Chapter 366 A Magnificent Picture Scroll

early august.

On the Yellow River, a magnificent picture scroll is being staged.A fleet of hundreds of rafts set off from Fugu County and went straight down the Yellow River to Henan.

Wherever the fleet went, it attracted countless people to watch, and countless people were moved and shocked by it!
Wherever the fleet went, it attracted countless waves of hands, countless envy, and countless singing applause. It became a picture of "escaping from heaven" to describe the hell in Shaanxi in the late Ming Dynasty.When the news spread, it shocked the whole of Shaanxi. The people who heard it were extremely moved, and the hearts of the people suddenly turned.The place of hope is the river. More and more people began to follow the river and go down the river. Throughout Shaanxi, countless people flowed along the small river to the big river, and walked down the place where there was water, and began to look for the hope of life.

Shaanxi, Xi'an Prefecture.

Xu Guangqi is anxiously waiting for the news. He also received the news from Zhou Yanru a long time ago, saying that he is going to organize a group of leather rafts to swagger down the Yellow River in order to increase the confidence of the victims in Shaanxi. He said that he has notified Shi Kefa to do so, etc. , Let Xu Guangqi wait for the good news...

Although Xu Guangqi had some doubts about this suggestion, he didn't say anything. Although there was some suspicion of "grabbing credit and showing off" in this matter, Xu Guangqi still waited patiently. It is a great achievement to have a steady heart. Perhaps there is some meaning of "grabbing credit" in this matter, but Xu Guangqi is ready to admit it.So, they sent people to the Yellow River to wait for the news, and prepared to see how the incident would react.

On this day, Xu Guangqi was thinking about immigration in front of a huge sand table, when someone shouted outside the door.

"My lord, my lord, good news, good news..." It was the fast horse sent by Xu Guangqi to inquire about the news by the Yellow River rushing in. A look of excitement.

"Oh, what's the good news?" Seeing Kuaima's face, Xu Guangqi probably guessed that the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, but his face was still very calm.

Many immigration officers, book office, etc. of the Sinong Division heard about it, and they all came to watch and see what the good news is. In Shaanxi, where civil uprising is about to break out, there are not many things that can be called good news.

"My lord...it's boiling, the whole Yellow River is boiling...here, there are people everywhere...well, there are a lot of rafts, even the Yellow River is covered..." The fast horse was tired and thirsty , so that the speech is incoherent.

"Don't worry, have a sip of herbal tea first..." Xu Guangqi hurriedly ordered the servants to serve herbal tea.

The fast horse "Gudong" "Gudong" drank several cups of herbal tea, wiped his mouth, and let out a long breath, then he regained his strength and said, "My lord, the little one is waiting for the adults by the side of the Yellow River in the immigration point." The fleet of leather rafts mentioned, yesterday, the small ones really arrived. There are so many leather rafts! There are probably hundreds of them, a large area full of them, and the entire Yellow River is covered..., the victims of the resettlement site came from When the first raft appeared, I stood on the embankment and watched until the raft was out of sight, and I still refused to disperse. All I said was to praise the magnificence of this raft, and all I said was to say that this time it was saved. Almost everyone was full of hope for the immigrants. After the raft arrived, it waved to the people on the shore, and the victims on the embankment also waved, and then sang along with the victims. The scene was quite spectacular. My little one’s words are not good, anyway, I just feel that the scene was very touching, and many people were in tears..., I thought, such a good thing, I’m afraid it will spread throughout Shaanxi in two days, my lord, This time, we, Sinongsi, are in the limelight...the victims will no longer be afraid that we will deceive them." When the fast horse talked about the spectacular scene at that time, he couldn't help being excited, growing up so big, It was the first time to see such a touching, enthusiastic and shocking scene.

Not only the quick horse looked at Xu Guangqi, but also the immigration officers and the book office who were listening to the news all stared at Xu Guangqi to see how the boss of the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs would treat this matter.

