Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 314

This adult gave them high-yield seeds, exempted small farmers from taxes and chores, worked for the proletarians, repelled the Tartars, built bridges and paved roads for them, and let their children go to school for free...

In just three years, Wujin has become a paradise on earth.

But now the person who created all this is leaving, and many people couldn't help crying.Someone rushed over the yamen servant, ran to Zuo Fu, knelt down in front of Zuo Fu, begged bitterly, "My lord, my lord, don't leave us! We are all willing to go to Qiongzhou with you!"

"My lord, don't leave us behind!"

The people cried and begged, "My lord, don't leave! We learned that you were leaving a few days ago, and we couldn't eat any more! Every family produced a piece of cloth and sewed it together. We all pressed bloody fingerprints on it." , you give this piece of cloth to the old man of the emperor, and beg him to let you stay! You can't go! You can't go!"

A few people pulled the cart over, and there was a roll of cloth on it, which was thick and had a diameter of more than two meters by visual inspection.

Several strong men struggled to remove the cloth, and several squires stepped forward and unfolded the cloth little by little. Names written in blood and bloody handprints were displayed in front of Zuo Fu.

"My lord, I found out that you were leaving half a month ago, and I was very sad. I also heard that Mr. Cui is about to enter Beijing as an official. I couldn't let go of my lord, so I gathered a hundred thousand people and wrote this blood letter, hoping to impress your majesty." , let you stay and be the magistrate in Changzhou."

Zuo Fu stared blankly at the rolled cloth, his eyes became blurred.

The strips of cloth are unfolded little by little, and this cloth is not always white.Changzhou's economy has improved, but fabrics are still precious to the people.This piece of cloth was made by the east family and the west family. Everyone tried their best to sew the white cloth together.

Looking at it like this, you can even see the fine stitches.In the past half month, I don't know how much effort it took to collect signatures and sew the blood book.Many scenes of women sitting under street lamps and sewing blood books all night appeared in Zuo Fu's mind.

On this strip of cloth, there are many crooked words.The literacy class has been held for three years, and many young people will try their best to take time to go to the literacy class.Their handwriting was not good, but they were full of enthusiasm. This enthusiasm deeply moved Zuofu, making her eyes blurred and her heart torn a big hole.

She has never realized how kind a person she is. In the world she lived in, everyone chased after the light of fame, wealth and achievement, and rushed forward desperately. Ideals would be ridiculed, and patience would be regarded as cowardly. In a world where everyone worships success and power, all pure virtues are being trampled and forgotten, and everyone is becoming indifferent and becoming more and more selfish...

In that kind of world, she took her little calculations for granted.It's just selfishness for people not to kill themselves, it's nature, isn't it?
But when the bloody names and bloody handprints appeared in her eyes, her heart was torn.

Coming here to be an official is a kind of compromise.

She is not for the common people, nor for the common people.She is only for her father and mother in this life, and for the Zuo family to run better.

She has no ideals or ambitions, she is just an ordinary girl with her own little plans, and wants to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

After coming here, she saw some poorly clothed people and some hungry people. She thought that she had Taobao, and she could make these people loyal to herself and create a better life for herself with only a small price. With a lot of wealth, you can also get political capital by the way, so that the Zuo family's foundation can be planted a little deeper...

She thought a lot, but she didn't have these people in her heart.It is said that she has a pure heart, but only Zuo Fu knows that everything she does is for herself.

With Taobao, she is like a god, floating in the high clouds overlooking all living beings, and then giving some mercy to make herself happy.

Yes, she was hypocritical and the people were simple, but even a little bit of her hypocrisy made them feel grateful, which made her feel ashamed while being moved.

She trembled her lips and wanted to speak several times, but in the end she didn't say a word, she could only let the hot tears roll down and drip down.

All the people looked at her, and the Wanmin umbrellas were brought up one by one, and the people were still begging and crying.

Zuo Fu bent down deeply, bowed to the bottom, and said with trembling lips: "Folks, I'm sorry..."

"My lord! My lord!"

The crowd became commotion again, and some old people cried out of breath, "You, you can't leave! If you leave, we will have a hard life again!"

"Folks, don't worry, Magistrate Qiu won't make you suffer. He also promised me that all government orders will not change. As long as you work hard, your life will be more and more prosperous."

Zuo Fu sniffed his nose, wiped away his tears, and said: "The imperial court is going to open the sea, those red-haired Xiyi are very fond of my Daming silk, porcelain, and tea. I am very good at weaving in Changzhou, and the tea is good. You should work hard Live, I will send a big ship to buy your goods at that time, so that your life will become better and better!"

Disappointment rose in the eyes of the people.

They also know that once the appointment of the imperial court is made, the adults will leave.It's just that they are not reconciled and want to try this way to see if they can make adults not leave.After all, if the adults are gone, and another person will come, only God knows if they can love them like this!

