Chapter 21 The 21st round of Miaoshou Airdrop Poetry Newsletter

It was already the third day of April when Hongli received the order to return to Beijing.At this time, the edict to carry out the New Deal has been known all over the world, and notices of the governors of Liangjiang and Jiangsu Governors are posted everywhere in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, explaining the New Deal.Li Wei was not very literate, so he was a beggar, so he compiled Yongzheng's edict into two copies: one copy was bound in the original package and distributed to schools in all counties and prefectures. The township made a speech again.The magistrates and county magistrates not only took the exam every one day to compare the scholars to understand the sacred meaning, but also had to deal with the exam papers sent by Li Wei and Yin Jishan every five days.What was posted on the street was not the original text of the Shangyu and Tingzhi.Li Wei ordered his staff to compile imperial edicts and documents sent by the court, and everything related to the New Deal, into Gu'er Ci, Daoqing, Lotus Falling, and Jiaguan Ci'er, which were engraved and printed in large numbers.The operas of various theaters added official operas, and "Ode to the Emperor" was sung before the main text of storytelling and singing in tea shops and restaurants. Even Fengyue people on the Qinhuai River received a free copy for each guest.In the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even the fisherman and the woodcutter are well-known to everyone in the Yongzheng New Deal.Hongli lived in front of the post house in the east of the Confucius Temple. Because it was the busiest place in Nanjing, the Governor’s Yamen specially set up a lamp shed, and the various lamps were also decorated with slang works by Li Wei’s subordinates, attracting spectators during the day and night, and guessing lantern riddles There is no lottery prize for winning, only a lottery ticket is issued. With one lottery ticket, one liter of food can be paid in the righteous warehouse when you return home.Even the propaganda slogan printed on the back of the lottery ticket:

Dear elders, you are listening, the emperor Yulu is very kind.The consumption limit is taken from the people, and the remaining silver should be returned to the public.Civil and military officials are adopted to support honesty, and honest officials are used for the common people.All those who come to sue are flat, and white-haired and yellow children enjoy peace...Nowadays, there is a righteous warehouse in Dafu, and the accumulation is insufficient in times of abundance.The rich family loves benevolence and accumulates yin, and the poor family benefits and is healthy.Hairpin tassels should be admired for wealth and righteousness, even if they are nobles, they should also pay for food.You should know that my emperor is planning far away to plan Pingyang for you.

... All kinds of different things, provoked the peasants from the eight remote villages and the four villages who entered the city to trap the lamp shed all day long.Half a month ago, Hongli ordered people to secretly collect these lottery tickets and submit the samples directly to Yongzheng, and wrote a secret letter to highly praise: According to my son's calculation, one lottery ticket is exchanged for one liter of rice, and one million tickets are distributed, and only 10,000 shi of the remaining grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be paid. Respect the gist of the oracle.It is impossible to calculate the value from the grain of ten thousand stones.

Today, after receiving the order to return to Beijing to report on his work, and to visit Zha Tian Wenjing's impeachment, Yuan Zhejia Zhu wholesale returned him.It is still the very familiar regular script of his father Yongzheng: I have always known Li Weigong's voice of loyalty, and his clever nature is difficult for people to learn.Your papers have been transcribed and distributed to all provinces, which can be handled as a reference.It is difficult to generalize the affairs of the world, for example, in Shandong, it is difficult to raise funds for disaster relief even if it is 10,000 shi.Long-sleeved and good at dancing, rich in wealth and good at business, Li Wei is right, but he also pays attention to the government affairs office on weekdays.

In addition, send a few copies of the report to me.Because Er is about to leave Ning to go to Henan, and there are many inconveniences on the way, these residence newspapers have not yet been issued to the Central Province.From Er to Kaifeng, you can continue to read without lag. Hongli also picked up a few mansion newspapers sent in a sealed box sent by the court. In fact, there was no important content, except that the consumption limit of the eighteen provinces was returned to the public, and the promotion of official Yanglian was absent. Hu Shili personally escorted Yunyu to Baoding, and handed over "Seth Hei" to Li Fu for "strict supervision".Li Fu's impeachment of Tian Wenjing's "Five Unforgivable" excerpts did not publish the original text, only one title was published.There is also a military report from General Altai, saying that Luo Bu Zang Tenzin died of illness, and Luo Zhi's remnant old troops have been taken in by Celing Arabtan.The military power of the Jungar Khalkha Mongolian Army has been transferred to Ce Ling, and now it is frequently mobilized.Another order has been given to Weiyuan General Yue Zhongqi, ordering him to be on guard.There are two other stories, one is that Yang Mingshi has been appointed Minister of Rites, and the other is that Sun Jiagan has returned from Yungui Guanfeng Envoy to serve as Zuodu Censor, and will leave for Beijing Yunyun today.

