Chapter 518:South
It is called "Xiao Xiu Autumn Festival now, changed the world."
The weather in these years of autumn and winter is particularly cold, even if it is the Jiangnan border such as Hangzhou, which is also frozen.Like this bright world, it makes people cold.The period went from 1617 to 1618.
Before the festival, Ouyang Jun and Luo Li went all the way from Beijing to Jiangnan.The two originally wanted to see this "there is a paradise, there is Suhang" Jiangnan scenery, but was greatly lost.They were sent to work.
“Well, now that the country is in trouble, Hangzhou is no longer a land of human happiness.”Ouyang Jun stood in the temporary opening of the school outside the city, in front of the hundred lazy and lazy recruiters.He was a man of garrison, and since the rise of the "Revolutionary Army" followed the front and run, he has always been thrilling but no merit.This time, I came to Hangzhou, and I came to take refuge.
Ouyang family in Beijing some forces, but also know that Daming's rivers are getting worse and worse.In the past year, the "revolutionary army" alone in Tianjin to engage in trade, not to spend a single soldier, just by doing business will bring down the north of the Ming army.
And after nearly a year of construction, the "Revolutionary Army" contact Tianjin and Tangshan wooden rail line slowly began to open.Tangshan's coal and iron ore production is getting bigger and bigger, and the blind can feel that the iron tools in the hands of the "revolutionary army" are more and more, and the price is getting cheaper and cheaper.This is the expression of power.
Although there are still many strong people to be loyal to Da Ming, the Ouyang family feels that they should send more and more children.Because the "Revolutionary Army" generally did not trust people from the old bureaucratic family, Ouyang's family sent Ouyang Junyuan to Hangzhou, which is now the most powerful place for counter-revolutionary forces.
“Oh, shit!”Ouyang Jun squatted in a car, holding a newspaper scolding in his hand: "This Jiangnan literate is really shameless, but also boasted about what the 'Yangtze River defense line' solid gold soup."“Damn it, just because of the shit in front of me?”
In the winter, it was difficult to get a sun, and the recruits squatted on the school field to soak up their moldy bodies.Some people catch each other's lice, grinning and nothing.Lori stood on the sidelines of the school yard on his own 100th man, waving a whip to the sergeants and screaming, learning how to walk in line.
Ouyang looked at his friend and shook his head to continue reading the newspaper.
The "Revolutionary Army" has been very successful in running newspapers, and the publicity effect is excellent, which has also triggered many forces to follow suit.Hangzhou rich businessmen, raise some money to get a printing shop, hire someone to write articles, this is easy.
But this "painting skin is difficult to paint bones", this Jiangnan Times is unfailing.The above article looks at the handwriting of the old school, full of the article is also, obscure, but also like to drop the bag to dig some ordinary people do not understand the allusions.For example, the last time someone played the word "back" there are several ways to write, and Ouyang Jun wiped the newspaper's ass...
Ouyang Jun went to the green building at night, and the trousers were taken off, and the lingboard who helped him push his ass could not stop laughing.His ass was full of black ink, at first glance, and a sharp look.Twenty-two nights of the flower lady on weekdays know and know, such as the interpretation of the flower, but that night also can not hold the silly.It cost more than twice the price to seal this.
Hated...
Ouyang Jun was arranged by his family to go to Jiangnan to find an errand, and the result was to be sent to train a sergeant.The northern Ming army has been completely hopeless, no enemy is a great loyalty, now can only hope that Jiangnan can practice a strong army - for example, Qi Grandpa's Qijia army is the main Zhejiang army, Jiangnan's official squire decided to catch drugs, but also engage in a strong Zhejiang army.
In order to train a strong army in the north, the merchants of Jiangnan were generous.Songjiang Province's cloth merchants, Yangzhou salt merchants, these people have been cut off the road of wealth, and the "revolutionary army" have a deep hatred.They have money, they have paid, and some people have raised a huge amount of money at the end of last year.
And then there was no going down...
“What’s a million?”Ouyang Jun saw that the newspaper was still boasting about how united the Jiangnan people were, and went back to take this "one million two" out to say things.But he had been in the north for a long time, not only to see the huge consumption of the Ming Army, but also to see more of the budget of the "Revolutionary Army" newspaper, and knew that the formation of the army was really costly.
"This Jiangnanese people gathered a million dollars and two silver coins to be happy, as if to make a great vision."Less than a million dollars, what is that money?When Mr. Zhou took North Korea, he invested 50 million silver dollars in it.”Ouyang Jun pinched the newspaper on a strong Tucao, he looked at the trainer Luo Li, shouted: "Don't practice, it is useless."
Lori’s sticks in his hand were broken a few, but he still couldn’t teach his men how to line up.He threw the stick in anger, ran back to Ouyang Jun, grabbed a pamphlet, and yelled wildly, “I obviously practiced according to this militia training manual.”This is the "Revolutionary Army" soldier's secret, bought it for eight or two silver.Why not?”
