Compared with the enthusiastic or unusually noisy crowds on the street, some people in the restaurants along the street sighed with sentimentality and helplessness:
"The dignified imperial court Dingzhu and the extremely noble Yuansu meritorious service are so publicly humiliated by the hands of the traffickers!"
"It is said that the family of the princes who went to Beijing is also inevitable. Could it be that the muddlers and the humble generations will be abused for a while!"
But there are also different opinions that retorted:
"Don't you hear that this is the water that overthrows the boat, and it is also the reflection of future generations? Should it be due to the cycle of karma?"
"Since this generation has ruined the country and the people's livelihood so badly, it is necessary to say that the person who initiated the instigator has nothing to say afterwards? Or, when the nest is overwhelmed, the eggs will be settled?"
And in another restaurant, it was another sentiment:
"Since the Taiping thief had the southeast, the decent articles of scholars and scholars have gone from bad to worse! Now they are falling to the point where they are first-rate with the traffickers, and work together with the same scientific research."
"This is not the case. Now, in the home of Li Shu Xiaomin, I still have books in my arms and I can't release the books. This is not the sacred learning of the past, but what is it?"
"Don't you think the Taiping Army doesn't value scholars, so you don't have to go to the corresponding selection test?"
"How is this possible! This is what my generation hopes to rejuvenate the family business! What's more, because of this, I should try my best to get out of it in order to correct the chaos!"
Once one of the fourteen families of Kuaiji in Yuezhou City, Shen Wu Zhouxu from the Southern Dynasties, Xiao Zhu Langjun from the eight surname branch of Gu Luzhu Zhang, also listened to these discussions, and sneered in his heart: "The so-called A Confucian student who is useless is a Confucian student, don't you just refer to this generation?"
He is now an assistant at the transfer office of the Jiangdong Rehabilitation Ambassador Yamen Zhexi Branch; although he is not a big deal in terms of job placement, he barely ranks in the middle of the eleventh class; but he is a taxi from Jiangdong. Among the people and the children of the big family, it can be regarded as the only preferential treatment and honor.
You must know that as the Jiangdong scholar and literati son of the same year, he still has to work hard to practice new learning and prepare for the exam according to the routine system of the Taiping Army; even if he is lucky enough to pass the exam, he may not be able to directly appoint officials, but according to The principle of avoidance in the countryside starts from the clerical chores at the bottom of the remote place.
And the root cause of all this is because he cut off at the crucial moment at the banquet, abandoning all previous plots and plans, and without hesitation, stabbed the woman who was once moved and admired by his back; making the original better than the same Han. At that time, Zhao'e's story about revenge of a fierce woman turned into a fruitless joke.
This decision not only allowed him to escape from the involvement of a series of subsequent assassinations, and became the lucky one and the weather vane of the Taiping Army's "horse bone". And among the survivors of the fourteen families in Kuaiji, they stand out and become the saviour of protecting the family and the world in a certain sense.
At least in Jiangdong Sanlu today, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. There is no possibility that the old court will come back again. Except for a few robbers and rebellious soldiers, almost no one in the locality can resist and shake the rule of the Taiping Army, and the many enforced regulations. "New Deal" (severe penalties).
Then, the representatives of these local people, they can only bow down humblely and respectfully, trying hard to change themselves to adapt to this new situation and unprecedented changes. Even in the midst of seeking survival and seeking change, it is even better to be a part of the powerful force represented by the other party on the basis of preserving the family and surname.
Therefore, he still remembered that his former grandfather had been alone in the ancestral hall and exhorted Chunchun:
"Just listen to the words of those people in the clan family, and don't be too concerned about them! If it weren't for the Taiping Army to overwhelm these clan surnames, then how can I wait for these branches? Chance of retribution?"
"In the final analysis, a man's husband must always focus on his career. As long as your career in the governor's house is more stable, the foundation of your family will be strengthened; even if you lose for a while, you will have a chance to recover."
"But if you spoil your future because of your family's interests, it's really foolish to give up your own merits. Don't say I'm afraid that the clan will abandon it, and my family will not take it lightly."
"Thousands and tens of thousands, even if the family has always used the clan's surname as Ma's head, how can the reputation and circumstances of generations of merchants compare with this elegant career path that you came out of?"
Thinking of this, he listened to the shouts from outside, looked at the jail car that was almost full of dirt, and couldn't help but drank a few glasses; as for the woman who appeared in his life as an episode The face has become more and more blurred.
And in the upper reaches of Jiangling Mansion hundreds of miles away. Adjacent to the library building complex of the Great Lecture Hall, as well as printing shops, bookshops, stationery shops, calligraphy and painting shops occupying an entire street; Dacheng Temple dedicated to various high-level prisoners of the Taiping Army for transformation and use of residual heat .