In his study, he read these mansion newspapers against Zhu's comments, and he was relieved from his nervousness.Some time ago, the "Baye Party" made a big noise in Qianqing Palace, and he reported as many as five or six urgent reports a day, and he knew everything about the incidents in the capital.Li Wei, Yin Jishan, and Fan Shijie came to pay their respects every day, and went around to inquire about the inner court news. Although Hongli dealt with it calmly, he was not quite sure.At first, he was worried that Prince Lian would disrupt the court situation, and then he was afraid that a big prison would be raised to govern the Yunsi Party.Everything is peaceful, and I feel that I have been in other provinces for a long time, wondering whether someone will play tricks in front of Yongzheng.It doesn’t matter how big or small the matters instructed in this secret edict and the Dibao are, the important thing is that Yongzheng has more trust in himself. In order to keep him in control of the overall situation of the provinces and borders, he personally sent the unsent samples of the Dibao.Hongli couldn't help admiring his father's meticulousness, but also faintly realized that Hongshi's handling of government affairs in Beijing was not in line with the emperor's mind.Therefore, after putting down the documents sent by the court, Hongli was completely relieved.But I saw four well-dressed men coming in from the second door outside the main room, but they didn't come in. They lined up in the courtyard in front of the steps, shouted "here" fatly, and said: "Fourth prince, slave Xing Jianye, Xing Jianmin, Xing Jianzhong, and Xing Jianyi are practicing with the master!"

The four brothers of the Xing family were originally from Shandong. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, seven generations of the family of policemen passed down their ancestors. His father, Xing Lianzhu, was old and sent his four sons to Li Wei's office.In order to test the martial arts abilities of the Xing family's children, Li Weite transferred them to the governor's office in Nanjing to listen to them first. Whenever Hongli practiced martial arts on a single day, he appointed four of him to accompany him.When Hongli saw them coming, he immediately took off his outer robe and gown. On the inner moon white gown, he only put on a rose-purple Matulu waistcoat, and changed into a pair of corduroy soap boots. He stepped out of the hall with a brow-level stick in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is the last time I will practice the style, I will go back to Beijing, and I will meet Nanjing officials in three days from tomorrow, so I won't have time to play—" - How do you practice today?"

"Follow the Lord's order!" Xing Jianye said with crossed hands. "You guys have already learned how to fight and kick." Hongli said with a smile, "Change the trick today. I'm going to practice the club today, and you guys will come up one by one. Whoever can take the stick from me will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!" Hongli said. As Li said, he took out a bank note from the leaf of his boot and placed it on the steps in front of the window, pressing it down with a stone.Come over to set up a door, swung the stick with one hand and cast a net all over the sky, spun around more than a dozen times, "raised fire to burn the sky" with one hand, and held the stick in the Qinhuang's negative sword style with the other, and the whole courtyard was filled with wind.

