please make me king

"Your Highness, look, there is the Jiuqu Bridge in front of you!" Zhang Shun heard the words and looked along the fingers of the patriarch of the Gu clan, only to see a small bridge crossing a clear water.

On the right is a pavilion surrounded by clear water; on the left is a lake with fields of lotus leaves and boats and boats, which appear and disappear from time to time.

Zhang Shun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, misty and rainy, with pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and promenades looming, couldn't help but blurted out: "What a beautiful picture of the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Your Highness is absurd!" The patriarch of the Gu clan smiled and said modestly, "My Gu Garden, although it is called a garden, is actually just a house. , the Canglang Pavilion of Dayun Nunnery, and the East Garden of the Xu family!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was at a loss when he heard the words, he had never heard of "returning to the countryside" or "lion forest".

"Your Highness, these four gardens are all famous gardens in Suzhou!" Seeing that Zhang Shun didn't understand, Qian Qianyi quickly explained in a low voice.

Four gardens in Suzhou?

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he came to his senses.

It’s like when you go to a friend’s house to play and praise the house, but they reply: “It’s so-so, it’s worse than the Forbidden City.”

Where are you leaving Versailles, you!
"The Gu garden of the grass people is only 78 mu in size, but it is far inferior to the [-] mu of Guitianyuan, and the [-] mu of East Garden, which is worse than the fifteen or six mu of Lion Forest and Canglang Pavilion." The head of the Gu family heard the words. He answered with a smile.

Uh. How did I remember that the residential area is generally measured in square meters. Since when did the unit of land be measured in mu?
Zhang Shun raised his eyes and saw that Gu Yuan could not be seen at a glance. For a moment, he really wanted to order his Gu family to be ransacked and exterminated.

If you don't go to the capital, you don't know the officialdom; if you don't go to the south of the Yangtze River, you don't know the wealth of the people.

For some reason, the gentry and wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River like to build gardens the most.

There are tens of acres of large ones and dozens of acres of small ones, ranging from the city of Nanjing to the suburbs of prefectures and counties.

If you talk about it carefully, you don't know how many hectares of cultivated land it occupies.

During the period, hundreds and thousands of slaves were raised, hiding the population and affecting production.

If we let go of Zhang Shun's temper when he first joined the army, he must be ransacked and exterminated.

Of course, this is not because Zhang Shun's temper has changed, nor is it that he himself is "satisfied", but that after he understands the social structure of Jiangnan, he has a new idea.

According to the classic social model designed by Shang Yang and Han Feizi, the world should build a country by farming and fighting, like Confucian scholars who write books and talk, political strategists who use their tongues in vain, rangers who despise life and value righteousness, and businessmen who make money and donate money. They are all social moths.

However, from the point of view of later generations, it is obvious that these people also played their due role in society.

In particular, merchants operating in industry and commerce are the main driving force for society to enter capitalism.

The reason why Zhang Shun is polite to them is not that he has converted to Buddhism and stopped eating meat, but that he has a deeper understanding than people of this era that these groups of Confucian scholars, merchants, and landlords are used to suppress the old landlords. What kind of advantages does class have.

It should be noted that his opponents are not only these bureaucratic gentry, but also the remnants of the previous dynasty, landlords and evil gentry, and stubborn feudal ideology hidden everywhere.

Therefore, for them, Zhang Shun thinks about how to strip their landlord status and correct their development path.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help smiling, and praised: "Good, what a garden!"

"I don't know what's good, please enlighten me, Your Highness?" At this moment, Gu Tinglin looked at the deserted garden and couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"Tinglin, I'm talking to His Highness, how can you intervene!" The patriarch of the Gu clan couldn't hear the resentment in Gu Tinglin's words, so he hurriedly scolded.

"Hey, young people, it's natural to have arrogance." Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun stopped him with a smile, "If everyone is depressed and stalking dogs, wouldn't it be a great misfortune for the country?"

"This..." The patriarch of the Gu clan and Gu Menglin couldn't be sure of Zhang Shun's intentions for a while, and couldn't help but look at each other for a while.

