This is what the king said, the last dying struggle and hard work of the old forces. But it's not like this person was pushed out and made a throwing stone on the table to ask for directions.
"Even in Gaomen Jiadi, there are still some insightful or good people? When the world is in danger, I have never seen that they can turn the tide or try to improve something; that new In the middle of the world, such a wise person who protects his life, how dare he still want to get a way to enter the body?"
"Is it really not possible here?"
Sikongtu also understood, but he asked as if he had grown old a lot of time:
"In addition to making special contributions to the world, or the king's blue eyes to break the amnesty, it will be possible at least three generations later..."
Pi Rixiu seriously looked at his eyes and said solemnly:
"This is also for the most basic explanation and fairness to the world's thousands of people who have been hindered in their official careers for a long time.
Then he slowed down and comforted the other side:
"Naturally, if the children of Tugong's family have excellent choices, I can still protect them from their fame and future. Naturally, I can choose several people to enroll, select and act on this, but the other requirements are There is nothing I can do..."
"Thank you Ximei for taking it seriously, it's just me again"
Sikongtu looked really discouraged, he turned his head and sighed again after he wanted to speak.
"In Tugong Zhixue Township, it must be Tao Li Chengxi already under his sect, right?"
However, looking at Si Kongtu, who was getting more and more squatting, Pi Rixiu couldn't help but suddenly moved and continued:
"Please Ximei teach me?"
After hearing this, Sikongtu couldn't help but ignite hope in his eyes:
"According to the "Guidelines for the Selection of People in Taiping", the men in the family are always targeted and banned. Whether they are gangsters or demobilization, they still treat the corresponding wives and sisters with extra forgiveness."
Pi Rixiu thought for a while and wanted to mention:
"Could it be that there is no other way except Jinfeng's wife and sisters who think it is good to have a relationship?"
However, Situ Tu got the wrong answer, and his face became more distressed:
"Wrong, wrong, Tu Gong knows the system of female officials in the new dynasty..."
Pi Rixiu, who was a little dumbfounded, also considered the words and said again:
"That's the way that the female stream who made the wives and sisters in the family show up as an officer? Is there anything involved or hindered in this matter?"
Sikongtu frowned slightly and said:
"Exactly! The Governor's Mansion is certainly showing no excuses for the old dynasty, but it is a rare opportunity to open up the Internet on this matter, but in fact it does not limit the origin of the corresponding candidate!"
Pi Rixiu stroked his beard and said:
"It's so! But since ancient times, men and women are different, and it's the rooster Chen Chen of the previous Wu Zhou..."
Sikongtu struggled and hesitated:
"Tugong! Regardless of the distinction between men and women, and don't tell the story of the previous dynasty; isn't this a way out and official career for the new dynasty? As long as you can stay in the government system, I am afraid that I will not continue to seek for lenient in the future. Amnesty and planning opportunities for advancement?"
Pi Rixiu emphasized again:
"Perhaps the path of a female official nowadays does not yet have any qualifications, but if the time goes on, it will be hard to say if the contenders want more people!"
"It is a conspiracy to think that if Tu Gong can become the pioneer of the Guannei area, he must become a temporary example of enlightenment, and he may be extra gracious at the door;".
"Even if the public desires to avoid disapproval, then family members can enlighten Meng and women to study in the village, which is also a long-term way to gain hope! It is the children of the doorman behind him that can also be touched by grace."
(Of course, according to the polarized evaluations encountered by the Taiping Army’s Metropolitan Government in the course of implementing its policies. Once these female family members come out to do things, and after broadening their horizons and gaining self-sustained income, it is basically difficult to return to them. The original pattern and circle went among them.
The various family and social ethical issues arising from this and the original family and relatives such as the original father, brother, spouse, etc., are sufficient to further shake and disintegrate these old factors and fuse. But this is also the result that the Metropolitan Government, which advocates a new era and new fashions, is happy to see its success. )
So, before taking him farewell, Si Kongtu seemed to remember something. He quickly took out a volume of manuscripts from the cuff, and whispered to Pi Rixiu with some words:
"The old man rushing to ask for something is not good, so it is difficult to do it. He just hears that the king is good in culture and education and promotes his writing; he also grants an extra grant to contribute to his own redemption. The bone spurs are prepared for one or two."
"This is the "Twenty-Four Poems" compiled by the old man throughout his life. I only ask Ximei to submit it to me for viewing. There are also 7,000 volumes of books in the Kirin Pavilion at home. , That would be great..."
Just after leaving the house, Pi Rixiu felt a little sigh in her heart for a while; it seemed that her benefactor and old friend had also come prepared, and it was not exactly as obtrusive and open-minded as it appeared to be. After all, the time has passed, enough to make everyone a mere fact.
And Zhou Huaian, who had just returned to Chang'an from the parade, also began to accept the new information and practice accumulated by the audience and processing. The first is the report of the results of the most recent stage presented together by the Agricultural and Cao Branch of the Metropolitan Government and the camp of the Guannei Rehabilitation Yamen.
After more than a month of large-scale re-cultivation and reclamation operations, the Taiping Army regime has successfully established more than 800 camps and villages in the Jingwei River Basin on Guannei Road; approximately 1.79 million have been opened up. There are acres of paddy and dry fields, and fast-growing crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava from the south have been rushed to plant.
In this case, although these new crops, which have been greatly promoted in the south, will inevitably have some water and soil adaptability problems on the land within the Guan, but at least after the fall, before the snowfall, it is enough to form one or two rounds of harvest cycle, and greatly Alleviate the pressure of food supply within the customs.
More critically, as long as the land can provide stable output under the rule of the Taiping Army, it will have an indispensable and neglected bonus effect for the famine and post-war peace of mind; in other words, in those with limited insights In the eyes of the hooligans, this is the best sign of destiny.
This is also the fact that every time the Taiping Army conquered a place, it was able to quickly consolidate it in accordance with a step-by-step process; and the corresponding land population obtained by it was transformed into more food output and human resources in a short period of time for war. The main reason for providing follow-up motivation. (End of this chapter)