The four brothers saw him raise his hands so gracefully and neatly, they couldn't help applauding, and shouted in unison: "Good!" When Hongli danced excitedly, a stick in his hand hooked, picked, twisted, tapped, pried, squeezed, collapsed, stabbed... as light as a lamp grass, and sometimes the stick was like a shaft, spinning and kicking continuously in the air; Sometimes he made strides forward and leaped, his hands danced upside down like a windmill, and he jumped and kicked with fists and feet between his feet. Even the flowers and plants by the courtyard were moved by the wind of the stick.The four brothers didn't make a move for a while, they stood aside and looked closely for a while, and they already saw that Hongli's stick technique came from the inner court, although he was instructed by the masters of the inner court, he had committed a "palace disease".Although he danced airtightly, it was just good-looking, and the four of them felt that it would not be difficult to take the oak stick from his hand.But I also consider that he is today's "Prince", self-willed and conceited, so how can I save face?Xing Jianye was thinking of a way, and the fourth son Xing Jianyi had already entered the arena, shouting: "Fourth master, offended!" Jumping around in the shadow of Hongli's stick, he saw that Hongli's foot was not stable, and he flew his feet Kick Hongli's hind leg horizontally.Hongli hastily propped up a stick to fly a fish, his body was suspended in the air, but Jianyi made a false move, lunged with his left leg, and made a sharp hook with his right foot, Hongli lost his head support and had already landed.Seeing that he was about to fall off a horse, Jianyi blocked his left hand and supported Hongli. Hongli was stunned for a moment, the stick in his hand had been blown three feet high by Xing Jianyi's right hand.The stick fluttered into Xing Jianyi's hands.Hongli took a step back with a smile, and said: "There is no need to compete anymore, even you took it away, not to mention your brother? It's so good, my club dance can't even splash water, how did you get in?" ? The big insiders don’t have the ability.”

"The guards in the palace are for the lord." Xing Jianyi said with a smile, "Nothing in the world is perfect. He only pours water on the places where you dance densely, so naturally he can't get in. The villain owes him 20 yuan of gambling money." Two, my lord’s leading banknote is too eye-catching, so I’m presumptuous!” Hongli couldn’t help laughing, and said, “So that’s how it is! Your eyes are red after losing the bet? Good, good! So sincere, your master deserves it. Help you fill it back!" As he said, when he went back to pick up the silver ticket, he couldn't help being surprised: the colorful things that had been pressed under the stone on the steps had disappeared, and someone had replaced it with a piece of Xue Tao note. , there seems to be words in the dots!Hongli carefully took out the note as if he was afraid of being scalded, with a frozen smile on his face, he opened it with shaking fingers, and there was a poem written on the paper:

I am diligent in government and return my meritorious service, and I can't bear to listen to old songs.Miaoshou empty-handed sincerely tells you, prevent withering on the way to the north! When I looked closely, it was the paper I used most often, and the ink was moist and stained with my fingers, obviously it was written just now.In broad daylight, in the heavily guarded residence of the imperial envoy, in front of several martial arts masters, this thief calmly entered the study room to write a poem, and quietly exchanged bank notes, coming and going without a trace. Also incredible. The Xing brothers were taken aback, and immediately knew what had happened. Xing Jianye and Xing Jianmin took a few steps forward to protect Hongli. Jianzhong Jianyi flew into the room with a roar, and the two of them built a pergola on the back of the room. Looking out, you can see green halls and tiled houses connecting the fields, winding alleys and small streets with many twists and turns, children's creaking laughter from time to time, and a scene of spring inside and outside the courtyard. In a peaceful world, how can you see the shadow of a thief?The four brothers searched Hongli's study again, and then invited Hongli, who was initially in shock, to enter.Seeing Hongli staring blankly as if he had lost something, all four of them felt embarrassed.Xing Jianye lowered his head and said with a red face, "I'm so shocked, you are all young and incompetent, and I really don't think there are such snitches in Nanjing!" "Perhaps it was done by undercover people from the rivers and lakes in this station." Seeing that they were so ashamed, Hongli turned around and smoothed things over for them: "Besides, you all stared at me and Jianyi, and didn't pay attention. Don't be so dejected. This is a hundred taels of silver, and I will reward you all the same!" As he spoke, he handed over another bank note, how could the four of them dare to accept it?Just as he was ignoring the meeting, someone came in from the gate and reported: "Li Wei, governor of Liangjiang, and Fan Shijie, governor