I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 Shijie is really worth investing in
Chapter 123

"Pull into the grove, you woman, don't..."

"Marshal, let's hear what this woman has to say, and it's not too late to make a conclusion!"

Chen Zilong spoke up.

Cheng Shijie naturally "give" him face: "What happened next?"

"When the three entered the grove, they couldn't wait to tear off the clothes of the women..."

Yang Hua choked with sobs, telling the truth of the incident in detail.Yang Hua's eloquence is excellent. Under her narration, everyone present seemed to have listened to a vivid erotic performance.

Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Hua, at this time Yang Hua's eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Your words are unfounded, do you have evidence?"

Yang Hua shook her head: "No!"

"Since there is no evidence, this commander also..."

Before Cheng Shijie could finish his sentence, Chen Zilong immediately took up the conversation: "You said those three people tore your clothes, but what about the clothes?"

Yang Hua subconsciously clutched her clothes.

Chen Zilong took a closer look and found that Yang Hua's clothes were already densely packed with stitches, restoring the tattered parts to their original shape.

Chen Zilong said: "Your clothes and the scars on your body are the evidence!"

Yang Hua was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Chen Zilong gave Fourth Miss Xu a wink to Martina, who understood and brought Yang Hua to the carriage with his mother-in-law.

After a short time, the woman reported to Mardina: "According to the servant girl's inspection, Yang's body is indeed bruised in many places, and..."

Chen Zilong said: "Cheng Shuai, there is no government office in southern Liaoning yet, but the commander-in-chief is the highest official in southern Liaoning, so he should accept this case!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Hua and said, "Who are those three people you mentioned? Whose name are they?"

Yang Hua shook her head and said, "I don't know!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "This is not easy!"

Yang Hua said angrily: "But there is one person, even if he is turned into ashes, I will recognize him!"

Yang Hua is a smart person, she actually knows it very well.Risks often breed opportunities.The greater the risk, the more opportunities, and the richer the reward.

From the moment she agreed to Yang Yuniang, she was not only relieved, but also suddenly enlightened.Forced by her life, she had to lean against the door to show off her laughter, but as her son got older, the rumors became more and more intense. Because of his mother who had half-closed the door, it was difficult for her son to raise his head and be a man for the rest of his life.

She decided to withdraw, and also decided to be good.But no matter what you do, the stains of the past cannot be washed away.

However, there is such a good opportunity right now. If she seizes it, not only will she wash away the stains of the past, but it will also be of great help to her son's life.

It's done, and she's done a lot.

Even if things fail, Cheng Shijie has the bottom line, and she has nothing to lose.

Cheng Shijie said, "Ma Shilin!"

"I am humble!"

"You go and investigate how many people have left Jinzhou City since three days ago until now, but if you can't prove the time of the incident three days ago, where you are, and what you did, all of them will be collected and let Yang recognizes someone!"

Only now did Cheng Shijie know how big the flow of people in Jinzhou is today. The number of people who leave the city every day is between 1 and 9000, and the number of people entering the city is about the same as the number of people leaving the city, at 5000. to 2 people.

In other words, the daily flow of people in Jinzhou City is around 4 to [-] people.

However, because there were no witnesses at the time of the incident to prove what they did, under the screening of a probability, in fact, less than 2000 people had no witnesses.

These 2000 people were identified one by one by Yang Hua.

Chen Zilong was very indignant at this time, and the rich men also subconsciously believed that these three thieves should be Ning Haijun's people.

Chen Zilong said: "Cheng Shuai, in order to show fairness, all the soldiers under the commander's command should also be pulled out. Let Yang recognize them."

"That's fine too!"

Excluding the soldiers who were not out of the camp in the Ning Navy, plus the military personnel who were on duty, there were less than 800 people who were allowed to be out of the camp.

It takes a long time to recognize people. One person has to recognize more than [-] people, and it is not easy to finish the recognition, especially the soldiers of Ning Haijun, who have the same military uniform and the same temperament. It is not easy to recognize a person. easy.

The impact of the incident of "Ning Navy soldiers beating a scholar" and "a woman being pulled into a grove" is still continuing to ferment.The influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the "Liaonan Weekly" even issued a reward announcement in the newspaper to find witnesses.

……

In April, the resettlement camps in southern Liaoning have been changed from shotguns to cannons. This place is no longer a nest, but a row of red brick and red tile houses.

"Name!"

"Yang Qingyun!"

"Profession!"

"Doctor!"

After the staff heard the word "Langzhong", they immediately looked up at Yang Qingyun.Yang Qingyun is more than 30 years old, with a calm attitude, gentle and elegant, gentle temperament, and a "moderate" temperament.

