Ming dynasty grand dude

After reading almost the entire article, you can roughly know how these punctuation marks are used.

If you don't understand it, you can quickly understand it by comparing it with "Punctuation Notes".

"It's really a great event that benefits the country and the people! Very good! Very good!!"

Before finishing the book, Zhan Ganquan put down the book and said excitedly to Lun Wen, "This is a great kindness, a great kindness!!"

When Zhan Ganquan said this, he quickly noticed that his junior brother was a little hesitant, so he couldn't help but smiled.

"It's okay to say something if you have something to say, as a brother, you are not such a pedantic person."

Zhan Ganquan smiled and said softly to his younger brother, "Although the Jade Chihu is unparalleled in talent and learning, it is not a man who is aimless!"

"Let my younger brother bring these books to me, there must be a plan."

But seeing his eyes slowly resting on the "Analects of Confucius", he sighed softly, "I'm afraid... I can't help but avoid official duties for my brother!"

"Brother..."

Lun Wenxu let out a long sigh but was speechless, he naturally knew what Zhan Ganquan was thinking.

This Zhan Ganquan really has no intention of official career, he is only interested in teaching and spreading knowledge.

Like his teacher Chen Baisha, he believes that fame and wealth are easy to lose one's mind and are not good for learning.

The group of Confucian scholars in the early Ming Dynasty were quite strong, such as Zhan Ganquan.

Going back to Wu Kangzhai, the founder of Chongren School and author of "Ri Lu", he really should not take the imperial examination and refused to enter the official position many times.

"I don't want to take the imperial examination because I don't like flattery and flattery. If it's for learning, how can I not be an official?!"

Zhan Ganquan smiled and said to Lunwen, "You are too pedantic! Not being an official is a self-examination."

"Being an official for learning, isn't it the way to verify learning?!"

But he paused for Zhan Ganquan, and said softly to his teacher's tomb, "It's just that I still need to guard the tomb for my teacher..."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to be an official in the past few years, so I ask Yuan Gang to reply like this!"

Hearing this, Lun Wenxu sighed and said softly, "I'm afraid that Jade Chihu will invite senior brother to see you, not just about being an official..."

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Zhan Ganquan couldn't help being a little curious.

Lun Wenxu didn't keep him waiting long, and quickly told Zhan Ganquan everything he had learned.

I heard that those gentry and rich merchants in northern Guangdong actually disregarded their shame, colluded with all kinds of bandits to kill and rob goods, and illegally entered the sea...

Zhan Ganquan's face turned red with anger, and his mouth trembled uncontrollably.

In the past, he also knew that those people had unclean eyes, but he never thought that these people were so vicious!

I think back to when I first read Yuchihu's "Feidui Xuhuaji", I still felt that Yuchihu was taking advantage of those bastards.

The merchants and officials in the capital are really shameless, even if the eyes of northern Guangdong are not clean, it is not like this!

However, the reality slapped him in the face. These gentry and wealthy merchants in northern Guangdong are probably no less important than those in the capital!

"National beetles! All of them are national beetles!!"

Zhan Ganquan's beard and hair were all stretched out, and it was "Hula~!" He stood up and said to Lun Wen solemnly.

"Take me a little while, I'll prepare for my brother and I'll go see that Jade Chihu with you!"

But I saw Zhan Ganquan let out a deep breath, and his voice was as cold as a knife's edge, "What Yu Chihu said, there is really no difference!"

"His heart is not righteous, and his behavior is evil. The more people read, the more harm they will do!"

Lun Wenxu lowered his head, and took over the sentence, "The one who does the most harm... brings disaster to the country and the people!!"

Chapter 394 The heat is in full swing, the heart is determined, and the undercurrent is raging

"Boom! Boom~!!..." Explosions continued to sound, but a large piece of the rock "rumbling..." rolled down.

After they settled down, groups of men in coarse cloth clothes and coarse gloves huffed around.

