The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

In May of that year, the Mei family boarded a large ship, intending to transfer along the Ganjiang River to the Yangtze River, and then change the ship from the unfinished Shanghai Port to the Dongying Yanzu, and then change to a large ship to reach the west coast of North America.Dr. Mei led his family to watch the big boat go away, and when he returned home, he saw the guy from Jia's horse shop coming.

The clerk led a man, and Dr. Mei felt that this man was unusual—the appearance was so ordinary that no one would take a second look at him if he was thrown into the crowd, his eyes were extremely bright.The clerk introduced: "This is Comrade Pan Xigui from the capital." Pan Xigui stepped forward to shake hands with Dr. Mei.The three of them went into Dr. Mei's study, and the maid served tea.

The clerk went on to say: "Comrade Xigui is going to Dajiala, Taiwan to learn the new trade union operation mode. After finishing his studies, he will be stationed in Jiangxi to work. I'm here to ask you, do you want to go together?"

Dr. Mei thought for a while: "I would like to visit Dajiala, but I can't go right now. There may be floods in the past two months. Since I promised Miss Su, I must help resettle the victims."

The buddy looked at Pan Xigui with a smile: "What did I say?"

Pan Xigui said: "I don't want to leave too early. I have stayed in the capital city and Ping'an Prefecture, and organized trade union activities. I can help you when the time comes."

The guy said: "The trade union in Ping'an Prefecture was founded by Comrade Xigui. The organization feels that Jiangxi's banditry has just been eradicated, and the hidden Maitreya religion has also been uprooted. It is a period of vacancy in belief. For the revolutionary party, the timing is the best .If it develops well, it can become our base. Therefore, Comrade Xigui was sent here to preside over the work.”

Pan Xigui said: "The work in Beijing, Ping'an Prefecture, Wu State and other places will be dominated by the urban trade unions, and the cities will lead the villages; in Jiangxi, we want to focus on the rural areas and surround the cities with the rural areas. The county promotes and propagates the revolution."

Dr. Mei thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the base...plan to be established?"

Pan Xigui said: "Comrade Shi Qiusheng said he was established in Ruijin County, Ganzhou Prefecture. When I asked him why, he said it was auspicious. I always feel that auspiciousness is a cover, and there must be other reasons."

Dr. Mei asked, "How about the magistrate of Ruijin?"

Pan Xigui said: "The bandits scared them away four or five years ago, but now the elders of a few big families are in charge of it, and if they want to file a lawsuit, they go to the Ganzhou government to file a complaint."

Dr. Mei nodded, "Since that's the case, Comrade Xigui is preparing for a trade union in Nanchang Mansion, and I'm going to Ruijin County."

The clerk and Pan Xigui exchanged glances: "Why? Are you familiar with that side?"

Dr. Mei said: "Most of them are Hakka people. My deceased wife is a Hakka person from Ganzhou Prefecture. I can speak some Hakka dialect. Besides." I did not study. Because I had to catch up with the two important filial piety, I delayed the township examination. Later, I was too lazy to take the exam. This year, I will take the exam. I have talent and learning, and I helped the prefect of Su settle the disaster victims. It is not difficult to think of a person. "

The clerk inexplicably said: "Doctor Mei, why do you want to take the imperial examination again?"

Pan Xigui hurriedly said, "I understand." Nai gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Mei is so wise. Now that you have done that, Ruijin is entrusted to you." Nai explained to the clerk, "Mr. Mei intends to seek the county magistrate of Ruijin."

Dr. Mei smiled and said: "Since there are big family members controlling it, it is difficult to pour water into it for no reason. With the county magistrate Wusha in our hands, everything will be much easier to handle."

The clerk nodded again and again: "You scholars just have a lot of ideas." Nai said again, "It's just that you have to have soldiers and horses to help you."

Pan Xigui said: "It's okay. I guarantee that both the general and the deputy will help us."

Dr. Mei happily said: "Really?" Pan Xigui nodded.Dr. Mei said, "That night, I dare say that I have great confidence." The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Dr. Mei simply invited the two of them to have dinner at home.During the dinner, Pan Xigui talked about the establishment of a labor union in Ping'an Prefecture, and he was quite high-spirited.The clerk unconsciously asked, "Is Comrade Xigui's family still in Ping'an Prefecture?"

Pan Xigui was startled, and said with a wry smile: "In the early years, I picked up someone else's daughter-in-law, and I thought I could live in peace. Who would have thought that her serious husband would come to the door. Fortunately, I already knew Comrade Shi Qiusheng at that time, and I had something to do. .Later...my daughter..." He shook his head and laughed again, before saying, "My daughter is a good girl."

When Liu Mingyi saw her mother having an affair with her biological father, she ran away from home in a fit of rage, and later met Jia Gui and others in Qin State.After they were rescued by the Taiwan government's special camp, Liu Mingyi seemed to have grown up a lot, and said like a little adult: "I understand. People can only control themselves, but they can't control others."

That time I went to rescue Chen Ruijin in person, and after listening to it, I was surprised: "You even understand this? It's really not easy."

