lied to Kangxi

Yuzhu kept his word, and began to meet officials from Huguang Province the next day.

Officials, large and small, headed by Governor Zhang Liandeng of Huguang, lined up one by one to be interviewed.

The one with the braid cut went in smoothly to meet Yu Zhu.

I'm sorry for those who didn't cut their braids, just took off the top and went home to grow sweet potatoes.

When the Qing army entered the customs, it was very barbaric and violent, openly intimidating the Han people all over the world, and leaving their hair behind.

Yuzhu, it's not possible, it's not as good as Yuan Xiangcheng's magnanimity, right?
After the Qing Dynasty abdicated, some of the elders and children of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had their braids cut, while others did not.

Yuan Xiangcheng didn't kill those who didn't cut their braids.

The general trend of the world is mighty and mighty, and social civilization has been improving.

Wang Qixuan, the governor of Jiangxi Province, and the old Shisan, wanted to murder Yuzhu, and Yuzhu punished his three clans, which was reasonable and legal.

As for cutting off the head without cutting the braids, that would be too much. How is it different from Tar Qing?

The new society should be diversified and more tolerant of other people's private life habits.

Under the guise of morality, unscrupulously interfering in other people's private affairs is all hooliganism.

However, the officials who wield large and small powers are different.

The official position is a public instrument of the state, if you don't cut your braids, you have a clean heart and you must get out.

However, Yuzhu was clear in his heart, as long as he didn't like braids, sooner or later all braids would be cut off.

Yuzhu was based in Wuchang, and summoned senior officials from surrounding provinces one after another.

As for the governors, since they were all Manchus, without exception, they all took off their feathers and went home to eat their own food.

The governors, chief envoys and inspectors of Hunan, Anhui, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Guangdong and other provinces were called to Meiyuan in turn.

Dare to come, this is indeed a question.

Before coming here, whether to cut the braid or not is also a big problem.

Only after passing these two hurdles can one be qualified to continue to be an official under the new regime.

As an employment strategy for the transitional period, Yuzhu does not have so many confidantes, and fully replaces the existing bureaucrats, big and small.

For innovation, don't be impatient, let alone be too radical.

As long as the general direction is grasped, sooner or later the officials of the old dynasty will be completely replaced.

Yuzhu deliberately left the capital for one purpose, who dares to refuse?

When all the braids of the local officials are cut off and the dynasty is changed, it will be a matter of course.

At present, the first town and Jinwei town of the new army have all sailed southward, and are officially deployed on the line from Jingzhou to Wuchang.

If Hunan refuses to accept it, the army will march south to clean up the old and young in Changsha.

Sichuan dared not accept it, so it took Sichuan by force.

Don't take the rough clothes anymore, the horse will run as usual, the dance will continue to dance, and the wine will continue to drink.

If force is used and a lot of military expenditures are wasted, I'm sorry, and the bureaucratic system will be reformed directly, and all employees will be laid off.

All provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are fairly honest.

The governor, vassal, and censor with their braids all came to Wuchang to pay homage to Yuzhu.

Only, the governor of Sichuan dared to delay coming to Wuchang because of the height of the mountains and the distance of the emperor.

Yuzhu definitely couldn't be used to them anymore, and immediately ordered the first town stationed in Jingzhou to march westward against the Yangtze River and attack Sichuan.

It is worth mentioning that the entire city of Jingzhou has been disarmed by the first town, and the banner people inside have become unarmed civilians who have to support themselves.

The so-called hardcore crops have left them forever.

What Yuzhu didn't expect was that Yang Zongren, the governor of Guangdong who was farthest away, arrived the fastest.

Yang Zongren was born in the Han Army Banner in Fengtian outside the pass. His identity is roughly similar to that of the old Tong family before the flag was raised.

Yuzhu's ancestor was a proper Liaodong Han.

When raising the flag, Tong Guowei intentionally wrote in the booklet that his ancestors were from Manchuria with the Ming Dynasty in order to give money to the old Tong family.

In fact, even when Tong Guowei was alive, most of the Manchu nobles who knew the details looked down on him.

Whoever is in power is close to whomever, this is a common phenomenon, not surprising.

Yuzhu met Yang Zongren, the governor of Guangdong, in the West Flower Hall of Meiyuan.

After entering the door, Yang Zongren, who had already cut his braids, was surprised to find that Yuzhu was wearing a very strange dress.

Today's Yuzhu is wearing a Western-style top hat.

The jacket has a stand-up lapel with style buttons; three body panels, front placket, 5 exposed buttons; 4 patch pockets, one on each side of the chest, one on each side of the abdomen, each with a flap and 1 exposed button, and 2 on the top The cover of each bag is in the shape of an upside-down mountain, with a flat patch bag on the top and a tiger bag on the bottom, symmetrical left and right; there is a pen opening about 3cm away from the right stitch on the upper left bag cover.

"Governor of Guangdong, Minister Yang Zongren, respectfully welcome Wang Shangan."

Just as Yang Zongren slapped the horseshoe sleeves, he was about to kneel down to salute, but Yu Zhu snatched him first, "Don't kneel, come, let's shake hands."

Faced with Yuzhu's proactively extended right hand, Yang Zongren was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, swallowed dryly, stretched out his right hand tremblingly, and held it together with Yuzhu's hand.