Xu Guangqi smiled slightly. This emigration was a success. So much effort was not in vain. Although Zhou Yanru was suspected of "grabbing credit" in this matter, it was obvious that It is very reasonable and reasonable to "grab credit" this time.

"Hehe, the jade rope is really a good method, and Xianzhi didn't disappoint the old man... Good!" Xu Guangqi praised it once, and also set a character for this matter, that is good.

After hearing the attributive words from the boss of Sinongsi, the crowd couldn't hold back their excitement any longer, and shouted: "Yes!" Many of the immigration officers and secretary offices of Sinongsi were young people, and The passion and impulsiveness unique to this young man, and the heart to fight for his career, have not been extinguished. This incident is worthy of their loud cry.

A loud cry from Sinongsi shocked the entire Xi'an Mansion.

The shocking scene of hundreds of rafts carrying victims down the river in the Yellow River was like waves, rapidly rippling away.

……

It was late August when Zhou Yanru saw this mansion report.

The news published in the mansion newspaper was about him. This mansion newspaper devoted a lot of space to praising the scene of hundreds of people transporting people down the Yellow River on rafts planned by him. Huang He was very successful. The big credit for that day was that he didn't escape from his grasp.

Zhou Yanru glanced at his buttocks, the pain in his buttocks had long since disappeared, and the pain he suffered in those few days was not in vain.Now the ass is better, and the ass in the future is almost certain. It can be firmly seated in the position of immigration imperial envoy. After securing the position of immigrant imperial envoy, joining the cabinet is a very natural thing. Of course, the premise is that Xu Guangqi will not do it. Thinking about Xu Guangqi's age, Zhou Yanru feels that he has done a good job. Although his butt suffered a few days ago, the wave of hands at that historic moment and the shocking plan are definitely worth it. There is no need to leave a name in the future The problem, this great credit, still didn't run out of my hands. With this credit, the emperor can't forget him, and Xu Guangqi can't recommend him. The problem of this ass is finally solved, Zhou Yanru is beautiful After taking a sip of tea, the emperor gave Shi Kefa an official rank, but he didn't mention adding an official to him, but praised his actions in the mansion newspaper. Zhou Yanru thought it was right, the more the emperor didn't give him an The more he becomes an official, the more confident he is. In the future, the position of imperial envoy will not be lost. Looking at the Yellow River in the distance, Zhou Yanru smiled and looked at the busy immigration officers and book offices on the Yellow River without focus.

late August.

Shaanxi rice fat.

Li Hongji (also known as Li Zicheng) rode a tall horse, walked through the streets and alleys of Mizhi County with infinite scenery, and was ready to go home.After the end of August, the immigrants in Fugu County were quickly transshipped, and Fugu County no longer needed too many manpower. Therefore, Shi Kefa agreed to Li Hongji's request to go home, and felt that Li Hongji was now considered to be an outstanding person, and his ancestors were honored. , I should go back and have a look, I should return home.In Fugu County, this time, not only was he promoted, but he himself jumped two ranks in a row, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. To join the ranks of official officials, even Li Zicheng, a guy with no reputation, actually got a casual official from the ninth rank to do it. After getting on this guy, amidst the surprise and envy of everyone, Li Zicheng rode back to his hometown on a tall horse.

Yan Zibin, the county magistrate of Mizhi County, knew that this newly-promoted junior official had returned home, so he specially came to pick him up for a drink in the county government office, and even gave Li Hongji a ride.

Seeing Li Zicheng triumphantly riding away on a tall horse, the county magistrate Yan Zibin didn't say anything, but the master beside him was quite unhappy.

"Master, he is just a small sesame official from the ninth rank, or a loose official. Why did the master accommodate him? He came to see him off in person? How much face is this giving him? This guy is so ostentatious, look at him The appearance of riding a horse is really hateful..." In Mizhi County, this master can be regarded as a person under one person and above ten thousand people, but today he smiled and held a wine glass for the former little person, which made him Quite upset.

