Chapter 136 Who are you?(1/2)
I watched the show in Qingchun Garden and sent the old lady back to the mansion. Ye Zhao originally wanted to take Hua Ji to the Xiaohongshan Palace, but who knew that when he returned to the mansion, he heard that someone was visiting the fifth wife.
The fifth lady is Hua Ji, and Ye Zhao was a little surprised. Does Hua Ji have any friends outside?
After reading the post, Ye Zhao couldn't help but scratch his head. An old acquaintance, Guo Ziqiang, was watching movies. He is now a teacher at Jinling Women's Normal School. He has also come to Nanjing to make a living.
Although he had a teacher-student relationship with Rong'er, Guo Ziqiang had never known Rong'er's true identity. Instead, Jin Feng asked Hua Ji for tutoring. Guo Ziqiang had a substitute for a few days, but it was not long before Hua Ji came to Jinling with the royal family troops.
Guo Ziqiang came to see Hua Ji?
Hua Ji respected the teachers who taught her, but when Ye Zhao asked her if she wanted to see Guo Ziqiang, she had no idea and just said timidly: "I don't know."
Ye Zhao had no choice but to take the initiative for her and said, "Then let's meet." Ye Zhao really hoped that Hua Ji would have friends.
Ye Zhao and Hua Ji then went to the princess to meet the family’s Reunion Pavilion commonly known as the Reunion Pavilion.
The beautiful attic is adjacent to Ping'an Gate, with blue bricks and green tiles, red painted doors and windows, and surrounded by corridors surrounded by colorful murals. Various strange beasts and flowers are lifelike, a strange beauty full of power.
Ye Zhao and Hua Ji entered the warm pavilion. Guo Ziqiang had arrived long ago. Guo Ziqiang was really shocked when he heard that the prince would come to see her. If it weren't for something extremely difficult, she wouldn't have thought of a fate with the princess of the princess. Logically speaking, it was too abrupt, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for the princess to see him. In fact, she didn't have much hope, but she was just a mentality of killing her. But she didn't expect that not only did the princess summon her, but the female guard who led her into the pavilion to wait said that the prince would also come to see her. Guo Ziqiang was really at a loss.
Although she is the backbone of the Guangzhou Women's Association, she organized women to go to the streets to promote equality between men and women, and also helped her sisters stand up and sued the Huizhou prefect who wanted to sell her concubine. She said that she is really a sensational figure in Guangzhou.
But the Regent? Guo Ziqiang suddenly became weak. What are the equality of men and women, and everyone is equal? These beliefs in front of the Regent seem so unreal.
Before entering Ping'an Gate, Guo Ziqiang dressed up for a while. Seeing that his dress was not neat and his hairstyle was messy, he also wiped away the dust from his cloth shoes with a tissue.
Sitting in this warm pavilion with anxiety, uneasy all the way. Only then did she realize that her courage was not as great as she imagined. When she heard footsteps outside the door, someone shouted: "Your Highness Qian is here! Princess Wan'anyuan is here!"
Guo Ziqiang hurriedly stood up and knelt down, saying, "Minister Guo Ziqiang will pay tribute to the prince, princess!"
"Get up." The gentle voice seemed to have heard it somewhere. Guo Ziqiang had no time to think about it and said, "Prince Xie, Prince Xie." He slowly got up.
"Sit, sit down." Ye Zhao and Hua Ji sat on both sides of the kang table, and a maid brought fragrant tea and refreshments.
"Men's girls dare not." Guo Ziqiang lowered his head, and was discouraged to find that he had no courage to secretly see the Regent.
Ye Zhao smiled: "Guo Ziqiang, they are all old acquaintances, just sit down, otherwise Sisi will find out in the future and will blame me."
Guo Ziqiang was stunned and slowly looked up. He looked familiar, but he didn't dare to look at him anymore. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Sisi? Is it Zhu Sisi?
I heard that she got married, but I didn’t know the details. My family moved out of Guangzhou and I never saw her again.