With the sound of the drum beaten, the evening meal is once again ushered in. I saw people wearing special striped shirts in twos and threes, and they began to gather in the cafeteria, which was gradually filled with the aroma of cooking, and began to receive their own food with a card.
Although most of them were defeated generals or prisoners of former Fangzhen leaders; in addition to the daily mandatory work quotas, the governor's house provided corresponding treatment standards in terms of board and lodging.
The comparison is based on the standard of ordinary teachers in the large workshop; except for the soup, rice, porridge and cakes that always have surplus Xiali; seasonal melons and vegetables, chicken and fish, and long-term storage of air-dried cured meat can alternate from time to time.
It’s just that when Gao Yue, the governor of Chuzhou (the defensive envoy), walked in hurriedly and absentmindedly holding food utensils, the small hall was already filled with most of the people’s heads. Whispering to your ears.
He didn't have the time to pay attention to anything, so he stood at the end of the sparse team. With the wooden sign of "Bingzi No. 18", I scooped a large spoonful of wheat and rice, topped it with green oil and added a lot of ginger bronchi soup, and then I was about to walk towards another red-hued duck. Suddenly a few sighs fell into his ears.
"I heard that Gao Bohai has been found, and he is escorting to Jiangling?"
"The Gao clan in Yangzhou City has nothing to avoid, and they are all harmed..."
"That said, this door of the famous Bohai Gaojingzhaofang, except for this old man, will be cut off..."
Gao Yue, who heard these words by accident, couldn't help but shake his hands. The prepared wheat rice and bran squash were all scattered on the ground in an instant; then the military academy who was supervising on the scene sternly reprimanded:
"Bingzi eighteen, what are you doing, don't waste food!"
Then, for a while, Gao Yue was confused and confused, but he was not mentally able to make this scolding and the punishment that followed. But some desperately asked the person before the case who was speaking with their backs to themselves:
"You...you...but it's true?"
"What's wrong with you, copy all the top rankings and texts of your own governor's house"
The speaker was a bit unceremoniously replied; but it was Liu Fen, the son of the former Shandong Jiedu envoy Liu Jurong, and the sturdy-looking Yannai soldier and horse envoy Liu Fen. However, he saw Gao Yue suddenly turned his head and ran out, and then he was twisted by the sergeant outside the door and fell to the ground, hissing sternly:
"I want to see the supervision, I want to regret it, I still have an important insider report..."
Gao Yue, who burst into tears at this moment, was full of despair and grief; now he has become a lonely man in the true sense, and he is also the last bloodline of the Gao family who had moved to the Jingzhao family in Yangzhou.
Therefore, he could only try to save himself and redeem himself before the captured uncle (Gao Pian) sent him over, and before he completely lost the last point of value. All this is for Gao's blood to continue to pass on.
At this moment, regardless of the righteousness of the country or the fame and wealth, it is no better than a somewhat paranoid thought in his mind; it is the family of the Jingzhaofang of the Bohai Gao family, and must not be interrupted by his hand, even if he lays down all the morals for this. The thief is not hesitating to bend.
However, compared to the small episode and noise caused by the news of Gao Pian’s capture in the Dacheng Temple, in the large workshop across the street, some people are eagerly and eagerly discussing it, from the latest report. Another thing in the post and public copy:
"This is truly an unprecedented thing! The Governor's Mansion has actually become a demobilization (demobilization) department specialized in disability, demobilization and resettlement of veterans, and everything after their deaths."
"Since ancient times, there has never been any imperial court that has paid special attention to the yamen and corresponding measures of disarming disabled elders. It is said that they are still reporting and hearing directly to the Metropolitan Government! Isn't it an unprecedented call for good governance and virtue?"
"Then you know who is responsible for this place... It is the second person in the army (Wang Pan) who stayed in the Cantonese government! It is said that this person will leave for Jiangling soon!"
"The general governor is really nostalgic and loves this old one. Not only did he grant the supervisory army the duty of discipline and lawlessness, but he also gave him the responsibility of distributing the beauty and fatness, which is obviously good for people's hearts. what.."
"Is it not? Isn't this Retirement Affairs Division mastered in a disguised form? Now that at least two or three hundred thousand soldiers who are in service, retired, and retired have been remunerated and tended to all things, the starting point is another hot and important task. Yamen..."
"The chief governor treats the old and is good at promoting the new. It is not a big news. Now, Chai Zhonglang, who is in charge of the rebellion, is also the old Volunteer who met in Canton at the time. He is even more recommended and helpful, so he can stabilize Steady and reasonable as the deputy's responsibility; and although Zhu, Zhang and others are in the ranks, they are still so weak and authoritative in the governor's mansion."
