Chapter 272: audacious in the extreme

Popular recommendation:

Facing this sudden reward, Gao Qi was dumbfounded.

He had already torn off his mask and directly advocated that Zhu Yuanzhang was the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Ximeng was a sage, and asked people to go to Jinling... If he didn't get killed for doing this, he could only say that Zhang Shicheng was too stupid.

No matter how famous his talent is, he can't stop people's knives.

So Gao Qi made preparations and ran as soon as he could. He asked Yao Guangxiao to help arrange this matter. As for if he couldn't run...then he couldn't run, at least he had to arrange his wife and children properly.

It's just that Gao Qi couldn't understand anyway, Zhang Shicheng not only did not deal with him, but also gave him a bounty. This guy won't have any bad intentions, right?

Gao Qi subconsciously touched his fair and handsome face, and his body felt a chill.

At this time, suddenly an old friend Wang Xing came to visit.

"Brother Qingqiu, what's going on?"

Gao Qi is stupid, what's going on, the ghost knows what's going on?

"Zhang, Zhang Shicheng didn't design me, right?"

Wang Xing rolled his eyes and took five hundred taels of gold to pit you, why didn't you give it to me?

He sat opposite Gao Qi, grabbed a pot of tea, poured it into it, and then wiped his mouth before saying, "Someone has praised you in front of Zhang Shicheng."

"Who?"

"It's Li Bosheng... It's one of the eighteen poles that followed Zhang Shicheng, and he made a great contribution in the battle of guarding Gaoyou, but Zhang Shicheng's confidant loves him. He even gave one of his favorite singers to this person."

Hearing this, Gao Qi panicked even more, his heart was beating wildly, what was going on? Obviously he slapped Zhang Shicheng a lot, why would anyone speak for him?

"What did Li Bosheng say?" Gao Qi asked with a frown. .

"He said that you turned your hands into clouds and covered your hands into rain. At first, he scolded Zhang Ximeng for being arrogant. When he saw that the effect was not good, he immediately changed his method and exaggerated Ximeng, which turned the pigs and sheep into discoloration. , and also took the initiative to donate food and salaries. The wealthy households from Changxing, Yixing and other places continue to come, this is all your credit!"

Wang Xing added: "He also handed over your different articles before and after to Zhang Shicheng, and told him that literati are the most important, and if you can go back on your word for his great cause, it shows that you are loyal and you are a rare talent. He also suggested Zhang Shicheng reuses you! Let me come, and I also invite you to the banquet."

Only then did Gao Qi understand that this was the case, no wonder Zhang Shicheng rewarded him.

It's just that I really don't have good intentions, I'm just digging Zhang Shicheng's corner!

The person surnamed Zhang is also a fool, how can he even believe this kind of nonsense, how can he be the opponent of Wu Guogong, it seems that Zhang Shicheng is not far from bad luck!

Seeing Gao Qi's happy expression, Wang Xing couldn't help shaking his head, "Brother Qingqiu, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Li Bosheng came from Hangzhou, and the wealthy merchant Wang Jue also came, and he gave Zhang Shicheng 300,000 taels of money. The military salary was exchanged for a councillor title. In addition, there were many tycoons and tycoons, all of them gathered by Zhang Shicheng's side. If you want me to say, I really can't say how much Zhang Shicheng suffered! Even from now, it seems, In the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, he is more stable."

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help taking a deep breath and his face became solemn.

He picked up a few articles by Zhang Ximeng at random, and he had read them dozens of times. With his talent, he would never forget them, but these words were often read and new, and his feelings were different.

What Zhang Ximeng said seems to be deviant, but the development of things continues to prove the wisdom of these contents.

Zhang Ximeng believed that after the Zhao and Song Dynasties, they became increasingly weak and incompetent. The gentry and the Confucianism were the fault. They tamed the common people and tied them to the land for their own exploitation.

And these gentry do not want to make progress. In the face of the Jin people and the Mongolians, they are all retreating, clinging to the weak, and even surrendering to the enemy, and they are the monarch of the Mongolia and the lord of the Central Plains.

Looking at the gentry landlords and wealthy businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou today, they are also willing to gather around Zhang Shicheng. It is clear that the Zhu Family Army is better for the people, but they regard the Zhu Family Army as an enemy.

To put it bluntly, the Zhu family's army occupied the morale of the people, and these people gathered for profit.

"The difference between a gentleman and a villain is clear at a glance!" Gao Qi couldn't help sighing.

Wang Xing pondered a little, but worriedly said: "Brother Qingqiu, you are right, but you are also familiar with the classics, you should know that in the past dynasties, the battle between the gentleman and the villain is often the gentleman loses and the villain wins. According to Judging from the current situation, there are only a few scholars who have passed from Suzhou, but there is a large group of gentry and tyrants gathered around Zhang Shicheng, who want people and money. His strength has greatly increased, I am really afraid of Wu Guogong and Zhang Shicheng. Prime Minister, they are not rivals!"

Gao Qi also sighed softly.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, throughout the history of thousands of years, there are many examples of people who thrive on lofty ideals and lose to despicable human nature.

Zhu Jiajun wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people, but there were too many people and they were too scattered and closed.