"How many people are there in the family?"

Yang Qingyun bowed and said, "Nine people!"

"Come here, arrange the NO.15 resettlement area."

The staff didn't say much. Yang Qingyun followed the staff all the way to a No.15 courtyard. This is a room very similar to the Central Plains Poor House. There are five houses in a row, four of which are bedrooms. It is divided into two rooms for men and women. When entering the room, there are three beds, three small tables, and a row of cabinets.

If you insist on the layout of this room, it is a bit like a hospital ward in later generations.

They lived in the resettlement site for three days, and people came to observe Yang Qingyun's family every day. Until the fourth day, they were arranged in a four-wheeled carriage and started to go to Jinzhou City, where they directly entered the Ning Naval Field Hospital to work.

The four-wheeled passenger carriage has a standard capacity of 12 people. Of course, with twelve adult men, it will be somewhat crowded. Yang Qingyun's family of nine people is a bit empty.

Yang Qingyun's wife said worriedly: "Father, where are they taking us?"

"At this point, you can go anywhere!"

Yang Qingyun's father is Yang Qinian, the imperial physician in the capital. Emperor Tianqi fell into the water in the seventh year of Tianqi, and then fell ill. The imperial physician diagnosed him many times, but the treatment was ineffective.On August 22, the seventh year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi died. As one of the imperial physicians who treated Emperor Tianqi, Yang Qinian was beheaded.

Yang Qingyun's family fled the capital in a hurry. They originally planned to return to their hometown of Nanjing, but they never thought that they would be denounced before they stabilized in Nanjing.

Therefore, Yang Qingyun had no choice but to flee to Suizhou together and join his brother-in-law.Fortunately, Yang Qingyun's brother-in-law is a kind person. With his help, Yang Qingyun resumed his old business in Guidefu City, hanging pots for consultation.If there is no accident, relying on the medical skills Yang Qingyun has learned from his father for more than 20 years, it is no problem for the Yang family to rise again.

It's a pity that God's wishes failed. Last winter, one of Yang Qingyun's patients died of illness, which brought great disaster to Yang Qingyun's family.

Hou Shu (the third younger brother of Hou Xun) of the Hou family in Guidefu City took the medicine of tiger and wolf at that time, and the dose was too heavy, so Yang Qingyun was asked to diagnose and treat him.This was not considered to be Yang Qingyun's inexperienced medical skills, but after Hou Shu died, the Hou family would not let it go.

At that time, the Hou family, one family and three Jinshi, had the same momentum in Guide Mansion. In desperation, they just established Qi's Yang's pharmacy and Yang Qingyun's brother-in-law's family. They sold their properties. I heard that Cheng Shijie was recruiting in southern Liaoning. Refugees, they used their last money to buy a boat ticket and came to southern Liaoning.

Yang Qingyun, who was sitting in the carriage, listened to the driver chatting with the driver of another four-wheeled carriage that was parallel to him.

Through their chats, I learned that apart from two major cases in southern Liaonan recently, it was actually just one case.

First, the soldiers of Ning Haijun beat up the three scholars, and they were surrounded by all the scholars. promising.It turned out that at that time, the three scholars Jiang Shizhong, Su Xian, and Gu Wenming were attracted by their attractiveness, and they were strong women who became the women of the people.

Liu Qingsong was so angry that he beat Jiang Shizhong, Su Xian and Gu Wenming.

At this time, Yang Qingyun discovered that there was a newspaper in the cloth bag of the carriage, and the headline on the front page unexpectedly printed "Cheng Shijie, Commander of the Ning Navy, to all the people". In fact, this was a public letter of apology.

In this public letter of apology, Cheng Shijie wrote: "...the reason why they generously go to the disaster in times of crisis and don't care about their future is that they believe that there is a high wall of protection behind them and the strength to rely on. If this behavior is let down or even deceived , that would be a disgrace to the whole society, and would chill everyone's hearts. In case there is a next time, who would be willing to act bravely? Those who hold salaries for everyone are most afraid of freezing to death in the snow. We never lack mortals who stand up , There is no shortage of warriors who will never turn back, but they just lack the respect and feedback they deserve. The brave should not be teased, and the good should not be bullied. Heroes must not be shed blood and tears!"

"The brave should not be fooled, and the kind should not be bullied!"

Yang Qingyun exclaimed: "You are so right!"

Yang Qingyun was originally a doctor who rescued the dying and healed the wounded, but the problem was that it was obviously not his problem, but he caused his family to be ruined. His father had left a secret letter saying that Emperor Tianqi had been poisoned by lead.

