Chapter 1400 Migration Road ([-])
Amidst the resentment between father, son and brother, a guest tapped on the chaimen.

The private school teachers in the village, all surnamed Wang, who had taught the Wang Long brothers, came to the yard with two bottles of Kanto sorghum wine in glass bottles with an "industrial atmosphere".

As soon as the father and son brothers saw Mr. Private School, they knew that he was coming to be a "lobbyist" again.But after all, they are all distant family members in the village, and they also have to kowtow during the Chinese New Year. It is hard to drive people out, so they can only ask their daughter-in-law to boil water while asking people to sit down.

As soon as the wine was put on the table, it stands to reason that what should be said at this time is "Come here, come, why are you still taking things" or something like that.

But this time he didn't say anything, and the old man Wang Cheng didn't get angry, and asked, "Is this wine also given to you by the superiors? Did you come here to talk about moving away again? If so, take it back, and I won't drink the wine. It makes me sick to drink."

Mr. Private School stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "If you say yes, that's true. The money given by the above allows us, the private school bastards, to 'study', and after the study, we must explain the truth to you. This The wine was indeed bought with the money from above."

Wang Cheng's complexion just changed, and Mr. Private School said again: "But if you say no, then you are not. My words have already been handed over, and my business has been completed. I have a clear conscience for the money I received. We must resign. You can't change it without persuasion. I came here with a drink at this time, not because you are notoriously stubborn, so I came to chat with you. "

As soon as this was said, the father and son could hear it, and wondered: "You want to move too?"

"Naturally, I'm leaving too. It's said above that if you go there, you must have a teacher. Even if we talk about the imperial examination later, literacy does not necessarily require the imperial examination, right? I have studied for many years, but I am just a scholar. I gave up the idea of ​​passing the exam a long time ago. But when I went to Jinan Prefecture to 'study', I heard those young people say that they should be literate even if they didn't take the imperial examination, which made me decide to move."

"When I get there, I have money and a month's rice collar. When my son grows up, I will also grant the land. Why don't you go?"

"Brother, you don't have to be stubborn, you might as well think about it. Your family's life is indeed okay. Isn't it just forty or fifty acres of land?"

"In the future, there will always be a family. At that time, there will be four brothers, and each of them will only have ten acres of land. Then if they have four brothers, they will have no sons? Ten acres will become three acres, and three acres will become nine points. They can't be converted into land, right? ?”

"To put it bluntly, if the year is good, everyone is good. Whose land are you going to buy? If the year is bad, everyone is bad. How can you buy land?"

"I did receive the money from above, and I wanted to preach these things. But the money is the money, and the reason is the reason. I think what they said is reasonable. This Yellow River, sooner or later, it will be a matter."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng became angry and scolded: "Yellow River, Yellow River! I have never seen the Yellow River go to Shandong, neither has my grandfather, nor has my grandfather! You say the Yellow River It's scary, but the Yellow River doesn't go to Shandong at all, no matter how scary the Yellow River is, what does it matter to us?"

Mr. Private School sneered and said, "How old are you? Including our ancestors who moved here, how many years has it been? There are so many things you haven't seen. If you haven't seen it, it's fake?"

"Why did Sima Gong write history? Why did the dynasties use history as a mirror? One person's life, but only a few decades, can you understand a stick? Looking through the history books, how many years has the Yellow River traveled to the north? How many years has it to travel to the south?"

After finishing speaking, he slammed the two bottles of wine on the table, knocked on the glass bottle and said, "Have you seen this thing before? Wait a few days, when we go over there, you will know." .Look at the one over there, it’s completely different from this one. I’ve been there and seen it.”

"Not to mention anything else, do you think that the corn, ground beans, sweet potatoes, and peppers are all from the ancestors and have always been there? Let me tell you, no, they are passed down from Fusang. "

"I'm not too young this year, but I really hate that I was born 20 years earlier. This time I went to Jinan Prefecture to 'study', and took a bus to Jiaodong to see it. I knew the word 'changing with each passing day'."

