Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 572 The Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Heaven

At this time, Liu Wenzhong and the others dispatched all the people in their hands, Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and others also got on the train bound for Datong and Taiyuan, planning to go there in person.

The people sent out by Liu Wenzhong took the written posters and posted them all over Xuanzhen, clearly stating that Zhao Wen became the throne.

In addition to these, Liu Wenzhong also directly asked Daming Daily to publish the news, highlighting the matter on the front page of the newspaper.

When the news of Zhao Wen's accession to the throne spread throughout Xuanzhen, the people of Xuanzhen suddenly became excited.

At this time, they are even more excited than during the Chinese New Year. The streets and alleys are full of people discussing this matter.

In a teahouse, a middle-aged man wearing a foreign uniform was sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse.

This person is none other than Xue Zexi who had talked with Lu Xiangsheng before.

There were three or five friends sitting beside the table where Xue Zexi was sitting. Xue Zexi looked at these friends and said happily: "Master Chief Soldier should have been enthroned a long time ago, and now Lord Chief Soldier's territory is no less than that of the imperial court. It is still credit, it is completely enough.

Not to mention the pacification of the grassland and the recovery of Liaodong, just because our Xuan Town has been built so prosperously, the commander-in-chief should be enthroned as emperor.

I used to be from Tongzhou. Tongzhou is located in the outskirts of the capital. Logically speaking, this kind of place should be prosperous, but what?The result is exactly the opposite!

The people in Tongzhou are extremely poor, and most of the land in Tongzhou is owned by those nobles in the city. The local people can only be tenants for others, so how can they have their own land?

I, Xue Zexi, am also a Juren, but my family's property is only fifty acres of land, and this fifty acres of land can only be used for food and clothing throughout the year, and it is basically impossible to make money.

Moreover, there are quite a few Xungui's scumbags who come to my house every year to fight the autumn wind. These scumbags rely on Xungui's backing behind them, so they don't take us country gentry seriously, and they blackmail us a lot of money every year.

But what about our Xuan Town?In our Xuan Town, who would dare to do this?How many people dare to do this?Today's Xuanzhen, Haiqing, Heyan, officials work hard, this alone is not comparable to the imperial court! "

Xue Zexi was eloquent, talking about his own thoughts.

A middle-aged scholar sitting next to him knocked on the table, and said excitedly: "Brother Xue is right, besides these things, there are also things like trains, bicycles, and tricycles.

Especially the train, when there is no train, it takes a lot of effort for us to go to Longmen Fort, let alone go to Shanxi from here.

But since Mr. Chief Soldier got the train out, as long as the railway is repaired, where can we not go?Not to mention Longmen Fort, even if you go to Taiyuan Mansion for a stroll, you can just leave.

Before going to Shanxi, it took three to five days at least, and ten days at most, but now?How can it be so convenient when the morning arrives late?
There are also tricycles and bicycles, these two things are really good things for ordinary people.

Ordinary ordinary people, who want to pull food or goods, either push flatbed carts, or hire ox carts or donkey carts.

If people pull flatbed trucks, don't even think about loading more goods. If they are pulled by animals, the cost is not ordinary.

Ordinary households, who can raise cows and donkeys?If they want to use ox carts or donkey carts, they can only hire them.But the price of employment is not low. If they raise themselves, one animal will eat more than three people. Can ordinary people afford it?
But after this tricycle came out, it was different.

With tricycles, there is no need to hire ox carts or donkey carts. Although tricycles may not pull as much as ox carts and donkey carts, it saves money.

Tricycles don’t eat grass and don’t get sick. If you buy it once, as long as the tricycle is not broken, you will benefit for life.

It can be seen that tricycles are much more affordable than ox carts and donkey carts.In addition, the cement roads have been repaired all over Xuan Town, and it doesn't take much effort for a tricycle to walk on these roads.

And tricycles, like trains, were made by Mr. Zong Bing.

It is our blessing that our Xuan Town can have such a wise and powerful lord as the Chief Soldier.If Mr. Zong Bing is enthroned as emperor, it will be the blessing of the whole world.

Our commander-in-chief should be enthroned as emperor, and we should be enthroned as emperor! "

"That's right, what I'm talking about is that we wouldn't be where we are today without the Chief Soldier, long live the Chief Soldier!"