The power of every common person is too weak.

Therefore, it is necessary to go deep into the local area and communicate with the people earnestly, in order to gain their support and understanding, and then have enough wisdom to organize the strength of all the people to form an unparalleled general trend.

And all of this takes time and hard work.

In the end it will come to pass.

But compared to the common people, the gentry, the officials, and the rich and powerful, they were natural allies.

Let's take Han Xiuniang's case as an example, in order to prevent women from going out of the house and maintain Gangchang... From bottom to top, everyone did not directly participate, but everyone knew how to drag their feet and how to stir up the yellow. The cooperation is intimate and perfect, and everyone knows where they should stand.

Zhang Ximeng simply acted fast enough to cooperate directly with Li Shanchang, otherwise this matter would most likely fail.

Therefore, it is a very helpless fact, purely from the perspective of the increase in strength, it is really Zhang Shicheng who has taken advantage of it.

What did Zhu Jiajun get?

Just a group of young scholars who are not sure if they can use it!

You must know that a scholar's rebellion will not succeed in three years!

Maybe Zhu Jiajun will lose to Zhang Shicheng...

"Brother Qingqiu, you say, are we right or wrong?"

"Of course it's right! It must be right!" Gao Qi looked solemn and clenched his fists subconsciously, "If we're wrong, doesn't it mean that since Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Central Plains have fallen, and the Yanhuang Miao descendants have been reduced to livestock. Is that right? Is it self-inflicted?"

Wang Xing shook his body, but said helplessly: "Brother Qingqiu, that's the truth, but I'm still worried about the Zhu Family Army. If they can't hold on, I'm afraid..."

"I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!" Gao Qi suddenly turned his head, hurriedly took out a notice, which was just delivered, and he regarded it as a treasure.

"Look! This is Wu Guogong's latest Juntian order."

Wang Xing took it over, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "This, this seems to be cleaner than before?"

"Well, I thought the strategy this time could be used even if it were spread all over the world." Gao Qi sighed.

Wang Xing pondered: "That's true, but it's just that the land is divided thoroughly and the acreage is evenly distributed, and there is a limit on the burden of the people, and enough food for the big guy... I'm afraid it's not easy to implement, from Wang Mang to Wang Anshi, who will? Did you do it?"

Gao Qi nodded, "You're right, but I think Zhu Jiajun can do it!"

"Why?" Wang Xing asked in surprise.

"Because the Zhu Family Army has already dispatched people, and because scholars from Suzhou and other places are doing this!"

"really?"

"Yes! Tang Su, he is in the village now, following the soldiers of the Zhu Family Army to clear the land... He also mentioned one thing, because after Changxing Juntian, many water thieves who have been doing bad things in Dongting Lake all the year round, even secretly Returning to the village, I want to be a farmer and live a safe and secure life!"

"what?"

Wang Xing was shocked, didn't he?

Taihu Lake water thieves have existed many years ago. Not to mention, it can be traced back at least to the period of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty... After the change of dynasties, regardless of the changes outside, on Taihu Lake, water thieves have always been at ease.

The same examples are Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Liangshan Po... As long as the lake water is still there, it can avoid government control, and it will continue to attract people to participate in it.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

Just a water pirate who kills without blinking an eye, how can it compare to the government!

But there is a group of people who can lure water thieves back to their homes and are willing to be farmers.

When you think about it, it's appalling.

Because this matter is not as simple as putting down the knife, leading a field, and being a farmer... If the identity of the water thief is exposed, will something happen?

Back in the countryside, will UU reading www.uukanshu.com be bullied?

There are so many people who want to change their evil ways and become a good person, but I'm sorry, no one believes them, and they are unwilling to accept them.

It's not that I don't want to be a good person, but reality doesn't allow it!

But it seems that this is not true for Zhu Jiajun, because the reason is very simple, even someone like Timur can open a veterinary school, run a horse farm, and live a stable life.

Who can be more guilty of crimes than Tuotuo's younger brother, Dayuan's imperial envoy?

Zhu Jiajun can definitely be trusted.

When Wang Xing heard this, he also showed an excited look.

"People's hearts are kind, the people want governance, and the Zhu family's army is the same inside and outside. I think it will be a big thing, and we can all feel at ease."

The two chatted a few more words, Wang Xing wanted to invite others, and Gao Qi also used his brains to figure out how to continue to coax Zhang Shicheng.

Soon the day of the official banquet came, and Gao Qi deliberately wore new clothes, showing his youthful charm, and came to attend.

Zhang Shicheng's palace is full of friends, distinguished guests, and scholars, such as crucian carp crossing the river, countless.

Zhang Shicheng is also a big consolation, what makes people's hearts in me!

It was just beyond Zhang Shicheng's expectations that there were still people who broke the appointment. Not only did they fail the appointment, but they also returned a letter to Zhang Shicheng with only a few words:

Capricious, ugly jumping beams, he will raise 100,000 troops one day, and take your dog's head!

"Who? Who is so brave?" Zhang Shicheng was furious.

The subordinates were also shocked. Writing this letter, it was Mr. Yu who sent Zhang Shicheng a face, and he has a son, Yu Yaochen!