Mr. Private School sighed, then shook his head and said: "I'm not here to explain these principles to you today. I'm here to do something practical. Sell the things at home if you can sell them. Sell them now, how much more can you sell?" A little money. Otherwise, when you really want to leave, you won’t be able to sell it for a penny.”

"If you don't leave, people really dare to demolish your house and dig up your land. Where are you going to reason?"

"Not to mention that if you go to the county government, Dalong will definitely have to be boarded. Even if you go to the capital and sue the imperial court, don't you think the emperor doesn't know about it?"

"Besides, what's the big deal about you? How much fame and fame are there in the establishment of Yongdian in Jiaodong? But what's the result? Didn't he lose his fame? The master of Wenquxing, who came down to earth, can't make a fuss. , do you really think that you can frighten people by hanging yourself?"

"Let me tell you clearly... This is also the truth I learned in 'studying' in Jinan Prefecture. They told me clearly at the time: this matter can't be caused by trouble, and I'm not afraid of rebellion, because it can't be rebelled."

"North of the river, nothing moved."

"In the south of the river, from Jinan Prefecture to Jiaodong and Layden, those who can really make trouble will not make trouble now."

"The only thing is that the river area is hundreds of miles or more than ten miles wide. You can make trouble as you please. It's useless."

"At that time, that's what the lecturer said. He made it very clear that he wasn't afraid of trouble or rebellion at all."

"Even, let me say something ugly. They want you to turn against it. What's the use if you turn against it?"

"In the south, Yongdian works and won't make trouble with you. In the north, everything is as usual, and there are fewer canal corvees. Why do you want to rebel? The people in the river and lake districts really make a big fuss and rebel, isn't it? Give someone a handle?"

"At that time, just kill them all, and even save the money for relocation. Do you really think it doesn't cost money to relocate?"

These words are cold and cold.

These words relayed by Mr. Private School are actually a bit of a superficial rule.The reason for telling them is mainly because they are scholars, and they are unwilling scholars.

These principles are actually an analysis of the situation, and tell these unsatisfied scholars and potential rebel leaders and reservists: the Yellow River incident will not cause a cyclops, you better keep your heads clear, and don’t lose your life in vain up.

Mr. this private school has been educated and has been selected as a scholar.But I figured it out early on, and felt that I had no hope of winning the exam, and that's why I was so lazy.

Reading the books of sages and sages is actually not about governing the country, but a selection process.At that time, Emperor Taizong joked that this thing is the decimal point of the rate of reciprocating the ancestors, but it is actually the same.Many things about governing the country and governing the country are not learned in the books of sages.

But reading is always literacy, and literacy is easy to learn the truth.This private school gentleman went to Jinan Mansion for "further study", and his vision was suddenly enlightened, because in Jinan Mansion, some people explained some simple truths without concealment.

Don't be blunt.

To put it simply, the Songsu reform has been completed, and the northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui areas have also stabilized due to road construction and coal mining.

To the north is the capital city, where the elite garrison of the imperial court is located.

The canal has been abolished, and now there is no fear of rebellion in the canal area to "cut off the canal".

And even the matter of digging the river channel was not done immediately, but prepared in advance.

Not to mention the Leiden area, that was where Liu Yu trained his troops, and it was the area where the transformation started earlier.Later, he came to the Guandong by sea, which greatly eased the conflict.

Terengganu Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture cannot be messed up at all, but they are the beneficiaries of the reform.

Due to the development of Haizhou's salt industry, Yizhou Prefecture expanded its salt industry to the north. At the same time, it changed the salt industries of Qingzhou Prefecture and Wuding Prefecture to the seaside of Yizhou Prefecture.

In Qingzhou Mansion, they engaged in permanent tenancy, planted flue-cured tobacco, opened coal and iron mines in Linzi and other places, built roads, and planted peanuts. The past few years have been easy and chaotic.