"Master, you don't understand this. Although this kid is only a small casual official from the ninth rank, but this official was given by His Majesty. Hehe, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an imperial gift. This amount , but it’s much better than your master’s seventh-rank official. There are so many officials in the world, how many seventh-rank officials are remembered by His Majesty? Let alone those from ninth rank? This is Jane in the emperor’s heart! I this Your Majesty may not have heard of the county magistrate of the seventh rank. Alas, this kid is really lucky to climb up the big tree of Shi Kefa, and now he is in the eyes of the emperor. The emperor wants to promote him as a model, your master would not dare to compare with him... oh,..." Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, looked at Li Hongji's back and sighed regretfully.Who would believe that he, a Bailihou, could welcome and send him to a small official from the ninth rank?However, he sent it.

The master has nothing to say. He knows what his master said. Today's mansion newspaper is much more timely than before, and the content is much richer. Not only his master, but also himself, the county Everyone in the yamen, big or small, has to keep their heads up. This is the weather vane for understanding the trend of the Ming Dynasty. After reading the mansion newspaper, it is tantamount to knowing the whole Ming Dynasty’s movements. Naturally, I know that this Li Zicheng is from Mizhi County. He is a "legendary figure" who was favored by the emperor and directly given to an official by a little man with no fame or official status. He will naturally pay attention to him. He is also jealous, but apart from jealousy, he can only be jealous, even though he is a person under one person and above ten thousand people in Mizhi County, but to be honest, his status is not comparable to that of Li Zicheng, He is an official, he can be regarded as an official at most, the gap between an official and an official is not so big, if he sees Li Zicheng in the future, he will have to bow his hands, thinking of this, the master is jealous again.

……

Shanhaiguan.

Yang Liu and his entourage bid farewell to his family, asked Shi Kefa to find a road and issued a license, so he went to Shanhaiguan as the brave man who hunted the heads of Donglu. Because there are roads, it is also easy to get to Shanhaiguan.

Looking at the majestic Shanhaiguan, Yang Liu took a few extra glances. They also left the customs from here. Unfortunately, those who went out were scattered, dead, injured, and how many people were missing. , Today, he came here again.

"Bah..." A subordinate behind Yang Liu spat fiercely at the majestic Shanhaiguan.

Yang Liu quickly stopped it.

"Song San, don't be reckless. This is Shanhaiguan, not Fugu. There is no one to take care of you. You have to be careful in everything. If you can avoid trouble, don't cause trouble!" Yang Liu finished his emotion and quickly stopped his old man.

"Sixth brother, I just hate those dog officials. If it weren't for those dog officials, how could we have lost so badly? How could so many brothers have died? My younger brother also..." Speaking of this, the man named Song San People, almost burst into tears, sobbing choked up, even mentioning this sad matter, there will be endless tears.

Song San was in tears, and the eye circles of the others were also red. The fiasco that year, that scene, was really a tragedy!

Yang Liuhong's eyes were red, and he said quickly: "Okay, old man, brothers, don't be sad about the past, aren't we starting again now? Aren't we going to avenge the dead guys and brothers? Hehe, now that there is no dog officer blindly directing us, we can do whatever we want, wouldn’t it be comfortable?” The reason why Yang Liu gave up the opportunity to immigrate to the south and came here with a group of brothers to do head trading outside the customs is also the same as back then. It has something to do with the fiasco of Saarhu. How many brothers died in the defeat of Saerhu that year. Almost all of them in this group have blood debts with Donglu, so they resolutely came outside the pass.

"Yes, Brother Six is ​​right. This time we will do it alone. Without the dog officer to mess around, we are afraid that we will not be able to get revenge? Are we afraid that we will not be able to get the head?" One person echoed.

"That's right, then, Brother Six, what should we do now? According to what the bartender said earlier, go buy that new type of musket? Otherwise, the road to Jinning might not be safe. The bartender also said that it is best to use Let's go after getting familiar with the gun..." A few people stood at the Shanhai Pass, discussing how to go at first.