of Jiangnan, are here to pay homage." Hongli stuffed the bank note into Xing Jianye's hand, stood up and said, "Call in. " After a while, I saw Li Wei wearing a large robe with nine pythons and five claws, and a golden pheasant patch on it, walking in slowly and squarely.He has been recovering from a long illness, and has been suffering from phlegm and asthma. He is as thin as a hemp stick, and he is picking up his clothes empty.Behind him, Fan Shijie was as solid as a rock roll, his face flushed red from eating, and his face trembled with each step.Afterwards, two maidservants and an old woman followed silently, and after passing through the second gate, they stopped along the wall with their hands down.Li Wei waved his hands at them, and said: "You are here to obey orders first." He turned around and beat Qian'er to Hongli who was coming out, and said: "Slave Li Wei, Fan Shijie pay respects to the master!" He kowtowed his head together with Fan Shijie. "Okay! Get up!" Hongli gave his hands a little help on the steps, and while letting the two of them into the room, he asked with a smile, "Where is Jishan? I thought he would definitely come too, so why are you the two?" Looking at Li Wei's face, he said, "Your face is still pale, but your energy is much better. I asked Yang Mingshi to get you two catties of high-quality white fungus, and he wrote back saying that he had returned to Beijing and asked Jiang Yunzhou, the chief minister of Yunnan, to act as his agent. It can be delivered. That thing is called Tweety and boiled with rock sugar. It can be nourished at any time, and it is the most beneficial to the body." "Fortunately, the master is thinking about it." Li Wei smiled and said, "Tremella came from the post this morning, sir. Jiang also specially attached a letter saying that it was the grace of his master. Yin Jishan will not be able to come at this time. Last year the Yellow River was silted up at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, which blocked water transportation. Cleaning up early would have missed a big deal. Ji Shanzheng convened people from the Hedao Yamen to discuss matters, as well as the Jianshan Dam project, vernalization of soil and loosening, and the need to transfer migrant workers to build them-these are all fat vacancies, and the governor has to worry about using the cleanest people. I told him, "You want to get some things like Huang Zhenguo from Henan to control the river and build dams. If there is a mistake in the Jiangsu border and Jiangxi border this autumn, or it will collapse, I will not care about decades of face-to-face friendship." , you must be impeached to make smoke come out of your seven orifices. The money is now consumed and returned to the public, and there is some. Those river workers you sent dare to blackmail me for this little New Deal money, I have to ask the king to order the flag to kill him! Don't worry, but the ugly words come first, don't you want everything to go smoothly: ——In the evening, I will set up a glass of water and wine for Siye's farewell party, and Jishan will definitely come." Fan Shijie couldn't be quiet, while listening to Li Wei's words, he looked around and said with a smile: "Jishan is also busy with this, Mr. Yin Tai's old man wrote a letter from Beijing, and the eldest wife gave him a first-rank imperial order, asking him to write poems Qing. His mother is celebrating her fiftieth birthday again, so he has to buy a birthday gift. He told me that he wanted to invite the fourth master to take him back to Beijing along the way. The fourth master is difficult to deal with. The fourth master is a heavenly man, who can help you cold your mother behind the back of Mr. Yin? You are not a joke! Thanks to you, you are still a college student!'..." He clamped seven clips Bayi said that Hongli seemed to be in a fog, and Li Wei hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Old-fashioned, now that Jishan is such a high-ranking official, his mother is still at home, still in Qingyi Jingchai, standing and waiting for the old man and his wife. Jishan has nothing to say about this, only he is suffering..." Hongli couldn't help nodding and sighing.Li Wei changed the subject and asked, "Where are my followers and servants? My master is practicing kung fu with the Xing family brothers here, and they are not here to serve?" Hongli smiled and said, "You, Li Wei, are the most capable of controlling robbers in the world. Officials, what worries me? Because I will leave in two days, I sent them to the street to buy books. The emperor is still hot inside, and I have already written to the general of Heilongjiang, asking him to bring a live bear to Beijing for gallbladder. I'll bring back some real bezoar from here. My mother also needs to bring some things. The rest of the people are packing their luggage in the backyard. But it seems that you can't close your house at night. In broad daylight, a few people are under their noses. There are snitches stealing my money!" Then he handed the letter to Li Wei. "Really?!" Li Wei was taken aback. He took the paper with both hands and looked at it. He couldn't read half of the words, so he handed it