Taipingchun

Xu Xiu just wanted to speak, but the old scholar pulled his sleeves, and heard him whisper: "It's important, you should think twice, don't be reckless now."

Xu Xiu nodded and said: "Liu Da, Zhang Cong, you two go back first, and I will look for you."

Seeing that the magistrate said so, the two looked at each other and didn't say much. It's been so many years, so there's no rush for a while.I also hope in my heart that this gentleman with a good official voice can uphold justice.

Now salute and leave.

……

Back in the inner yamen, Xu Yang brought over the files from that year, but after looking through them several times, he could only find the lawsuit about Liu Jie's money owed, but there was no file related to Liu Yushan's beating to death.What made Xu Xiu frown was that Liu Jie's case had also been reported by Yin Tianfu for approval, and it would not be so easy to overturn it.

Lazy Dragon interjected: "Perhaps your lord needs to go to Duke Cheng's mansion to find out what's going on."

Xu Xiu glanced at him, and kept her head silent.Continue to flip through the file of Liu Jie in his hand, the case that he thought was easy to handle, but now it is very difficult, Guo Jun is just a squire, it is not difficult for Xu Xiu, who is the county magistrate, to really get involved with him. The difficulty lies in the fact that Zhu Lin is behind him. Although Zhu Lin does not seem to be involved on the surface, if Zhu Lin is treated as if he does not exist, it is impossible to be able to deal with Guo Jun.

Xu Xiu is in a dilemma. The former Fu Hai has been transferred to another post. According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom, the latter basically can't pick up the former's pigtails. Regardless of what other people think, he will not allow it just because he has the upper hand in order to stabilize the rules.

This time, he has to face the tyrant Guo Jun, his predecessor Fu Hai, and maybe he will also involve Shangfeng and Cheng Guogong, Bao Buqi and those people in the Yamen.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiu said: "Sir, Lazy Dragon. Please both of you go and investigate the yamen servants involved in the incident, find them out, and find a reason to get rid of them. My place does not allow such people who care about human life and lawlessness, even if they were not healthy at the time." I can't forgive myself."

Lazy Dragon nodded and left, the anger in his heart was no less than that of Xu Xiu, he really wanted to go out to find Guo Jun's bad luck, but he was worried about the Six Doors and Tong Tian who laughed so chillingly, It's not easy to shoot casually.

The old scholar stroked his beard and said, "Where's Wu Hong?"

Xu Xiudao: "Now he is the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is in charge of post horses and patrols. Maybe he can calculate here."

The old scholar said with some regret: "It's a good thing that the screen retreated to the left and right at the time. Now everyone who should know will know. I'm afraid there will be variables."

Xu Xiu pouted, as if thinking of something, sighed again: "It's true that you shouldn't startle the snake, there's nothing to think about like this, it's the only way to go."

When Xu Xiu and the old scholar were discussing how to deal with this matter, Xu Yang came in with a plate on which there were two kinds of pickled vegetables and two bowls of rice. Xu Xiu looked at it and cried, losing his appetite.

She shrugged and said, "This...shall we eat this?"

The old scholar took a bite of the rice and asked, "With your salary, what do you want to eat? Is it delicacies from mountains and seas, dragon liver and phoenix marrow?"

Xu Yang lowered his head and said embarrassingly: "A Niu, if you only rely on your salary, you can only eat like this."

Xu Xiu thought about the idea of ​​corruption for a while, but was dismissed immediately. This is not an acceptable method for her.

He patted his stomach and said, "I have to wrong you, Wu Zang Temple."

Eating rough food and wearing plain clothes and hemp shoes is just an ordinary life, too many good days have passed in future generations, since it is like this when you come here, then you have to accept it, Xu Xiu thought.It's a pity that after tasting a few mouthfuls, it was really not very tasty. He frowned and said, "Is there any soy sauce?"

Xu Yang shook his head.

"Is there any chili?"

Xu Yang asked curiously, "What is that?"

Xu Xiu had no choice but to shut up, because the chili hadn't entered China yet.

After a few more mouthfuls, he said unwillingly, "Do you still have the old vinegar from my lovely brother?"

"Yes! Yongchun old vinegar is very beautiful." Xu Yang gave a thumbs up.

"Bring it here!"

I heard that there are more, Xu Xiu's eyes lit up, sour and sweet appetizing and digesting, just thinking about it makes her saliva secrete.Unexpectedly, the vinegar that Xu Yang brought was bitter and astringent, worse than what he had eaten before.Unhappily said: "This is the Yongchun old vinegar from the lovely brother, very beautiful?"

Xu Yang rubbed his nose and said, "The Yongchun vinegar gifted by Mr. Lovely is running out, you can just eat this ordinary vinegar."

Xu Xiu took a deep breath and quickly pawed a few times to count it as lunch, and buried her head in the file for a long time.But his stomach started to rumble unsatisfactorily, the previous meals couldn't satisfy Wu Zang Temple at all.

Xu Xiu had no choice but to take a few sips of herbal tea before running around the yard.My head has been running at high speed thinking about something that can make money.

Glass?Can't make it, matchlock gun?Can't make, all kinds of food?Can't do it, do business?It's okay on paper.So what?read……

Xu Xiu, who was wandering around, had no choice but to admit that it was basically impossible for a person like himself to invent, create, do business and get rich in ancient times. Although reading books is very complicated, they are all about traditional literature, and rarely involve For other things, it seems that he had to think about it differently.

Xu Xiu hammered the hammer and said proudly: "Maybe we can go to the chess building to play chess?"