Liu Mingyi nodded solemnly and said: "I really understand. Not to mention that I can't control my parents, nor can I control them. I can't control them, and they can't control me."

The special battalion returned from Qin to Taiwan, passed through the capital, and sent Liu Mingyi back home.Liu Mingyi insisted on changing her surname to Pan, but her mother naturally refused to agree.Pan Xigui was very embarrassed.He had already given up on the Qi family, but it happened that Shi Qiusheng discussed with him to send someone to build a trade union in Ping'an Prefecture, so he volunteered.At that time, Pan Xigui's Revolutionary Freemasonry in the capital was already an extremely important backbone.If he leaves, there will be no one to support him for the time being.Shi Qiusheng hesitated a bit.

Shi Qiusheng's wife, Jin Yuanyang, was a staunch character, and when she heard about their troubles in the early years, she defended Pan Xigui.It wasn't until Liu Mingyi came back that she found out about Qi's cheating, and she suddenly became angry, and went to Qi's house to inquire about buying embroidery, but in fact she wanted to ridicule her and vent her anger.Unexpectedly, before Yuanyang could get to the point, Qi suddenly retched.Yuanyang is such a character, she immediately knew that Qi must be pregnant.Ignoring the sarcasm, he found an excuse and left, rushing back to discuss with Shi Qiusheng.

Shi Qiusheng immediately said: "Lao Pan doesn't know about this yet."

Yuanyang said: "I don't know the best. Hurry up and tell him to go to Ping'an Prefecture, and don't let him know." Shi Qiusheng didn't care about hesitating, and hastily drove Pan Xigui to Ping'an Prefecture.

Pan Xigui really didn't know that Qi was pregnant, and he thought that he would go elsewhere to end the matter.When I left, I didn't tell my family. I just took my daughter and told me about it for a long time.Liu Mingyi was very clever, and she often went to the office of the Revolutionary Freemasonry to play and listen to Shi Qiusheng and the others talking, and she overheard the couple discussing whether to send her father to Ping'an Prefecture.Hearing Pan Xigui's advice that day, he immediately understood.Nai Zhengse said to Pan Xigui: "Father, I am still a little too young to be my own master. Our teacher said that young people can be independent when they are 16 years old. At that time, I will go to the yamen to change my surname. I will let my father raise me for nothing." Pan Xigui immediately hugged her in his arms, and burst into tears.The next day, while it was still dark, he jumped on his horse with his burden on his back, and went out of the city gate to Ping'an Prefecture under the first snow.

When he arrived in Ping'an Prefecture, Pan Xigui contacted several local leaders of the revolutionary party and started a trade union based on the experience in the capital.Half a month later, I got a letter from Shi Qiusheng stating that Liu Si and the Qi family were married.Pan Xigui suddenly felt his body relax, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, so he devoted himself to his career.Liu Mingyi sent him letters every month, each letter was extremely thick, and what was written in the letter was nonsense.What to eat every day, what to play, what the teacher taught, bickering and fighting with classmates, etc. are all written in it.But Pan Xigui loves to read, every letter is like a treasure.

In the first six or seven letters, Liu Mingyi didn't mention her mother at all.In the eighth letter, I brought a few words.Said that she and her classmates went to Tianqi Temple to play, and everyone around them burned incense and worshiped Buddha.She is the successor of the proletariat. If you don't believe in that, you don't want to worship her.But suddenly remembered that the doctor said that her mother seemed to have given birth prematurely, and the mother believed in gods and Buddhas, so she worshiped her mother.When Pan Xigui found out that Qi Shi was pregnant, he thought it was only after he left the capital.Later, Shi Qiusheng mentioned in his letter that the Qi family gave birth to a son prematurely, less than eight months old.Pan Xigui was very busy in those days, although he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, he didn't have time to think about it.So they were completely concealed by the big and small ones in the capital, and they didn't notice it at all.

On the contrary, Shi Qiusheng thought that Liu Mingyi's cooperation was ingenious, so he wrote a letter to Chen Ruijin, the Taiwanese government, to praise her.Chen Ruijin was very pleased, and discussed with Jia Cong to take this little apprentice to Dajiala to study in two years.Jia Cong said: "Her old lady has a new son, will she treat her less? Why don't you pick him up now, so as not to make the child feel uncomfortable." Chen Ruijin said: "I just think it's possible that it will be two years later of."

After getting a new son, Qi obviously valued his son more, and Liu Si still loved her daughter as much as his life.Although Liu Mingyi was somewhat disappointed, she accepted her biological father.

After the banditry in Jiangxi gradually subsided, Jia Cong felt that this was the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, another cradle of revolution in another time and space, and it was most suitable to promote revolutionary ideas to ordinary people, so he asked Shi Qiusheng to send a useful person there, and let that person go first. Come to Dajiala to study for a while.Shi Qiusheng felt that others couldn't bear the burden, so he went to Ping'an Prefecture and asked Pan Xigui if he would like to go.Pan Xigui did very well in the labor union in Ping'an Prefecture, but he knew that Ping'an Prefecture was originally the territory of Rongguo Mansion, and everything was easy.If you go to Jiangxi, although the newly appointed magistrate there has ties to the Rongguo Mansion, he is not a revolutionary party.Moreover, bandits have been in trouble for many years and the situation is complicated, so it must be difficult to handle the errand.I also thought that my daughter was about to go to Dajiala to study. Jiangxi is much closer to Taiwan than Ping'an Prefecture.After hesitating for a few days, I agreed.