to Fan Shijie and said, "Old Fan, Mother Xipi is too shameless, always me. I don’t know when I was full of words, and I came to Fourth Master to show my ugliness. You are literate, read it to us!” Fan Shijie was surprised and funny, read the poem, and said: “This thief doesn’t seem to be evil. I want to remind Si Ye to be careful on the road. He shows off his ability so much, it is not known that he intends to serve the court." "Ge Laozi!" Li Wei gritted his teeth and scolded, "It was all done by Gan Fengchi and others. He spread the hero post in Nanjing The feast has provoked these dubious thieves from other provinces to make trouble! The black mother accompanied Duanmu Liangyong back to get married, and she originally planned to ask them to escort the fourth master along the way, but now it seems that only the servant sent you back in person." Pointing to the servants standing in front of the second door, he said: "These are some relatives of Hei Nao's family. She is old, so she asked her family to take care of Duanmu. Duanmu and the others returned to Shandong, and I left these people behind. These girls can play and sing well. Serving Fourth Master on the road is better than men with rough hands and feet." Fan Shijie looked at the Xing family brothers with a smile and said: "How about it, don't brag, beat all Shandong invincible hands ' Already? Show your eyes this time, and wait for your father to punish you!" Li Wei beckoned the girls to come in. Seeing the four people blushing with embarrassment, Hongli hurriedly stopped Fan Shijie from speaking, and said: "At that time, we were engrossed in practicing kung fu. We were careless. Why should we take the blame too much? I will be escorted by them when I return to Beijing, Li Wei, you Don't worry, this thief definitely didn't come for my life. You don't want to send it yourself, and make such a fuss over a small post, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at your young master?" Seeing that the middle-aged woman was holding four girls After entering the house, he stopped talking, and when he looked carefully, the middle-aged woman was about forty years old, with an ivory hairpin inserted in her bun, a long face and a high nose bridge.But the two women are still young by description, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, they are both full of feet, the same color is sprinkled with green pants, light yellow embroidered shirts with piping, they are not very handsome, but standing together, they look like they are tied. The two yellow flowers stand gracefully and gracefully, with a special charm.Hongli was young and suave, because the imperial envoys were away, and he was not able to carry red belts and greens with him, and only a few men served him all day long. Seeing them standing in the study with charming and shy faces, he suddenly felt refreshed , playing with the folding fan in his hand and asked with a smile: "What's your name?" The middle-aged woman gave a blessing before leaving, and said: "The little lady's surname is Wen, Wen Liu's. The master can call me Wen's family." Pointing to the two girls, she said: "These two children are twins. The twins are the daughters of the little woman. The one with the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows is the elder sister, the master named him Yan Hong, and this is the younger sister, Yingying." "master?" "Oh, it's the black mother," said the Wen family. "The mother's family name is Fang. She was defeated during the Yongle Jingnan period, and our family was the Fang family's servants at that time. The Duanmu family adopted Fang's descendants because of their kindness." Only then did the Fang family recognize their benevolent relatives, saying to the outside world that they are masters and servants, but they are not servants. On the contrary, our Wen family is a real low-ranking leader." Before she finished speaking, Hongli already understood the connection. Li Wei never thought that the two families of Duanmu and Heima in the martial arts world had such a long history!Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Since the Fang family was defeated in Jingnan, it must be Fang Xiaoru. After the loyal ministers and martyrs, they have supported each other for more than three hundred years. This is a good story!" While eating tea, the Wen family hurriedly took off the pot from the tea hanger without waiting for orders, Yan Hong pinched the tea, carefully brewed three cups and brought them over on a plate, Yingying poured the hot water from the pot into the basin, then refilled the cold water Soaked three towels on the rope and twisted them out while they were still hot. The three had just taken two sips and tasted the aroma when the hot towels were brought up.Hongli couldn't help laughing and said: "The servants in the house still need women. The servants I brought are loyal and loyal. When it comes to these things, they look like fools." Seeing Li and Fan, they laughed and stood up. To leave, Hongli hurriedly said again: "Don't rush away, I still have something to do. It's getting late, and I will go to see Li Wei's porridge shop after a while. Don't you still invite me