Zhang Shun saw that the fire was almost ready, so he smiled and said: "At this moment, how can we not make people feel emotional? It just so happens that I have a little experience, why don't I give it to this little brother!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Gu Tinglin pretended not to see the eyes of the patriarch and brother, and thought to see what he had to say.

"Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang, the four major surnames in Jiangdong, work together, Chibi rejects Cao Gong." Zhang Shun smiled slightly and couldn't help but said.

"Another shoe dealer came from the west, and unexpectedly died in Baidi City. All the heroes in the world died, and only then did I know that there was a Huanglong in the world. Huanglong didn't know that the world was big, and it was not as good as Qing to guard the east of the river."

"Poor Yingjie and Yinghao, begging Tian to inquire about the life and death of dreams. Suddenly I heard the golden drum on the river, and the dragon and boat arrived in Jinling!"

After Zhang Shun finished reciting the poem, everyone was dumbfounded on the spot.

One is that they did not expect that "Mudlegs" could write poetry.

The second is that there is too much information in the poem, and they did not understand the voice-over.

The superficial meaning of this poem is very simple. It is to describe the four surnames of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang in Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period. They followed Sun Quan and defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei successively. However, after defeating these two heroes, Sun Quan and his officials had no aggressiveness. Ask for fields and houses.

When the golden drum creaked from the Yangtze River, it turned out that General Longxiang Wang Jun led the boats down the river to destroy Soochow.

"This is a poem of compromise!" Gu Tinglin judged first, "King Shun defeated Houjin and Ming Dynasty successively, and his power was so prosperous, just like Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei successively."

"Then Sun Quan could tolerate Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang and the four big families begging for land and homes, so naturally he can accommodate my current Jiangdong clan!"

"No, no, this is probably a threatening word!" Gu Menglin looked at the crowd who had passed the Jiuqu Bridge, and objected, "If you explain it like a brother, there should be no last two sentences."

"Since His Highness added the last two sentences, it must be comparing Daming to Soochow. It means that Daming's power will soon perish. Our Gu family must stand in line in time, and don't make a mistake!"

"What are you two doing?" Just as Gu Menglin and Gu Tinglin were arguing, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.

"Why are you here?" Gu Menglin and Gu Tinglin were startled when they heard the words, they couldn't help turning their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a man smiling like a flower looking at them.

The two of them took a closer look, only to see that the man was slender and slender, with two pendants hanging from his earlobes, and his heroic brows and eyes were charming.

It turned out that the man was not a man, but a woman dressed in men's clothes.

"Oh, I heard that 'Shun Thief' is the most lewd, if you are bumped into by him, it's okay?" Then Gu Tinglin saw it, and quickly reminded.

"What kind of thief, so rude, could it be that you can't be a robber?" Unexpectedly, the woman was not only not afraid, but asked unconvinced.

"Oh, my aunt, have you ever heard of the name of King Shun? You are so confident!" Gu Tinglin couldn't help but persuaded.

"What, it's him?" The woman turned pale with fright, and turned around quickly to leave.

"Why are you scaring her?" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Menglin suddenly said, "Xianmei is dressed in men's clothes, and she can almost confuse the real one. How can His Highness King Shun know?"

"By the way, Sister Xian happens to have something else to ask you about Brother Yu, I never thought you just came!"

"What's the matter?" The woman just remembered that this "Shun thief" only likes women, not men, so as long as she doesn't make a sound, it must be fine.

"It's like this." Upon hearing this, Gu Menglin quickly told her in detail the poems written by Zhang Shun just now.

"Oh, what are you talking about!" The woman frowned when she heard the words, and smiled, "Maybe there are compromises, maybe there are threats, I think it may be more to blame my Gu family for only knowing how to ask for fields and houses, and to be trapped in Jiangdong. , refused to look at the meaning of the world!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help commenting: "I didn't expect that this 'Shun thief' came from a reckless background, so he has such arrogance."

"Even my dignified Gu family from Wu County is petty in his eyes!"