Zuo Fu couldn't bear to see the disappointment of the people anymore, and after making people carry the Wanmin umbrella and the blood book onto the boat, she bent down again to salute, and then said: "Folks, take care, I'm leaving..."

She jumped onto the boat almost as if fleeing, and then watched the boat start, and looked at the people who were sent along the canal, her eyes were blurred again.

Is this life worth it?It's worth dying even now...

At this moment, such a thought could not help appearing in her mind.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be loved by the people...

She reached out to wipe her tears, and then wiped them again, but the tears kept falling, and she couldn't wipe them dry.

The boat is driving, and the people are walking, following each other along the way.

From morning to night, from night to morning, there are always people joining the team. They bring their own dry food and water, walk along the canal, watch Zuo Fu, and send her to Zhenjiang before stopping, and then they are silent , stood at the same spot, watched Zuo Fu off, and waited for the boat carrying Zuo Fu to disappear before turning back silently.

Zuofu was sitting in the cabin, her eyes were red and swollen. In the past two days, she finally understood why there were so many people in the history books who were weak but dared to fight against the powerful.

Facing such people, you can't help being touched.The softest part of his heart was opened by them. At this moment, Zuo Fu felt that his life, which had been confused for two lifetimes, finally had a direction!

She thought of Hai Rui, she thought of Bao Zheng, she thought of those people who made decisions for the people throughout the ages!

She involuntarily reached out to touch her heart, where it became hot, the heart was beating, and her eyes gradually became firmer.

What is the way of being an official?
Make decisions for the people and make a living for the common people in the world! ! !
This is my way!

Chun Ya looked at Zuo Fu, at this moment, the eldest girl's eyes were red and swollen, but the light reflected inside made her tremble.

She didn't know what it was, but she felt as if something was cracking, and there seemed to be a slight cracking sound in her ears, something she couldn't describe was emanating from the big girl's body, which made her tremble endlessly .

"Big, big girl..."

Chunya stammered a little: "You, what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Fu looked at her, was silent for a while, and said: "Chunya, those Wanmin umbrellas, and the blood-sealed cloth volume Wanmin Book are all put away, and I will take them to Qiongzhou later."

"what?!"

Chun Ya was shocked, "Then, how many people's umbrellas...all, take them all?"

"Yes!"

Zuofu nodded vigorously, "I want to put them in my bedroom and remind myself every day that there is such a group of people who are willing to treat each other like this just because they are full. I can't betray the trust of the people. To be a good officer."

Chunya was a little confused.

Big girl like this...

Not a good official?
"Granddaughter, grandpa made boiled eggs for you, you can rest after eating some."

Zuo Kui entered the cabin, put the bowl in front of Zuo Fu, and said: "Those Wanmin umbrellas are all in the back boat, I have taken care of them, Li Xiang, that brat is watching in person, don't worry."

After a pause, he rubbed his hands and sighed, "Oh, the old man has been very moved these past two days. The people in Wujin County are really kind! But, in other words, you are also the eldest granddaughter, you are an upright official and wholeheartedly for the people. When grandpa was young, if he met such a parent official, he would send him off like this. It's a pity that there are too few good officials in this world..."

He shook his head, and said sadly: "If all the officials in the world were like the eldest granddaughter, your father would not have to marry in. Our family used to have a lot of land, but then we met a wicked official who kept assigning handymen , how can the handyman do it? You are lucky to be able to come back alive! In order to avoid the handyman, you can only keep selling the benefits of Tiansai, and later, when your great-grandfather got sick, the whole family completely collapsed ..."

Recalling the past, Zuo Kui kept shaking his head, his eyes were red.

"Those years were really hard! I must have met your grandfather, otherwise the whole family would not be able to survive..."

As he spoke, he began to curse the officials back then, and then said to Zuo Fu: "My boy, you should go to Qiongzhou as if you were in Wujin. Don't do whatever you want just because the emperor is far away. Grandpa told you, we muddy legs I don't have any extravagant expectations, I just want to have a full meal. If you can make everyone full, everyone will support you. You must not learn from those corrupt officials, evil officials, and defrauding the people! Our family is still a seed of mud legs... ..."

"Old man, don't you know what kind of temperament the eldest girl has? How could she do such things? I was afraid that the eldest lady would be too soft-hearted, so I posted all my salary!"

Zuo Kui stared wide-eyed and said, "What?! You still posted your own salary?!"

"Don't listen to Chunya's nonsense."

Zuo Fu glared at Chunya, and then said to Zuo Kui, "Grandpa, you have to listen to grandma when you go back to Nanjing! Granddaughter will not be able to come back until I don't know when, so the family will entrust you and grandma..."