Ouyang Jun looked at Luo Li with a sympathetic look and said in a low voice: "This "militia training manual" is pirated by my family.
“What?”Lori immediately became angry, “Didn’t I ask you to buy me a genuine book?”
“Actually, it’s not bad.The original version needs one hundred and two, and my home is only eight or two printed and sold.In fact, what is written in it is the same.”Ouyang Jun said, "It's all words anyway, I'm sure I'm right."
“How could it be the same?Like the word, its spirit is certainly different.I can't practice this army, it's because of the piracy you sell."Lori was even more mad.He suddenly remembered what was going on, turning over to the bottom of the pamphlet and asking, “This is clearly printed on five or two, how do you get eight or two of me?”
This... Ouyang is a little difficult to answer.He moved a little away and said, "There's no drift."
Luo Li jumped three feet high, and he reached out to grab Ouyang Jun's neck, and scolded, "Do you dare to float my silver?"
This grasp did not grasp at all, Ouyang Jun other ability can not do, light work is first-class.As soon as he blinked his kung fu, he looked at him, and when he saw that Laury was going to follow, he shouted loudly, “My father said that pork will leave a slap in the oil.”The money has passed from our hands to leave a little, which is the rule of the officialdom.
"You're a little boy, you've got to run away."Luo Li Xiu is higher than Ouyang Jun, but he can't catch up with the latter.Seeing Ouyang Jun's shadowless, he could only return to the school after scolding for a few words.
On the school floor, Ouyang Jun's soldiers in charge of training were not well-declined.The soldiers of Lori training were stupid.The latter sighed and turned over the pamphlet in his hand, and did not understand why he could not train the strong soldiers as the "Revolutionary Army", which was forbidden.
In order to show off the use of force, the "Revolutionary Army" often conducts open military exercises in Tianjin, which can attract the audience in the mountains and seas every time.Although it is only the most basic queue training, as long as the scene feels the whole square step forward neatly, everyone will be fascinated.
"It is like a forest, its disease is like the wind, the aggression is like fire, it does not move like a mountain", Luo Li and Ouyang Jun also secretly went to see the drills of the Guards.After watching it, the two people’s reactions were different.Ouyang Jun completely dispelled the idea of himself in the army, and he felt that he could not practice such a strong army in his life.Lori was thinking of copying the infantry phalanx near the guard.
One did not want to train, but was rushed to Hangzhou to train.One wants to train but can’t.Both of them are stomach problems.Ouyang Jun ran nowhere, and Luo Li also had no strength to train.He let his soldiers stand in the military posture, and he grabbed the "Jiangnan Times" that Ouyang Jun had just left behind.
Don't say that Ouyang Jun despises these Jiangnan people, and even Luo Li also despises them, "These poor acid, it is not good to run a newspaper."People's "revolutionary Times" on the good things and bad things are not shy, there are reporters to interview the people, let the next situation, let the world know.But this Jiangnan Times is full of fake news, not even a joke."
The only thing in the newspaper can trust is the advertising of the merchant.Laurie knows that prices in the north are generally falling, and it is said that this year's food will not be shipped, and the grain prices in Jiangnan should fall.But he looked at the eyes and found that the food price in Hangzhou, the price of cloth and salt did not fall but rose.This is strange...
“How much do you buy food for a stone?”Lori asked the soldiers on the school.The answer is about two or five dollars.But the usual Jiangnan winter food prices are about one or two or five dollars.As for the north, it has now fallen below one or two.“How did your food prices go up?”
"I heard that this time Jiangnan's luxury merchants gathered money to build the army, everyone felt very strong, this want to make money back on food."
"The salt merchants did not make money last year, they would rather not sell than lower the price."Saying that it is not to be cheap, that we poor people are afraid to burn it."
“There are people who would rather sell all their food to the north at a low price, and then come back from the north to sell some ordinary goods, and make more money.”
Listening to the words of the soldiers, Lori seemed to understand, but he was more confused.This price is high, the people are suffering, and the land of Jiangnan is not the opponent of the "revolutionary army".Why do these people not understand?
The "Revolutionary Army" prefers to lose money but also keep the people's rations, desperately trying to put down the price.If someone dares to raise the price of food, a "speculation" crime can take the profiteer into prison.This group of laborious management, in exchange for the people do not want to fight the army, and even the Ming army itself has committed to Tianjin.
"These gentlemen are full of benevolence and morality, and the newspapers they run are all embroidered articles, but all the things they can do are fools."Lori thought at the end of the day was also depressing.He dropped the newspaper, and then looked at the trembling soldiers of the hundred that he had been trained by himself, and could only wave his hand to let them rest.
Not long after, Ouyang Jun, who had just escaped, slipped back and called the soldiers he trained to gather.Nor did Lori care about what had just happened with him, so he asked, “What do you want?”
“Do business, big business.”Ouyang Jun's happy.One of his hands listened to the business, the original lazy appearance immediately became mentally shaken, let the queue line on the line, let the positive step, better than Luo Li's tired and tired training.
This man is more than man, angry.