The people sitting around them listened to their conversation, applauded them non-stop, and finally shouted long live.

One person started, and it didn't take long for the people in the hall to cheer, and the cheers spread outside, and the people outside also cheered.

As the news of Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne spread farther and farther, the people in the entire Xuanzhen City finally cheered.

At this moment, they hoped so much that Zhao Wen could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

There is a huge piece of land less than twenty miles away from Xuanzhen Town outside the city. This piece of land was originally a wasteland, but was later developed into arable land by Zhao Wen.

The people who fled from Shanxi, Shaanxi were arranged here by Zhao Wen.

There are now more than 50 villages on this land, and the people in these villages live very happily here.

Although at the beginning, they had to pay a lot of taxes for planting these lands, but after they cultivated them for three years, these lands became their fields, and they were still the kind that could be passed on to their families.

Now they only need to pay a certain amount of food tax every year, and the rest is theirs.

Compared with the grain tax paid to the imperial court, the grain tax they paid could not be less, and there were no exorbitant miscellaneous taxes.

Today's them, everyone can wear clothes and don't have to worry about food, even if it's meat, they can eat it if they want.

Moreover, Zhao Wen also set up elementary schools for their children. There is one elementary school in every five villages. All school-age children can be sent to the elementary school.

The tuition fees in Mengxue are also unbelievably low, and they don't have to worry about tuition fees at all.

From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty or generation, Chinese people are very keen on reading.

These people have basically never read a book, and they don't know a word in this life.When Mengxue was opened, they sent their children to Mengxue without hesitation.

In their hearts, it was all thanks to Zhao Wen that they could have a good life now. In their eyes, as long as they followed Zhao Wen, they would surely be able to live a good life.

Without Zhao Wen, they would not have enough food and clothing today, and their children would not have the opportunity to go to school.

In the middle of a wheat field in a village, an official sent by Liu Wenzhong stood there, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and read aloud, "Since Mr. Zongbing moved into Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen..."

Around him, all the people in the village gathered around him, listening to his voice quietly.

The official praised Zhao Wen a lot, and finally said: "Master Zong Bing has the highest merits of the three emperors, and has surpassed the five emperors. Now that the Ming court is rotten, it is time for Mr. Zong Bing to save the common people in the world.

Therefore, the enthronement of Lord Zongbing as the emperor is already a matter of no delay, what do you think? "

"Impressions? We don't have any thoughts. Our current good life is given by Mr. Zongbing. It is only natural for Mr. Zongbing to be emperor, and we also support Mr. Zongbing as emperor!"

The village head stood beside the officials, shouting loudly.

"We resolutely support Lord Zongbing as the emperor, resolutely support!"

"Long live the Chief Soldier, long live the Chief Soldier!"

All of a sudden, the people surrounding the official shouted frantically.

"Sign up to the Wanmin Letter, requesting the Commander-in-Chief to be the emperor!" The official closed the document in his hand, and raised his arms with a frenzied expression.

"Yes, tens of thousands of people have written a letter, requesting that the commander-in-chief be the emperor!" The surrounding people all cheered.

Seeing this, the official took out a huge piece of rice paper from his arms with a look of excitement.

"Village head, find a table. I want to count your names and write the book of ten thousand people!" The official looked at the village head.

The village chief nodded, "My lord, I'll find you a table right away!"

As the village chief spoke, he took a few young and strong young men and ran towards the village, and it didn't take long for a table and stools to be brought in.

The official sat on the stool, spread the rice paper in his hand on the table, and then took out a brush, inkstone and an ingot of ink from his arms.

He asked someone to bring some water over, and after opening the ink, he asked the people in the village to line up one by one and count their names.

After the names were counted, everyone was asked to put their fingerprints on the Wanmin Book.

After finishing everything, he put the rice paper in his arms, rode on the bicycle he had placed on the edge of the wheat field, and headed towards Xuan Town.

The village chief sent the officials out of the village, and he looked at the departing officials with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Mr. Zongbing is going to be the emperor, and our good days are coming!" the village head said excitedly.