The first lesson of civilized society, no need to kneel!

Whether it's shaking hands or kneeling down, it's just a formality.

In the era of imperial power, in order to highlight the unfathomable power of heaven, all subjects in the world must bow down to the emperor.

Yuan Xiangcheng knelt down every day to declare the order, so wouldn't he rebel?

Maybe it's because they have been trained to kneel for too long, and many people have forgotten the comfortable feeling of standing up.

Yuzhu is not talented, since he started, the kneeling ceremony must be gradually abolished, and it must be replaced by a bow ceremony or a handshake ceremony.

There is gold under the man's knees, he kneels up to heaven and earth, kneels down to his parents, other than that, no one kneels!
"Yang Qing, Gu is a bit strange. You have the longest journey, but why did you arrive first?" Yu Zhu greeted Yang Zongren with a smile.

Yang Zongren subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Yuzhu raising his hand.

"Returning to the king, the general trend of the world is mighty and mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I am not talented. Although I am dull, I dare not fall behind. I will tell you, my lord. Di Bao, I knew you were staying in Wuchang, so I went north by boat."

Yang Zongren's explanation greatly appreciated Yuzhu.

What kind of bird has food to eat?This is Yang Zongren.

Standing in line is definitely a profound knowledge.

If you can't see the situation clearly, once you make a wrong choice, it will be an abyss.

"Tianjue, sit down." Yu Zhu politely invited Yang Zongren to take his seat.

"How much is the price of rice in Guangzhou?" Yuzhu asked the price of rice as soon as he opened his mouth, and Yang Zongren knew it in his heart. This master is a big man who does practical things.

In his life, Yang Zongren has met many high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as the old emperor.

Objectively speaking, when we met, the old emperor was also very concerned about the sufferings of the people, but it was impossible to just ask the local rice price with just one mouth.

"Returning to the king, the price of rice in Guangzhou has been around three renminbi and one stone, and the fluctuation is very small..." Yang Zongren not only reported the price of rice, but also said several recent vegetable prices in Guangzhou.

Yuzhu is a very pragmatic old bureaucrat.

In Yuzhu's view, local officials must know the local rice price trend, which is the top priority.

Those who don't know the local rice price are foolish officials who don't understand the people's livelihood. Instead of being reused, they will be kicked out of the officialdom.

Guangzhou, that is the window city of foreign trade, Yuzhu asked Yang Zongren about the situation of overseas trade.

Originally, Yuzhu just asked casually.Unexpectedly, Yang Zongren answered fluently.

As soon as Yuzhu was happy, he kept Yang Zongren and accompanied him for lunch.

Because Yuzhu doesn't like to eat saliva, meals are divided into meals.

When Yuzhu ate alone, he usually had six dishes and one soup, and Yang Zongren had the same dishes in front of him.

Two dining tables, one on the left and one on the right, are placed opposite each other, and there is no distinction between priorities.

Yang Zongren took a look, among the six dishes in front of him, there were three meat and three vegetables, and the portion of each dish was not much.

The soup is a specialty of Honghu, wild root pork bone soup.

As the governor of Guangdong, Yang Zongren is not considered a corrupt official, but he is not an honest official either.

In Guangzhou, where commerce and trade are relatively developed, Yang Zongren can be regarded as a gourmet who has eaten all kinds of food.

Yang Zongren pays more attention to health preservation, and is very accustomed to the light eating habits of Guangdong, and does not like big fish and big meat.

Therefore, Yang Zongren did not touch a chopstick for the braised pork on the dinner table.

However, Yuzhu really likes braised pork without soy sauce.

Yang Zongren noticed that Yu Zhu had already eaten three pieces of braised pork in a row. He thought for a moment, maybe it was wrong to not move his chopsticks at all?
Picking up a piece of braised pork, Yang Zongren tasted it.

Well, it melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, it can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste.

Yang Zongren ate more refreshingly, and followed Yuzhu's example, eating three pieces of braised pork in a row.

After the meal, Yuzhu led Yang Zongren to take a walk around the lakeside to digest food.

On the way, when talking about the use of troops against Sichuan, Yang Zongren said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, when I went to Gansu from Pianyuan, I took the Chuanjiang waterway. Alas, there are strange rocks in the river. The ship will be destroyed."

It was not Yang Zongren's business that the new army sent troops to Sichuan.

However, Yang Zongren took the initiative to mention the danger of Chuanjiang.

In this era, whether it is going out of Sichuan or entering Sichuan, as long as you take a boat, you must pull the fibers on the shore.

However, on the Chuanjiang River, the biggest threat to shipping is the various strange rocks in the middle of the river.

Basically, even the old helmsman on the Chuanjiang River always sinks dozens of merchant ships every year.

To be honest, in the past, when gunpowder didn't work very well, Yuzhu really didn't dare to let the first town enter Sichuan against the Yangtze River.

Now, there are more than a dozen gunpowder engineers from England who followed the first town into Sichuan.

Although black gunpowder is far less powerful than modern gunpowder, as long as the quantity is large and handled properly, it is just a good time to take advantage of the good time to send troops to Sichuan, and remove the obstacles on the Chuanjiang River one by one.

As long as the entire Yangtze River is successfully sailed, no matter it is military value or economic value, it will be completely immeasurable!