As for who poisoned it?

Yang Qinian didn't know either, but he was silenced.

What happened to his father was his turn again.It is the most basic common sense that the medicine is three points poisonous and spicy. Don't talk nonsense, and don't take medicine indiscriminately.

Hou Shu took an excessive amount of the medicine of tiger and wolf for a short time, and he was not able to make up for it, so he made himself alive. What does it have to do with him?
……

In front of the yamen of the General Military Mansion, there were already huge crowds of people at this time. Cheng Shijie formally merged the case of "Ning Navy soldiers beating a scholar" and "a civilian woman was dragged into a grove" and opened the trial.

At this time, tens of thousands of people in Jinzhou City crowded the Gulou Street in front of the General Military Mansion, and hundreds of urban management officers were dispatched to maintain order on the street.

"Marshal, the students have been wronged!"

Jiang Shizhong yelled at himself, which angered Liu Qingsong, and a fight broke out between the two sides. The three of them were beaten up, which was tolerable, but the problem was that they were thrown into the septic tank, and their gall almost came out.

Jiang Shizhong glared at Yang Hua: "Poison woman, Jiang has no grudges with you in the past and has no grudges in the present, why do you want to slander Jiang!"

Yang Hua's acting skills are online, she choked up and said: "The women and the others have never met each other. They have no grudges in the past and have no enmity in the present. Why do you want to slander you?"

Everyone also pondered this way, Yang Hua was right, why did Wu Qiu slander them?

"The housewife... was spoiled by animals... The housewife has lost her virginity now... I wanted to die to keep the chastity, but the second son in the family is still young!"

Yang Hua knelt down to the people present and said: "... I beg the kind-hearted people present to help the women adopt the second son in the family. The women will bless the kind-hearted people in the sky..."

Having said that, Yang Hua slammed into the horse post in front of the General Military Mansion.

"do not want!"

"Stop her!"

Wu Sheng beside Cheng Shijie immediately made a move and reached out to grab Yang Hua's clothes.

"Thorn..."

Half of Yang's clothes were torn apart by the huge force, her head hit the horse post solidly, blood flowed from her head, after being pulled by Wu Sheng, most of the impact force was reduced, Yang's eyes closed, unconscious.

Seeing this scene, the current Liaonan army and people are angry.

"Marshal, please kill this flower criminal!"

"Marshal, please kill this beast!"

"Master..."

Cheng Shijie saw this and knew that the result was not important anymore.He waved his hand and said, "This commander...First of all, I have to apologize to the officers and men of the Ning Navy who have suffered wrongs. This commander should not have doubted Liu Qingsong, and should not have listened to rumors. This commander should apologize to Liu Qingsong!"

Cheng Shijie bowed to Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Shijie in return.

Because Liu Qingsong knew the truth.

"Although I have no right to dispose of famous scholars, Jiang Shizhong, Su Xian, and Gu Wenming are far away from their origins. I don't know if these three have personal relationships with Tixue!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Your Majesty has given me the right to act cheaply in front of the battle, and given Cheng a Shangfang sword, which can behead the court officials below the fourth rank. Jiang Shizhong, Su Xian, and Gu Wenming are unforgivable crimes. Please Shangfang sword, beheaded!"

"Students are wronged!"

"Master, please forgive me!"

"Students wronged..."

Cheng Shijie picked up Shangfang's sword and walked towards Jiang Shizhong, Su Xian, and Gu Wenming. The sword light flashed, and a head fell to the ground.

Cheng Shijie followed up with another sword strike, and after the three sword strikes, three heads were neatly placed on the case.

"The handsome and wise!"

"The handsome is mighty!"

"Wonderful wins!"

"The Marshal Lord Wandai!"

The matter finally came to an end, and the rich men also spurned the three heads and expressed that they were ashamed to be with them.

Among the crowd, the personable Fang Yizhi looked at Chen Zilong: "Brother among people!"

"Brother Mi!"

Fang Yizhi lowered his voice and said, "Why did you stop Fang, you clearly know..."

Chen Zilong smiled wryly and said: "Your reason is just speculation. You say that Su Xian is an eunuch, inhumane. What evidence do you have? Su Xian has a wife at home, and his wife has a son!"

"That son belongs to his younger brother, he's just in foster care, he's just trying to cover up people's eyes and ears, it's absolutely impossible..."

"You do not understand!"

At this moment, Chen Zilong understood that Cheng Shijie was protecting his subordinates, and there might be a deeper conspiracy behind this matter.

This is actually not important. Cheng Shijie gave him a city, 200 military households, and more than 3 million mu of land to use as an experimental base for improved seeds, and allocated [-] taels of silver every year to fund the Agricultural Research Institute.