in the evening? Just go together." "yes!" Fan Shijie and Li Wei looked at each other and sat down again.He took down a gold-plated wooden box from the shelf of the Hongli series, pressed the mechanism with his hand, opened it with a "snap", and took out a folder with a yellow silk cover.The two of them saw at a glance that it was an invitation book that Yongzheng usually approved and reused, and hurriedly stood up.Li Wei then asked: "Does the emperor have a secret edict?" Hongli nodded, handed the booklet to Fan Shijie and said, "Read it to Li Wei." Fan Shijie saw that it was the emperor's handwriting at a glance, bowed quickly, and read it respectfully. : It will be discounted on the 18th.I have been feeling restless both physically and mentally recently. I feel hot all the time, and my head is dizzy like ghosts.You can pay attention to visit, there are good doctors in medicine and surgery, people who cultivate life deeply, or Taoist priests or Confucian scholars or laymen who preach the Tao.If you come to visit by fate, you must be obedient and enlighten, so that it is better to make him happy, and you can't force it.It is useful for me to give a generous gift to An Qi's family.Do your best to visit and ask for it on my behalf, and don't have any doubts.I don't blame you for recommending non-human beings, I have my own way to try it out.If anyone who has heard of people from other provinces can reach him, he will tell the origin of his name in secret, and I will send it to the governor of the province to visit and investigate.It cannot be regarded as written work.You can pay attention to extensive inquiries and extensive visits to fulfill my wishes.Careful and careful. Li Wei and Fan Shijie couldn't help being terrified.Looking at the date, it was on October 25th last year. Before that, they had submitted countless invitation papers, and all of them approved "I am safe, don't read it", "Doing your errands well is better than giving me good medicine." I didn't expect that such a decree was given to Hongli in addition, and it seemed that I couldn't wait to seek divination and seek medical advice! "Let's talk as we walk." Hongli smiled, took back the booklet, and saw an old man behind him slapping his body covered in dust, so he called in and said, "Old Liu, these three are newcomers who came in to serve the pen and ink in the study. I cleaned up a room next to this study and let them live in it. The two girls are still young, so tell your family not to wrong them." Then he smiled at Yanhong and Yingying: "If you come here, you will be at ease. You don't need to see outsiders in everything. What is missing Take care of what Old Liu wants. I want to go out to Mr. Li's mansion, grind the ink for me, and I will use it for writing when I come back. The books on the shelf are messy, and I know it by myself, so don't tidy it up." Then he and Li Wei went together come out.The Xing brothers winked at each other and followed. Fan Shijie walked and said: "Fourth Master, you are in casual clothes. It is not suitable for us to follow suit. Can you allow us to go back and change our clothes before serving?" Li Wei said with a smile: "I have all kinds of clothes in my sedan chair at any time. Brother-in-law Fan If you want to be a beggar or a bastard in Fengyue Tower, I will immediately dress you up like a fool!" Li Wei is used to scolding Fan Shijie, and said with a smile: "If you want to be a beggar, I will dress up as a beggar!" Old beggar. If you want to play the little bastard and lead the horse, I will play the old bastard!" The two quarreled, causing Hongli to laugh uncontrollably.At that moment, the two came out of Li Wei's official sedan chair. Li Wei wore a black satin six-in-one melon skin hat, a black satin jacket, a betel nut purse hanging from his waist, and a pair of sunglasses on his thin face. He looked like a master.Fan Shijie wore a gray felt hat, a gray poplin robe and a green cloth jacket—but he looked like a housekeeper.The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They didn't take the main road when they left the post house. They walked along an alley that led out from an alley and meandered to the northeast. The distant Xuanwu Lake. In April, the south of the Yangtze River is already green with flowers and trees. Walking north from the post station is actually the suburb of Nanjing, but you can see the willows whirling on both sides of the loess sidewalk, the warm wind is pleasant, and the endless cauliflower is rippling in the setting sun in the west. Occasionally There are vegetable fields, planted with eggplant seedlings, green pepper seedlings, shallots, radishes, cucumbers, kidney beans, green bamboo shoots and other vegetables, which are verdant and green.The children are by the ditch where the vegetables are poured, some are chasing butterflies, some are catching insects, some are playing in the water, some slipped and fell into the water, and were thrown mud and sand by a group of boys on the shore, and had a water fight , some were crying, some were laughing, some were making noise, some were scolding, some were spanking their sons who looked like mud monkeys...a farmhouse pastoral scene.The