The prince knows Sisi?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Guo Ziqiang's mind, he looked up in surprise and looked at Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, it's me." He said, "Rong'er is busy with schoolwork, I'll thank you for your teacher on her behalf."
Guo Ziqiang's mind was muddy. The pervert who was gritting his teeth and hated was the regent? Isn't Rong'er the little concubine? But I heard that the prince loved the concubine very much and sent her to school. But he originally only thought it was legendary, but he just thought it was the smoke released by the court to encourage the new school, but it turned out to be true.
Ye Zhao said again: "Si Si, although she has never written a letter to you, she is also worried about you. She often asks about your situation in Guangzhou and Jinling."
As he spoke, Ye Zhao smiled. Sisi was still too strong, but so, a girl who wanted to be strong wanted to have a good relationship and marry someone she liked. Maybe she was an idol-level figure that everyone praised in the Women's Association. Who knew that she married someone as a concubine and became a sixth concubine. I feel embarrassed to talk to old friends such as Guo Ziqiang of the Women's Association, and even more embarrassed to see them again, so as not to be embarrassed.
Guo Ziqiang was stunned and said, "I heard that she is married..."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, don't you just marry me?"
Guo Ziqiang was dumbfounded. Every time he mentioned Ye Zhao, Sisi was so angry that he hated them. When did these two meet? With Sisi's temper, even if the other party was the Regent, if he forced him, he would rather die than surrender.
"Sit down." Ye Zhao smiled and made a gesture.
Guo Ziqiang sat down blankly, and in the short moment, how could she have digested it?
Ye Zhao said again: "Si Si's matters are kept secret. She still has to do things outside, and Rong'er. I also hope she can study smoothly."
"Yes, the girl understands." Guo Ziqiang stayed for a while. The fact that today was a big accident, making her not know where to start.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You came to see Hua Ji, but what's wrong?"
Guo Ziqiang woke up as if he was dreaming and said, "Yes, yes, I originally wanted to ask the princess to be the master of the people." Although the Regent was an old acquaintance, Guo Ziqiang knew more and more that those who were in high positions would not really regard you as a friend just because they had a few encounters with you. They should speak more carefully and not touch the Regent's taboos.
Ye Zhao ate tea and signaled Guo Ziqiang to drink tea, saying, "What's the matter? Tell me what."
Guo Ziqiang said: "The young woman wrote a letter."
The maid next to him hurriedly took it and presented it to Ye Zhao.
The handwriting is beautiful, and it is obvious that it is Guo Ziqiang's handwriting. Ye Zhao's brows gradually frown when he looks at it. It is a case caused by the feng shui of the cemetery.
Lu Guixiang, a native of Guangzhou, had a field in Qingshiling in the suburbs of the Qingshiling, which was spotted by Guangdong Governor Gao Qin. Because this land was criticized by the prime minister as a lucky tomb for the prosperity of ten generations, it was a lucky place where Huang Niyong and Feilong appeared. Gao Qin wanted to buy the land with Lu Guixiang. Because it was the ancestral property, Lu Guixiang would not sell it. Gao Qin sent people to persuade him but failed. Who knew that half a month ago, Lu Guixiang was suddenly arrested and imprisoned for suspected tax evasion. It is said that in prison, a prison officer told him that as long as the fields on Qingshiling were sold, he would naturally be taught to go home safely, otherwise he would be dealt with.
The Lu family was helpless and remembered the knowledgeable Guo Ziqiang, so they sent a telegram to Guo Ziqiang for help.
Ye Zhao frowned slightly and asked, "Is this true?"
Guo Ziqiang said respectfully: "It is all retelled by the Lu family. The Lu family is humble and kind-hearted and dare not accuse the head of a province."
Ye Zhao said: "This Lu Guixiang?"
Guo Ziqiang's face turned slightly red and he said, "It's the fiancé of a folk girl."
Ye Zhao nodded slightly.