These things are really important to the West Fa Party.

The ass determines the head, and the head determines the thinking, where he stands, and what kind of thinking he makes.

Chen Zilong is not a pedantic person, he is a pragmatic person, not to mention that he does not have a deep relationship with Jiang Shizhong and the other three, even if they are close relatives, before the interests, the first thing to consider is always the interests.

Although Chen Zilong is the most prestigious up-and-comer of the Donglin Party, he is almost the head of several clubs, his perspective on issues and Fang Yizhi can never be on the same track.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Cheng Shijie returned to the General Military Mansion contentedly.

Finally got this problem solved.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is natural to protect his soldiers. If he does not protect his soldiers, it is inevitable that there will be complaints, especially in the case of Ning Haijun.

In later generations, the news media in many countries are calling for attention to human rights, including the human rights of criminal suspects, and to limit the excessive use of violence by government law enforcement officers to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with this idea, and it can even be said to be quite correct, but under the promotion of certain political groups and social figures, the police in these countries dare not even use their normal law enforcement powers.

The result is that the criminals who should have been stopped could not be stopped in time, the casualties of police officers and innocent people skyrocketed, and the social order deteriorated extremely.

The current Ning Haijun group is actually a very sensitive and fragile group. Although Cheng Shijie has used the experience of later generations to set up a lot of insurance, but because of the basic quality of personnel, it is not actually safe.

Just like the current incident, if Cheng Shijie used the justice of the law to please those privileged classes above him, the officers and men of the Ning Navy would no longer be able to straighten their waists when facing these privileged classes.

Although some small means were used, there was no other way. If Cheng Shijie was not afraid of scaring away these scholars, Cheng Shijie would dare to be unreasonable and let them see what it means to be a scholar who meets a soldier.

"Big guy!"

When Cheng Shijie just sat down, the guards reported to him: "Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi asks to see you!"

"what?"

Cheng Shijie's head is as big as a bucket, what good can these two big gods come over?
However, he couldn't avoid it forever.

"Let them wait in the front hall, I'll take a shower, and then I'll come!"

After half an hour, Cheng Shijie took a shower and met Chen Dalong and Fang Yizhi in the front hall.Looking at a huge box at Chen Zilong's feet.

Cheng Shijie thought that Chen Zilong had come to give gifts.

"Meet Cheng Shuai!"

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Fang, please sit down!"

Chen Zilong pointed to the big box at his feet and said, "Cheng Shuai is busy with military affairs, so Chen will make a long story short. This is all the brainchild of his teacher. He has devoted his life to Western research and has written a lot of books. However, people in the country don't pay much attention to Western learning, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend. , He was very happy to hear that the Marshal was studying western culture in southern Liaoning, and he applied what he learned with fruitful results, so he handed over some of the manuscripts he had written in his early years to his subordinates to see if the Marshal could use them.”

It wasn't that Cheng Shijie was arrogant. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were very few people who could make Cheng Shijie look up to. Sun Yuanhua could only hehe... Sun Yuanhua was too bookish, a bit like a college student who had just graduated.

One is Sun Chengzong and the other is Xu Guangqi.The former was a rare great strategist at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who was proud and upright, while the latter was one of the few scientists in the late Ming Dynasty. Everyone has profound attainments and is decent. Such a person naturally deserves his respect.

Cheng Shijie owns a printing factory, and because of Sun Yuanhua's contribution, he has a lot of general-purpose machinery and equipment. Sun Yuanhua's achievements in Dengzhou for more than two years have directly made Cheng Shijie.

Although Cheng Shijie has not been in southern Liaoning for a long time, the foundation was laid by Sun Yuanhua, and a large number of hydraulic machinery can be used because of the melting of ice and snow.Just like the ball mill in a cement factory, the principle is actually the same as that of animal-powered machinery.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua built a simplified and elementary version of the industrial empire in the name of casting cannons. This industrial empire is like the five small industries of later generations. It is not large in scale, but its categories are quite complete. .

There is a complete set of mining equipment, smelting equipment, and purification equipment, as well as a large number of skilled craftsmen, and even the skills of these craftsmen can crush the capital.

It is said that it is Xu Guangqi's manuscript, and Cheng Shijie's eyes can shine. If it is placed in later generations, any one can be sold for more than hundreds of thousands. boundary.

Chen Zilong opened the huge box with his own hands, and picked it up one by one.

Cheng Shijie took a look and saw that there were densely packed small characters on it, each of which was neat and beautiful, almost like print, without smearing, and the font size was the same. He flipped through more than a dozen pages in a row, and every word was like this. Can't help feeling: "Master Xu really vomited all his blood."