Large pieces of falling rocks were knocked apart by "jingle dong dong~", and then they were tied up with iron cables and hoisted onto mules and horses for transport away.

The rest of the gravel was collected by "hua la la ~", and then transported to the gravel field in front with a large cart.

The gravel field is on the edge of the built river dam, and the large pieces of steel wheel rollers driven by water force "Ka Ka Ka..." to crush the gravel.

There is a huge bamboo sieve underneath that is constantly "squeaking..." sifting, and after the sieving, it will be sent to a finer hydraulic mill for further refinement.

This process needs to be repeated five times before the requirements can be met.

Then batches are sent to the material preparation place for mixing and burning, and finally form cement made by local method.

Part of each batch has to be taken out to test the hardness, and there is no tester at the moment.

The old craftsmen took out part of the cement and made it into cakes. After it was completely dry, they put it in a large pot of boiling water and boiled it for two hours.

If there is no crack, no collapse, and no deformation when taken out, then it is qualified.

There is also a dam downstream of the dam, which belongs to the smelter of the foundry branch.

The roar of clanging water hammers came from it continuously, and large castings and casting molds were continuously conveyed out...

On the pier, tens of thousands of people shouted and worked under the guidance of the master craftsmen and craftsmen of the Ordnance Construction Bureau.

Watching the construction site, Xu went back to his hometown to pay homage to his teacher, and had a talk with his senior brother, Mr. Gan Quan, Zhan Ruoshui.

Then he strongly invited Mr. Zhan Ruoshui Ganquan to Yangcheng, planning to start the "Yuefu Times".

One is to widely disseminate knowledge and comment on current events, and the other is to reduce paper and widely disseminate the current affairs of the empire to the localities.

If this news is definitely an explosion on weekdays, the gentry of Yangcheng Mansion will definitely pay a visit.

But now everyone has no such thoughts, so what are you, Mr. Ganquan, who is so awesome!

Is there any special Yongle Tongbao relationship with labor and management? !

Now the Jade Chihu is connected with the Chief Commissioner and the Procuratorate, and keeps registering household registration, renting official land and raising wages.

That's picking money out of our pockets, it's so cool.

Who cares about you, Mr. Ganquan!

So in addition to a few candidates and poor scholars, there are also chief envoys and inspectors who came to welcome Zhan Ganquan.

Those gentry and merchants who were originally from northern Guangdong couldn't see any of them, but Zhan Ganquan didn't care.

After having a meal with the chief envoy and the inspector, he rolled up his sleeves with his disciples and started preparing for the "Guangdong Times".

The state capitals were once again summoned to the chief envoy for a meeting, and they all brought Mr. Ganquan's letter with them when they returned.

Those impoverished scholars in the prefectural capital and county were all called together, and then the county lords circulated Mr. Ganquan's letter to them.

Not much is said in the letter, on the one hand, it encourages them to read more.

The other thing is to talk to them and know that they are suffering from insufficient daily use.

Therefore, after many exchanges with Yu Chihu, I will establish "Yuefu Times".

On the one hand, it spreads knowledge so that they can see it without going out.

On the other hand, it was Yu Chihu's proposal, with the assistance of the chief envoy and the prefectures and counties, to give them the status of "envoys".

The monthly salary is issued by the chief envoy, three coins and two buckets of rice per month.

This "Xuanyu Envoy" comes from the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is not often placed.

"History of the Song Dynasty Zhiguan Zhiqi" contains "send envoys from all walks of life to proclaim the virtues and meanings of the edicts, and report the maladministration of various places".

How can poor scholars get this benefit? !

Immediately, he was so grateful that he couldn't do it, and bowed to Yangcheng Mansion again and again to thank him.

Some even kept wiping the corners of their eyes. After all, Mr. Ganquan knew the suffering of poor scholars like us!

The Jade Chi Tiger is also worthy of being praised by the elders of the pavilion as "the unicorn in the world", and it really takes care of us poor scholars!