The governor of Guangdong Province is the most worried position that Ye Zhao can serve as governor of Guangdong. Not only Ye Zhao's confidant general, ability, qualifications and thoughts must be very strong, but at least he is the best among the governors of various provinces.
But how could Ye Zhao not sigh if he was so optimistic about such a person who actually did such a thing for the illusory cemetery Feng Shui?
"Okay, I'll stay for dinner tonight. I understand this."
"Thank you, the girl said goodbye, and the girl still needs to prepare lessons in the evening." Guo Ziqiang stood up, knelt down respectfully, but he thought to himself, "You Zhu Sisi, when you see you, let me see how I deal with you."
Think about it, since the prince said he knew about this, I think Guixiang would be released soon. If you want to say that his situation today can be called an adventure, even a novel can't arrange such a bizarre story.
...
The next day, the convening of the public opinion was to issue paper money. Now the paper money has started printing, and the first sample has been sent to Jinling.
Even Ye Zhao was extremely satisfied with his texture. The ink paintings of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are classic and majestic, and even made people feel an illusion of handicrafts, which is a hundred times stronger than printing his own avatar.
Yuan Jiasan, Li Jianchen, Li Hongzhang and others passed on the banknotes and found that they were also a little emotional and excited. Ye Zhao specially published this booklet for officials above the fourth rank. Even Yuan Jiasan knew a little about the ultimate role of the banknotes and now he was aware of it.
The issuance of banknotes and the salary of officials across the country was changed to banknotes from then on. In addition to encouraging banknotes to be circulated among the public, government taxation, official project settlement, etc., they also use banknotes, which is considered a forced effect to a certain extent.
In short, making paper money truly operate in the economic field of the Southern Dynasties was the second most important matter of the current Southern Dynasties' government affairs. The first matter was naturally to coordinate all aspects and cooperate with the Southern Dynasties' officers and soldiers' northern expedition.
"Your Highness, according to the statistics of Weichen, if necessary, the number of transport ships that can be recruited in Guangzhou can reach more than 300 ships, and it is not a problem to carry more than 10,000 soldiers." Li Xiaocun said, flipping through the table.
If you want to land in Zhili, it is completely different from crossing the Yangtze River. You don’t have to requisition so many steam-powered ships, sand boats, scattered boats, and small sailboats can be used, and you can travel back and forth between the two sides very quickly and repeatedly. At that time, nearly 30,000 teams of matchmakers crossed the river, which could almost be said to be achieved overnight.
But if the 10,000 team attacked Zhili and opened up the second battlefield, it would be a big problem to requisition ships, supplies, etc.
Ye Zhao nodded slightly. In the Bohai Bay, the six kings must be on high alert. Anyone will know the strategic significance of a surprise attack on the capital. Therefore, this is just to do the homework. As for whether they will be adopted in the end, it depends on the situation of the battle.
Li Jianchen said: "Your Highness, the Great Lama of Dogala has already left Yunnan. The British are extremely tough on the Sikkim issue. Moreover, according to the news from the Nanzhang Kingdom, the activities of the British in the tribute list are becoming more and more frequent."
Ye Zhao picked up a tea cup to taste tea, it was amazing that it would be surprising if the British did not take the opportunity to provoke trouble in Myanmar.
Zhou Jingshan reported: "The Tibetan Lama who had an incident yesterday has been imprisoned."
Ye Zhao was like the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. He treated the *** Lamas with courtesy and praying for blessings in the mansion, and was often presided over by Tibetan lamas. If it were not for the current Southern Dynasties, I think Ye Zhao would have summoned the living Buddha from the *** to live in Jinling according to the convention. This is not only a religious pacification, but also from a political perspective, which is extremely beneficial to maintaining the central government's rule in the ***.
In fact, Ye Zhao still has a good impression of the real Tibetan living Buddha, and many of them are Taoist monks.
However, whether in Beijing or Jinling, it is obvious that the *** Lama will inevitably bully people because of the royal family's courtesy. Zhou Jingshan said that the lama who was imprisoned was drunk and injured passers-by.