The old scholar squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that Zhao Jiuzheng and Zhao Guoshou are setting up a bureau in Nanjing now. Jun, do you want to meet him?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it... I can read, yes, read!"

Xu Xiu turned her head and left, and went straight back to the study.Now that you can read, you can know the development of the novel industry in the Ming Dynasty.Three of the four major masterpieces were written in the Ming Dynasty, and the wonderful book "Jin Ping Mei" written by Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng was also born in this era.Today's literati have the habit of writing scripts, why can't they write a stroke of their own.

However, what to write is a problem. Xu Xiu doesn't want to copy. Although her own memory is good, it is nonsense to say that the copy is exactly the same as the original. Don't believe it. If the writing is different, how can it be guaranteed? Wouldn't it be a pity that one's own literary talent could surpass the original, so don't ruin the classics at that time, so that future generations will not be able to read the classics.

Now the novels of gods and demons are popular in the world, and the famous "Four Journeys" including "Journey to the West" are all derived from "Ping Yao Zhuan" in the early Ming Dynasty, but the current version of Ping Yao Zhuan has not yet been supplemented and adapted by Feng Menglong , is not exciting.

Xu Xiu thought for a while: "Fengshen Yanyi" and "Kaikai Romance" came from the beginning of the world, but the former is not as literary because of the beautiful jade of "Journey to the West", while the latter is purely from the perspective of Buddhism. Let’s talk about things like coming to the Buddha and asking Pangu to open the sky. Regardless of whether Buddhism has been integrated into the Han culture, it is absolutely uncomfortable to rely on Western ideas to make a national myth.

You can only watch the excitement, and cannot form a kind of discourse power in ancient legends.

If we talk about the novels of gods and demons in later generations of online articles, the descriptions are too dark. How can there be such an unfair thing in this world?The Chinese believe in the karmic cycle of retribution.No matter what others think, Xu Xiu scoffs at such things. Ancient Chinese literary creations all follow the theory of cause and effect, and they are very logical. Although you can not believe in the theory of cause and effect, how can the novels written by this method not be wonderful? .Therefore, I do not want to adopt the setting of web text.

Xu Xiu thought that since he wanted to write novels to make money, he naturally couldn't let the younger generations underestimate him. If he wanted to write, he had to write well and deeply, and it was best to complete a complete set of mythology.After thinking about it for a few minutes, for Xu Xiu, who was good at writing, almost an idea appeared.

Pen wrote:

In ancient times, who preached?There is no distinction between top and bottom, who can take the test?Who can know the ghost way?Who can know the boundless stillness?

Heaven and earth have not been distinguished, Yin and Yang have not been clearly distinguished, the ancient heaven and earth seem to have no form.

Today I am writing a book "Kaikai Ji", the dream language is full of absurd words...

Such an inscription is considered complete, but Xu Xiu doesn't have so much time to write such a novel of gods and demons with an obvious grand intention and structure, so he can only put this manuscript in the bookcase for the time being to write in his free time.

……

I didn't realize that there were three poles in the sun, and a few cases were opened today, all of which were trivial matters.In fact, it is not difficult to understand that major cases, even homicide cases, are actually a minority in a county, and they are rarely encountered.Most of them are the gossip of those parents.

It's a bit choking.

Xu Xiu and the old scholar whispered a few words, and then Fu Shenggui asked, "Is this appropriate?"

"Is it appropriate or not? Since he is in the first grade of junior high school, then I will pay him back fifteen years. Of course, I am pleading for the people." Xu Xiu snorted, "I am a dignified county magistrate. I live in such a miserable state. Every day I eat and drink, he A county magistrate has a stable income, and he doesn’t know how to honor the chief official. Of course! He won’t ask for it!”

Let's just talk about the station and patrolling of Wu Hongzhu, the prefect of the county. The patrolling thing is the same as his. It seems that it can only be done from the post station.

And I want to talk about the various realities here.

When discussing the history of the Ming Dynasty when mentioning the station, the one person I have to mention is Li Zicheng, who raised his arms and said, "If the King Chuang is here, he will not pay the food." A united front slogan for propaganda warfare must be extremely powerful in traditional feudal dynasties.

Regardless of how the Ming Dynasty ended, I will discuss it with you later.But to insert a textbook-like answer, Li Zicheng ended the Ming Dynasty, so it will not be a wrong answer.

It is only said that this post station is a public business, and the court should bear the daily expenses. On the surface, it seems to be true, but it goes deeper.Those officials and gentlemen who could choke on the most innocent words of the common people were speechless.

One is to use post horses to support officials, and the other is to conscript laborers for free to build roads.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once said: "If extravagant fragrance is attached, one hundred thousand soldiers will be won!" Because this lady of Shunde in the Ming Dynasty built a road connecting Guizhou to Yunnan, Sichuan and Hunan.And the inn she opened up is now where Mr. Wang Yangming is.

Since Qin Shihuang opened up the Qin Zhidao, the kings of any dynasty and generation have to build roads, and they can understand the importance of it.The official roads of the Ming Dynasty are more than ten feet wide and sixty to eighty miles long, so there is a post station.

Up to now, only Hainan Island still has about two or three hundred miles to complete. Other official roads are spread all over the country. From any point on the road, you can go to any major city in the country. The commerce of the Ming Dynasty was extremely developed. If there was no land transportation, it would be impossible to support the commerce of the Ming Dynasty by relying on river and sea transportation alone.

What a great achievement this is, yes, what a great ancient construction.But I don't know how many laborers have developed it with countless bones?But I don't know which family or surname is in charge of the person who can open his eyes to see these people who are worthy of heaven and earth?

Instead, it echoes the saying that from ancient times to the present, only the common people are the most worthy.