three relatives and dignitaries who are dazed and competing for fame and wealth all day long feel refreshed.While walking, Hongli asked Li Weidao: "Why do you think of setting up Yicang and a porridge field? The emperor praised me several times. He said that when all the governors of the world will do this kind of charity, the peak of governance will come soon. .Probably the peace is long, the land is easy to annex, the rich and the poor are more, even if there is peace, floods, droughts and locust plagues are inevitable. Revolutions have always been cunning and heroic. In the long run, this is really a temple. It’s a good way for people to take care of both.” "I'm not as far and as deep as the emperor thought." Li Wei held a straw knot in his hand, and chewed it bit by bit, "I only know what it's like to be hungry-seeing something to eat I want to rob, and I want to fight when I see a rich man! My aunt, her husband died for ten years, she kept the festival and never married. After a locust plague passed, the crops were eaten as if they had been harvested. She sold flowers (that is, prostitution)—— She still has to support her son!" He was silent and stopped talking.Fan Shijie nodded and sighed: "It's true. I was in Yandao, Wuhu, and I saw Liu Er's hungry people riot, and they didn't give enough food for a catty. That Liu Er's firewood seller passed there, and beat the owner of the rice shop with a pole. The west foot is facing the sky. Hundreds of hungry people took the opportunity to rob rice, burn shops, rob bank accounts, even those who were not hungry were involved, smashed the doors of rich people, robbed food, murdered and raped women... It took a lot of effort to suppress it. Killing Liu Er, I was the supervisor and beheader, and there were dozens of tables outside where wine was set up to commemorate him. I just opened my eyes and closed my eyes, not daring to offend the crowd, and went over to toast him with a bowl of wine before execution. Fourth master, you You have to be there to know it, it’s really a trigger, and it’s out of control!" Hongli looked into the distance, probably the rapeseed field under the sun was too dazzling, and the pupils in his slightly narrowed eyelids gleamed, and he licked Licking his lips, he swallowed what he wanted to say.Li Wei saw a dark and high-rise building in front of him, with sentries standing by the surrounding walls, and pointed out with his hand: "This is the Jiangnan Grain Depot. After the grain depot is Xuanwu Lake, the porridge field is located by the lake." Li asked, "Why is it located here?" "There is a dilapidated Wutong Temple over there, which can shelter from the wind and rain." Li Wei said, "There is water near the lake, so you can wash and clean it, and you will be less sick. It is close to the grain storehouse, and it is convenient to get food. ——I don’t allow any beggars in the city, and it’s not easy to cause trouble outside if you have to be well arranged.” The three of them walked while talking, and they turned around the grain depot, and saw the vast Xuanwu Lake with clear waves.A large temple on the west side of the south bank of the lake is very majestic, but it has been in disrepair for a long time and looks gray.The empty field on the east side of the temple seems to be the place where the temple fair was held in the past. A row of reed mats on the east side of the empty field forms a shed, with firewood piled up next to it. Boom.Because it was almost time for dinner, thousands of hungry people had gathered in the empty field, standing in six lines as if lined up and scattered, all in rags and disheveled, with bowls in their hands knocking loudly, impatiently waiting for the sheds to open meal.From time to time, there were quarrels and rough curses from the crowd, the sounds of women nursing and humming songs, and the sounds of children being beaten, screaming and crying, mixed with inexplicable laughter from time to time, it was extremely chaotic.Fan Shijie caught a glimpse of a clerk in the tent of the grain depot who was busy ordering people to unload rice from the cart, but he didn't know his name, so he yelled, "Hey, why are you stunned? It's you—come here, I have something to ask you!" "It's Mr. Fan!" The official stared for a long time before he recognized it. He ran over with his buttocks upside down, and said to Fan Shijie, "Young Yin Gui, please greet Mr. Fang Bo!" He stood up with puzzled eyes Looking at Hongli and Li Wei, smiling all over his face, he said, "Why do you have the time to come here, old man? It's so dirty, there's not even a place to sit..." Fan Shijie ignored him and asked: "How many people are taking advantage of the food here?" "It doesn't matter, sometimes there are three or four thousand people. Today there are fewer people, about fifteen hundred people." "Distribute according to the head, how much food per person?" "Three two." "What about women with children?" "Back to the adults, it is counted according to the head." Yin Gui smiled, "the same is true for the children. Before the meal, give out bamboo sticks, one for each stick, which saves quarrels." Hongli interjected and asked, "They are all from this