After a while, Yang Liu and his party followed the instructions of others and found a place dedicated to "selling guns".A very grand building. In front of the building, there are several soldiers with guns. Even on the top of the building, there are several standing. It looks very powerful, not an ordinary business.

What's more amazing is that at the entrance of this store, the window is actually made of transparent glass. Inside the glass window are rows of brand new muskets, which makes many passers-by salivate, but no one dares to point fingers. No one dared to go up to snatch the guns, they could only watch from afar. It is said that those soldiers with muskets were loaded with gunpowder.

Yang Liu and the others lingered at the door of this store for a long time, and confirmed that this was not a barracks office, but a "shop" specializing in selling guns.

Song San was intimidated by the store's grandeur, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, this really sells guns? What is the transparent one? Why does it look like there is nothing there? There are so many guns, so don't be afraid." Someone snatched it away..." Song San was indeed intimidated by the store's aura, and said weakly to his sixth brother.

After all, Yang Liu was an experienced person, and said: "This should be called glass, it can be so transparent, and it is so big, it is really rare in the world!... Oh, Song San! Look at the two standing on both sides. Soldiers, look upstairs again, if you want guns for them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with..." Yang Liu couldn't stop admiring, and while talking, he also looked at the "security guard" in the gun shop.

"Then sixth brother, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money... Who is so generous, a place that sells guns, is willing to spend so much money to decorate the facade..." Song San was really intimidated by the momentum of this store I stopped and didn't dare to speak loudly.

A passer-by next to him interjected: "Look, you are all foreigners. This gun is sold by Da Nei. Who would dare to sell this Da Nei except the emperor? Don't you want your head?" The passer-by said disdainfully road.

The passer-by's words aroused the interest of Yang Liu and the others. Yang Liu hurriedly bowed his hands and asked for advice: "Brother, you are very polite. We are indeed from a foreign country. No, we are going to try our luck over there." , Hehe, that's why I came here specially to sell something, if I don't understand, I hope you can give me some advice..."

The passer-by looked at Yang Liu and his party, and said: "...Looking at your outfits, I can probably guess what you do. Now, there are more people doing your job, and there are not many of you, hehe, Killing the heads of the Tartars is a good business, but you really have to prepare well for this item, otherwise, you won’t be able to find the heads, and you’ll get yourself involved..." The passer-by began to speak eloquently.

Yang Liuyi kept it in his mind that this person spoke in much more detail than that bartender.

"...I said, when you meet me, Han Hu, you can ask the right person. You just need to mention my name, and the shopkeeper there will save face. If you want to buy a gun, it's easy... Go ahead , go..." The passer-by who played Han Hu boasted a lot.

"Then I would like to thank Brother Han. When I become prosperous in the future, I will never forget my brother..." Yang Liu got a lot of useful information from Han Hu, and was about to leave and go to the gun shop to buy a gun.

Song San saw that his boss was almost done with this powerful person, and hurried over, and asked, "I said, brother, what is this glass? It's very valuable, right?"

Han Hu, a passer-by, looked at Song San and said, "You don't even know whose business this glass is from? Have you heard of Liulizhai? Have you ever seen that you can use glass to decorate the walls of a street? Liulizhai has Can people go to heaven? Liulizhai can..."

Song San was completely dumbfounded. The glass walls of the whole street were far beyond the limit of his imagination. As for how people go to heaven, this, he couldn't imagine.

Yang Liu was much more informed, and said with a smile: "Okay, Song San, don't think about it, Liulizhai is His Majesty's property, it is a golden mountain, Liulizhai specializes in making glass, and the glass street is a scene in the capital. , when you have money in the future, where can you go to have a look and gain knowledge, hehe, as for God, it is a large Kongming lantern... It is said that it is also made of silver from Liulizhai..."

"Oh..." Song San replied stupidly.