Chen Zilong brought Xu Guangqi's manuscript to Cheng Shijie because he really didn't have the money to spend a lot of money on printing and agricultural research. Chen Zilong's family background and Xu Guangqi's family background were both well-to-do.

But the problem is that for academic research, personal wealth is really not enough. Of course, if Xu Guangqi is an official, it is actually easy to get money.

However, Xu Guangqi was one of the few honest officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Shijie naturally knew that Chen Zilong borrowed his chicken to lay eggs.To put it in a bad way, this is taking him for a fool, but the problem is, Cheng Shijie is really willing to be this fool.

Publishing a book is probably the dream of every scholar. If you can publish a best-selling book, you will make a lot of money. Even if it is the lowest royalty, a book can earn tens of thousands of dollars.

But this was not the case 300 years ago. The cost of publishing a book was borne by the author. The more books were sold, the more money had to be paid. a lot.

So publishing a book these days is a hard job. Except for the rich and powerful, eager to be famous, or want to praise some high-ranking person, ordinary people do not have such financial resources to publish a book.

Xu Guangqi cooperated with the Western missionary Matteo Ricci to translate the first six volumes of "The Elements of Geometry". After repeated scrutiny, he has the first copyright for the word "geometry".

However, this masterpiece was not popular in the Ming Dynasty. Since the demise of the Song Dynasty, China’s scientific research has been in a steady decline. The once brilliant astronomy, mathematics, chemistry and other disciplines that were beyond the reach of the world have gradually been forgotten. , Countless works that condensed the wisdom of the ancients have been abandoned, and this is true of our own things, let alone Western ones!
Xu Guangqi can only look to the future, hoping that "this brilliant work of mathematics will become a must-read book for all students in the next 100 years." But history is more sad than he expected. After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese civilization Continue to drive on the backward road, roaring towards the abyss.

Cheng Shijie took the manuscript and went directly to the printing factory.

Yang Yunniang looked at Cheng Shijie's back, and smiled wryly at the old, young, and a woman beside her: "Cheng Shuai is like this, everything he does is swift and resolute!"

The old man in the lead smiled lightly and said: "The little old man has nothing to do, and wrote some things, why don't you pass them on to Cheng Shuai to have a look first!"

Yang Yunniang said: "Mr. Zheng is also welcome!"

This little old man is called Zheng Jian. He is actually only 45 years old, but he looks a little anxious.He was originally from the Zheng family in Henan. If placed in the Tang Dynasty, he would belong to the Zheng family, one of the five clans.

It's just a pity that although Mrs. Zheng is here, it's already a day gone by.

Zheng Jian started as a waiter at the bank at the age of 12 and worked in the bank for 33 years, accumulating rich experience in bank operation and management.

Their Zheng family also ran a bank, but the problem is that the owner of the family has a son who is useless, and a bank with a principal of 10,000+ taels of silver has been tossed out in just five years.Moreover, Zheng Jian was blamed. In desperation, he had no choice but to take his son Zheng Ji and daughter Zheng Qi to Shandong to seek a living.

But the problem is that the current employment situation is not like that of later generations. Generally speaking, banks train their own waiters, clerks, and shopkeepers. Professionals like them are generally not employed by banks. No matter how much they pay, the effect is the same. Same.

There are too many places where the bank can play tricks, and no one dares to use it without knowing the basics.

Fortunately, Zheng Jian was lucky, because he took the wrong boat, he came to southern Liaoning by accident, and met Yang Yunniang by accident.

As a professional, Zheng Jian could tell at a glance that Cheng Shijie's banking management philosophy was far more advanced than that of the bank, but there were still many loopholes and problems in this mechanism.

If you can solve these problems by yourself, wouldn't it solve the problem of eating for the whole family, and you can still hug a thick thigh?

Cheng Shijie arrived at Ning Haijun's printing factory and immediately summoned the craftsmen of the printing factory.

"Meet the Master!"

Cheng Shijie directly ordered: "Other printing work, except for "Liaonan Weekly", should stop first, use the best paper, use the best ink, regardless of the cost, and print one thousand... not ten thousand copies per volume! "

Chen Zilong was dumbfounded. His original plan was to get [-] volumes from Cheng Shijie, or [-] volumes. Unexpectedly, Cheng Shijie waved his hand and got [-] volumes, and each volume.

Chen Zilong breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Guangqi was really good at seeing people, and Cheng Shijie was indeed worthy of investment.

PS: Please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, it is written on it, but I forgot to check the time.