Step by step, bit by bit, during the years when Dashun fought wars in India, Europe, and America, the reforms in these places were gradually implemented, like a noose.

In the end, we arrived at the selected Yellow River channel, and the most troublesome places, Caozhou Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and Tai'an Prefecture, where reforms such as water transportation had the greatest impact.

When the noose began to tighten, it was already at the end, and there was no longer any resistance.

It was only at this time that I moved, and when I moved, it was so decisive, all kinds of coercion, merciless, and unreasonable.

In the final analysis, it is "courageous", knowing that there will be no chaos, at least not to the point of Lianzhou Lianfu, not to worry about making various concessions for the sake of "safe water transportation".

Of course, the emperor knew it well.

The reason why the emperor wanted to build a railway from the capital south to Hankou was that it included the situation after the Yellow River diverted: the railway from Beijing to Hankou, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Haizhou-Xuzhou railway, the Yangtze River, and the Weihai Lushun railway in Tianjin. The shipbuilding industry and the fleet have completed the division of the "Empire Rebellion Crisis Zone".

Of course, the content of Mr. Private School's "advanced training" in Jinan Mansion is impossible to talk about the big division on the emperor's side.

What's more, if these principles are said to be useful, they seem to be useful; if they are said to be useless... For those who don't want to rebel at all, even listening to them is meaningless.

Although this Mr. Private School is also Mr. Private School and lives next to Liangshan Po in history, but he does not feel that he is Wu Yong.

Coming here today, it is indeed as he said, he has done all the things he needs to do to receive the money, this time he is really out of the feelings of the same family and the same family, to talk about something realistic.

To put it more simply: sell furniture, trees, pots and pans, livestock, whatever you can.If you want to sell the chickens you raise, you can sell them. If you don’t want to sell them, you might as well kill them and eat them.

This is the real truth.

Besides, Mr. Private School is also going to immigrate this time.After going there, most of them will still be in the half-farming style of villages and towns. At that time, there will be people from all over the place, and he also needs some acquaintances, otherwise he is afraid of being bullied when he goes there.

Mr. Private School has inquired a lot of information, and I heard that it is based on the form of villages and towns over there.

Taking 120 households as a village, divide the land according to the distance of the land, according to the near, middle and far.Fairness is basically guaranteed, and each family has its own distance.

Ideally, eight villages surround it, like a star supporting the moon, and there is a town.There are schools, blacksmith shops and hundreds of craftsmen in the town.

When people get together, if they reach a hundred and twenty ding, they can be concentrated and continue to move eastward to form new villages and towns.I heard that this model is to learn from the experience of the Western Congregational Society, and the villages and towns are full of people to apply for land approval and establish new villages and towns.It is nothing more than that Westerners rely on churches, and taxes are also handed over to churches, while here they rely on schools and yamen, and taxes are also handed over to yamen.

Just go there, people everywhere.Therefore, after all, they are still people from the same village and clan, and they can take care of each other after they go.

Mr. Private School is convinced that after a few years there, life will definitely be no worse than here.

That's why he's so enthusiastic, a lobbyist who pays for extra work out of his own pocket.

Otherwise, if he gets there and lives worse than here, then the more he does now, the more hatred he will have in the future, which will be counterproductive.At that time, being blamed for a lifetime, or even being stabbed for a bad life, will pay a lot of money.

As for the mind of benefiting the world, although Mr. Private School did not continue to study and seek fame, he still has some points. He really believes that digging the Yellow River is beneficial to the world.It's just that people live, they have to eat, drink, eat, drink, live, and travel, so they have a heart and believe in it, but in the end, they still have to talk about eating, drinking, and lodging.

For example, those who want to be persuaded should quickly sell the things in the house that can be sold.All in all, when we reach the ends of the earth, gold, silver, and copper coins are still money, and we can buy books, wine, meat, and clothes.Having the feelings of the world is not contradictory to eating, shitting, dressing and living.