When we arrived at Nanchang Mansion, we got in touch with the local comrades.The shopkeeper Zhou of Jia's horse shop strongly recommended Dr. Mei, so he came to visit.Today, Pan Xigui is no longer the little eunuch he was back then, and he has a very happy conversation with Dr. Mei.Dr. Mei is also considered a genius, but he can't figure out his origin at all.

In the second half of the month, Jiangxi suffered heavy rain for days, and the water level of the Ganjiang River soared.

Su Tao had already borrowed a doctor from the Ministry of Water from the Ministry of Industry of the capital city to help him come up with ideas, but that person was just a talker, and he talked in plain language for a long time, and Su Tao didn't think it was appropriate.On that day, Su Tao was in a troubled mood, and Liu Hu, who was leading his master and bodyguards, was walking up the river. When he heard two old river workers talking, he suddenly felt that he was much more reasonable than the doctor of the water department, so he hurried forward to ask for advice.He didn't wear official robes, the old river worker didn't know that he was the magistrate, he just thought he was a scholar who was interested in inquiring about water control, so he pointed to the river and said.These two people don't know half of their characters, but they have worked on the Ganjiang River for most of their lives, so they know everything.It is clear when the river will rise, why it will rise, where the dams are well built, and where it looks like tofu.At the end, the two said: "There is an old official in Anyi County, Mr. Xiong, who understands this best. It's a pity that the old year's flood broke the bank, and the magistrate let him go."

Su Tao was overjoyed and asked, "Where is Mr. Xiong now?"

Old He Gong said: "I don't know, probably at home."

Su Tao immediately galloped to Anyi County.After inquiring, it turned out that although Xie Jing dismissed him from his position last year, the county magistrate was originally an official with [-] donations, and he relied on Mr. Xiong for everything, and he couldn't do anything without him.As soon as Xie Jing left, the magistrate immediately invited him back.Su Tao heard it was funny, and easily found that Mr. Xiong.This person didn't know that he was the magistrate at first, so he only came to ask for advice on water control as a studious person.Sighing: "This year, the water can no longer be cured." Su Tao hurriedly asked why.Mr. Xiong said, "It's too late."

Nai took a tree branch and drew a map of the water flow of the Ganjiang River on the ground, pointing out: "A big opening was opened here in the old year, and this large area was flooded. When the flood subsided, I was the one who frightened us with the theory of ghosts and gods." My lord, he had someone mend the breach of the dike. It was only repaired slightly, but it was not strong. This year, the water is only bigger than the old year, not less than the old year. What was washed away in the old year was the previous court repair. The old dike! If the old dike is a stone, the new patch is just a piece of cloth. The stone can't hold back the water of the past year, how can the piece of cloth hold back the water of this year?"

After hearing this, Su Tao became sad, cupped his fists and said, "Please tell me, if you want to save the common people, what should you do?"

Mr. Xiong shook his head: "There is no way. Baba, wait for the flood."

"Is there another place to vent the flood?"

Mr. Xiong sighed: "No matter what you do, it will be too late."

Liu Hu followed Su Tao all the time, remembering that Su Cheng talked about many water control methods with Zhenming in Tianning Temple a few days ago, which Jia Cong heard from the news of later generations.He said: "Master, the villain has heard of some methods." Then he repeated what Su Cheng said according to the gourd painting.

Mr. Xiong listened with relish, nodded and said: "You can really try it, but you have to leave it to fate if you succeed."

Su Tao was overjoyed, and took Liu Hu's hand: "General Liu, I don't think you can control the water!"

Liu Hu said: "The villain dare not be greedy for merit. These are what Zhang Daguan from Xiaolongzhai and Cixiangzhuang said to the Taoist Master Zhenming. The villain is just a parrot."

Su Tao was stunned, and after a long time he still couldn't believe it: "She said that?" Liu Hu nodded.

Mr. Xiong thought: "Time is urgent. Among her ideas, the two most useful ones are that the embankment can be cast with cement concrete, and the embankment can be repaired by soldiers."

Liu Hu thought for a while and said: "The villain thinks that the most useful thing that Zhang Daguan said is: count the failure before it is counted, and send away the people who may be affected by the disaster, and forcefully drive away those who refuse to leave. Let's go. Even if the embankment doesn't break in the end, it's a big deal to bear the name of disturbing the people, and you can't gamble with the lives of the people."

Su Tao couldn't help nodding his head again and again: "Very well. Just follow her words, even if I follow the example of the bandits, I have to take them away."

Mr. Xiong looked at them for a long time and hesitated, "May I ask if this gentleman is..."

Su Tao smiled, stroked his beard and said, "I am the prefect of Jiangxi Province, please Mr. Xiong to help me control the water."