In addition, the song "Give Hongzhi 14 Years Farewell to the Brothers" in the last imperial examination has already spread all over the world with the returnees.

The phrase "One thing is sad, the king is down, and the two temples are not met", said how many scholars have bitter tears.

The foundry branch quickly printed stacks of steel plaques for them, and wrote a letter saying "The Great Ming Empire's Northern Guangdong Inheritance Announces the Political Envoy Division x State x Prefecture x County Proclamation Envoy".

This makes the poor scholars feel a sense of honor, this Nima is an official status!

Labor and management have studied hard for many years, and the fake ones can be regarded as mixed into one position.

There is also Yueyin and Ginger Rice, which can be said to have raised their identities by a large margin.

All of a sudden, the favorability of these new "envoys" for the chief envoy, Yu Chihu, and Mr. Ganquan immediately increased!

Therefore, after the first batch of "Northern Guangdong Times" was printed, the poor students who received the "Times" from the prefectures and counties rushed back to their hometowns without stopping.

Seriously pinned on his steel badge, and then summoned his neighbors to read the "Times" with great pomp.

In order to increase their authority, the magistrates of various states and counties went all over the country with them.

And all these gentry and wealthy businessmen didn't notice it at all, or they didn't care if they knew it.

It's just a little poor, what can they do? !

Even Mr. Ganquan, please say "Mr. Ganquan" to save face.

Even if you give him a cold face, what can he do? !

He is an old man who is a Juren, and he is also a Juren, and his family has a Jinshi, which is not half a point behind him!

What they are doing now is to mobilize the whole of northern Guangdong.

"Jie Jie Jie..." Dai Yi in the shadows smiled like a night owl in the barren cemetery, his voice was shrill and chilling.

Shan Zheng prostrated on the ground without saying a word, silently waiting for the order of the old ancestor.

"Okay~! Really, really good!!"

In the hidden cellar in the backyard of the bookstore, Dai Yi squinted his eyes and flipped through the messages in front of him and whispered.

"That kid Zhou Jinshan even complained to our family that the expenses were too high and the manpower was not enough..."

Seeing that old Dai Yi closed these messages with a smile, he sighed softly, "This time, there should be enough manpower."

"Shan family boy, order me down! Tell the brats below not to kill you when the time comes!"

Shan Zheng couldn't help shaking when he heard this, and lowered his head.

"Rectify the river, lay the cement straight road, dig the mine and open the mountain...Everywhere needs manpower! It's a pity to die..."

Chapter 395 The wind and thunder in northern Guangdong are surging, and a hundred thousand raging waves hit the shore

On the outskirts of Yangcheng, in the camp of Yangcheng Youwei.

The soldiers of the old and weak guards who were considered "obtrusive" had been driven away long ago, if they were not afraid that they would be released if they looked too familiar.

Maybe their heads will be chopped off and exchanged for meritorious service.

Fatty Li, Lao Hei, Zhu Zi, and Da Tou, the four who sat upright in Yangcheng that day were the leaders.

Nearly [-] soldiers in the dark below were panting heavily in the brightly lit camp.

These men are all dressed up, and they look like fierce men.

"Let's not talk nonsense, this time I worked hard to settle down 15 taels and sent them to your home! The household registration has also been cancelled!"

Fatty Li stood up viciously, and shouted at these guys, "Just hack and kill!"

"If something goes wrong, the labor and management at home will definitely not be able to go hungry!"

"Go!!"

In the depths of the West Mountain, you can vaguely see the stockade at the foot of the mountain after bypassing several mountain passes and passing through two mountain passes.

If you can't see clearly during the day, and there are checkpoints guarding the several mountain passes you have to pass through.

Xishan mandrill Xu Yueli was wearing a worn-out cloth armor, and was holding a goose feather knife with its scabbard peeled off, standing in front of the "Juyi Hall".