"Well, this lama who didn't know how to practice the Qing Dynasty must be severely punished." Ye Zhao said this, but he was considering how to gradually separate religion and politics. Of course, this is a problem that needs to be dealt with a long time later.
In later generations, because they were considered to be the best country, many things were difficult and they were all restricted, for fear of being a hat to suppress religious beliefs. Nowadays, this kind of constraint is much smaller.
Yuan Jiasan, Li Hongzhang and others also talked about the government affairs they were dealing with. Ye Zhao just listened and did not express his opinions.
Seeing that everyone had to say everything they should have said, and just waiting for the Regent to finish the government affairs meeting, Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart, "Did they really not hear about Gao Zhen's affairs?" Or because Gao Zhen is his favorite general, he dare not say it."
Zhou Jingshan, a person who was so enterprising and strong back then, is now gradually smoothed out. The higher his status, the more worries it is, right?
Of course, he really doesn't know about this. After all, the information is not smooth now. If no one in the Guangdong Censorate reported it, he would not have known about this.
Is there any shadow of Yuan Jiasan and others in this matter? You must know that the people in the Later Party tried every means to stare at the position of governor of Guangdong.
Ye Zhao had a tea and said to Zhou Jingshan: "Someone reported that Guangdong Governor Gao Qin, you took the Supervision Department to set up an investigation team to go to Guangdong to find out the matter." As he said that, he made a gesture, and his clerk presented the letter written by Guo Ziqiang to Zhou Jingshan.
Zhou Jingshan was obviously stunned and said, "I have missed the supervision!"
Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it again." He glanced at Yuan Jiasan's face. Yuan Jiasan's face was dull and there was no clue.
...
In Jianyang Town, you can hear the sound of gunfires at the ferry from afar, but in the town, the female soldiers of Pingyuan Army were painting propaganda posters and writing slogans on the wall in groups of three or three, and some were beating gongs and drums and singing songs to promote Pingyuan Army's policies, "Don't beat people or scold people, we are a team of poor people! Don't take grain, don't rob rice, and real money and silver are traded!" The tune is similar to "The Song of the Guerrillas", which is catchy, and many brave children can hum.
Luo Lihong is already a member of the Arts Propaganda Team of the Fifth Town. At the same time, in the town, there is also the Second Battalion of the Peacock Infantry Regiment, which is responsible for the safety of the Guard Propaganda Team.
Fierce battles have occurred one after another in the past few days, because Xue Shuai of Yangzhou naturally realized that if the Pingyuan Army was completely controlled by the Grand Canal, his Wuwei Army would be completely surrounded by the Pingyuan Army. The robbery of Jianyang Town, which was controlled by the Pingyuan Army, was the key to breaking the ***. Although it was a tentative attack, the Wuwei Army attacked the ferry more and more frequently.
Luo Lihong followed behind a beautiful officer, watching her braids shaking around as she twisted her waist, which was really pleasing to the eye. Luo Lihong couldn't help but think enviously, how great would it be to be so beautiful?
The female officer was the captain of the propaganda team, with the name Little Peacock, and her real name was Kong. However, I heard that she was an orphan, so she later changed her surname.
"Captain, aren't you afraid?" Luo Lihong knew that Captain Kong had no power to tie a chicken, could not shoot, and had never been on the battlefield. He was called a literary soldier in Pingyuan's army, but she danced so beautifully.
"What are you afraid of?" Captain Kong smiled sweetly.
Luo Lihong said: "You are shooting outside. You, you have never been to the battlefield. Are you not afraid of the puppet army coming?" She had just joined the army and spoke frankly. The puppet army was the title she had just learned. Pingyuan Army recognized himself as the official officers and soldiers, and called the Northern Dynasties Army and horses the puppet army.
Captain Kong smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The bandits in the north cannot defeat us. Since our literary and artistic team has a number, they have never had any combat reductions. The Queen Mother sent us to Jianyang Town, so that Jianyang Town is the rear and the bandits cannot kill them."