"That's right, the village chief. I thought we were just refugees fleeing from a disaster, and no matter where we went, we were not welcomed by others, but the commander-in-chief did not dislike us. He not only distributed food to us, but also distributed land to us.

Now the two children of my family are also enrolled in elementary schools. If they do well in their studies and pass the primary school in Xuanzhen, then they will not have to plan food in the fields in the future. "

A middle-aged man was standing next to the village head. He thought about everything he had come to Xuan Town, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally choked up.

"Master Zongbing is more kind than the Bodhisattva in the sky. Only he can be the emperor. If anyone dares not to let Mr. Zongbing become emperor, I will fight him hard!"

The man knelt down with a plop, facing Xuanzhen's direction, and kowtowed a few times heavily.

"I have nothing to thank Mr. Zongbing. I can only kowtow to Mr. Zongbing. Long live Mr. Zongbing!"

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, looked at Xuan Zhen excitedly, and kowtowed non-stop.

The people standing behind him also knelt down, followed behind him, and kowtowed in the direction of Xuanzhen.

These ordinary people have no great ambitions in their hearts. All they need is a full meal and a warm coat. Whoever can satisfy them can capture their loyalty.

Scenes like this are constantly being staged all over Xuan Town.

When the sun was gradually setting, Liu Wenzhong came to the gate of the General Military Mansion with the collected books of the people.

He was holding a thick stack in his arms, which was twenty centimeters thick.

Holding these things, he walked into the General Military Mansion.

"The Chief Soldier is in the study now, and the Chief Soldier has an order. If anyone wants to find the Chief Soldier, let them go to the study!"

As soon as he entered the General Military Mansion, Li Xiaosan walked over to him.

Liu Wenzhong nodded, and walked towards the study with the things in his hands.

As soon as Liu Wenzhong came outside the study, the guard standing outside the study opened the door to Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong walked into the study with the things in his arms.

"What are you holding?" Before Liu Wenzhong came in, Zhao Wen saw something in Liu Wenzhong's arms.

Liu Wenzhong hurriedly put the things in his hands on Zhao Wen's table, and bowed to Zhao Wen.

"My lord, these are the Wanmin books that have been posted in various places in Xuan Town today. These Wanmin books are all asking Lord Zong Bing to become emperor!" Liu Wenzhong pointed to the Wanmin books on the table and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen picked up one of these Wanmin books.

Looking around, I saw that it was covered with bright red handprints.

Zhao Wen put down the Wanmin book in his hand, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's not talk about this, you can do it first!"

Zhao Wen pointed to the chair in front of him and looked at Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong thanked him and sat down on the chair with half his buttocks.

"My lord, I wonder if my lord has thought about the name of the country, the name of the year, and the location of the capital?" Before Zhao Wen could speak, Liu Wenzhong asked first.

"I don't know if you have thought about these questions?" Zhao Wen didn't answer directly, but asked Liu Wenzhong instead.

Liu Wenzhong cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and said, "My lord, I think the name of the country should be the first character of Xuanzhen. My lord was born from here, and this character is also very suitable.

As for the reign title, Mr. Zongbing is wise and martial, with the highest merits of the three emperors and the virtues of the five emperors. I feel that the reign title of Shenwu is not bad. "

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong, smiled and shook his head.

"Your Excellency thinks it's inappropriate?" Liu Wenzhong asked hurriedly seeing Zhao Wen's appearance.

Zhao Wen replied: "The country title and year title are both inappropriate!"

"Does your lord have any good ideas?" Liu Wenzhong asked.

Zhao Wen took out a piece of rice paper, filled it with ink with a Langhao brush, and began to write on it.

After Zhao Wen finished writing, he put the brush on the pen holder on the table.

Liu Wenzhong looked at the rice paper, and saw the eight big characters "Huaxia Empire, the Kingdom of Heaven" written on it.

"What does your lord mean?" Liu Wenzhong felt that he had guessed something, but he was not sure.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think. I plan to set the country name as Huaxia, and as for the year name, let's call it Qiyuan!" Zhao Wen pointed to the eight big characters on the rice paper and said to Liu Wenzhong.

　Thanks to the post-80s 2000 soldiers for their rewards, and thank you for your support! ! !