province? Are there many people from other provinces?" Yin Gui glanced at Hongli, then quickly lowered his head and said, "My lord, it's less than one stop in ten miles in this province. Governor Li has a constitution All the hungry people in this province will be given food to return to their hometowns. There are still food shortages in the counties, and most of the hungry people here in this province have no land at home. You send him back, but he still comes.” Hongli couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "Which province has the most beggars here?" Yin Gui replied without hesitation: "Henan. Not only are there many, but they are all nests. Some families have three generations. Some came and went alone, called a group, the bottom line-you don’t serve him a little, and the father and mother barked like a dog, and we will eat us in Jiangnan!" His face He glanced contemptuously at the noisy people, and then sighed again: "It's no wonder they call it 'reclamation' over there. Some counties flatter Cheng Tanaka, and the more they report, the more they get promoted. Li Baojia chiefs They drive people away from the wasteland and open up the new fields, and if they make mistakes, they tear down the house and drive people out, and the land can't be planted, and the original land is also delayed." Seeing Hongli's gloomy face, Fan Shijie just groaned and said with a smile: "Let's take a look in the shed?" Yin Gui guided, and the three of them strolled to the front of the shed.I saw six sheds facing the west and the east, and there were six large pig-killing pots lined up, all of which were full of porridge.There are rice bags stacked in the shed, beds spread out for night watch, and a few large spoons are placed along the edge of the pot. A few fireworkers are left with only their single shirts covered with oil and sweat, stirring the rice with long-handled spoons in their hands.Hongli scooped up the porridge with a spoon, saw that the color was gray or red, and brought it close to his nose to sniff, with a slight musty smell, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Li Wei, "Are you full? " "It's almost enough to be full. This thing doesn't make you hungry. You'll be hungry after a few urinations." Li Wei couldn't help laughing, "I won't be full, and I won't let him starve to death. This is my purpose." Hongli sighed softly Put down the spoon and leave the shed with a sound, and walk west along the sidelines.Li Wei said this when he was doing disaster relief in Shandong, and he heard the governor of Shandong say it too.Sheltering porridge is to save lives and famines. The victims cannot be allowed to eat better than farming at home, nor can they be so hungry that they smash the porridge shed.Li Wei and Fan Shijie had already caught up, seeing him walking westward in a daze, Fan Shijie hurriedly said: "Master, there is Wutong Temple over there, and these people live there, so it's nothing to see." Hongli didn't seem to hear it, so he quickened his pace and came to the temple.As it was almost time for dinner, there were almost no people in the temple here, only a few ragged old women in ragged jackets, snuggling up at the corner of the door to bask in the sun.When Hongli looked up, he saw a broken plaque in front of the temple, on which were written "Wutong Shrine", and half of the word "Ancestral Temple" had been peeled off.The couplets on the couplets are fairly complete: There are spirits and gods that shine on all directions to protect the country and enrich the people. If they respond like blood and food, they will bring misfortune and good fortune to all people. The inscription below has been blurred.Li Wei explained from the side: "This ancestral hall was very popular. In the early years of Kangxi, a pair of boys and girls were filled with mercury as a living sacrifice every year! Tang Bin was appointed as the magistrate of Nanjing. He tore up the statue and burned it, and drove out the abbot and Taoist priests. Said that if there is any disaster, I will take it all. Tang Wenzheng is not only fine, but also promoted. Last year, two foreign monks, who said they were from France, took a fancy to this land and wanted to build a church. They fought with me several times Pi. I said to build a temple, it’s done! But if you want to build it, you can build a Confucian temple or a Buddhist temple. I don’t know what kind of bird Jesus and Sunsu you are. This kind of thing needs to be played. We don’t know what the outsiders are doing, so be careful what they say--" When I was going to talk, I heard a "dangdang" bell from the porridge shed, and people exploded Cheering like a nest, "The shed is open, the shed is open"!The pots and pans were crowded and crashed into one piece.As soon as Hongli turned his head, there was a burst of heart-piercing scolding from the temple here, but it was the voice of a Henan woman: "You are a murderer! You are a big man seven feet tall, and his wife and son can't support him." !Eat food, pants are so rotten that they can't cover your eggs, and you have to gamble with others...Ah ho...I want you to sell yourself, a little girl like me will give it away, and she will live?..."
