Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 682 Wu Youxing

It turned out that when Zhao Wen took Daizhou City, he sent someone to find Sun Chuanting.

When Zhao Wen was attacking Daizhou City, Sun Chuanting was at home.At this time in history, it was the time when Sun Chuanting was idle at home, so Zhao Wen wondered if he could find Sun Chuanting.

Unfortunately, when the people sent by Zhao Wen found Sun Chuanting's residence, there was only an empty house left.

The people Zhao Wen sent out searched Daizhou City for a long time, but they still couldn't find Sun Chuanting.

Later, when Zhao Wen knew that Sun Chuanting was appointed governor of the three provinces by Chongzhen, he gave up his plan to find Sun Chuanting.Then he found Sun Chuanting's cousin and showed Sun Chuanting's house.

Zhao Wen did this because he wanted to get Sun Chuanting into his own hands one day.

Sun Chuanting's cousin told Sun Chuanting what happened before in detail.

"What did Bandit Zhao do after entering the city?" Sun Chuanting followed behind his cousin and asked.

Sun Chuanting's cousin stopped, his face changed slightly.

He turned his head and said with a gloomy face: "Chuan Ting, you thief Zhao are talking about His Majesty today?"

"Your Majesty, he is just a traitor, a traitor through and through!" Sun Chuanting said.

"Chuan Ting, I know you are a loyal minister, but you have to understand one thing. Your Majesty's policy and attitude towards the people are not comparable to the previous Ming Dynasty.

Let me tell you this, when His Majesty's troops entered the city, the people in the city were terrified.Because at that time, the people in the city didn't know what kind of person His Majesty was, nor did they know who His Majesty's soldiers and horses were.

However, the fear of the people in the city is unnecessary.After His Majesty's soldiers and horses entered the city, they did not do anything to harm the people at all, and even helped clean up the city's hooligans.

We thought it was done, but who would have thought that after a short time, His Majesty would start distributing food, winter supplies, fields, seeds, and cattle to the people in the city.

For the grain grown, no tax is charged for the first two years, and it is only collected from the third year, and only [-]% of the land tax is charged per mu.Although the tax is similar to before, the summer tax is only collected once a year, and the autumn tax is not collected.

There are also those miscellaneous taxes such as poll taxes, and they are not collected at all.Even when corvée is levied on weekdays, a certain amount of compensation will be given.

Hey, when I was in the Ming Dynasty, I never had such a good life.Nowadays, in the city of Daizhou, the common people can eat enough and wear warmth, and there is still a lot of money left throughout the year.

As for those corrupt officials, none of them exist.The Department of Integrity and Integrity in Daizhou City, if anyone dares to commit corruption, report it directly.

Last year, a corrupt official was beheaded by the county court. "Sun Chuanting's cousin stood in front of Sun Chuanting, talking word by word about the changes in Daizhou City today.

"The evil gentry and tyrants in the city were also cleared by His Majesty, and the land in their hands was distributed to the local people. As for those gentry with good reputation and kindness to others, His Majesty did not deal with them too much, as long as it is their own things , His Majesty did not move.

You must have seen it when you entered the city. Today's Daizhou City is simply not comparable to before.

After the officials sent by His Majesty took over Daizhou City, these officials started to tidy up Daizhou City, and transported cement, bricks and tiles to Daizhou City.In less than a year, Daizhou City has changed a lot.

Go ask now, do the people in the city still remember the Ming Dynasty?In today's Daizhou City, which commoner doesn't say that His Majesty is good?
A few days ago, His Majesty sent someone over, saying that a power plant and some factories would be built outside Daizhou City.Does the power plant know?Have you read the newspaper?After the power plant, there was the electric light.Although I have never seen what this electric light is, the newspaper said that this kind of thing does not need fire, and it is very bright, which is much cheaper than using candles.

After the factories outside Daizhou City are established, workers will be recruited in Daizhou City, and then the people in the city will be able to work inside.Maybe the salary is not as good as that of Xuanzhen, but it is still a lot.

The son of the old Sun family took his daughter-in-law to work in Xuanzhen before. I heard that he runs a night market in Xuanzhen, and now he can earn more than ten silver dollars a month.This is all white money. With money, life will be prosperous.

In the past, who would have dared to think of such a day?Do you dare to think?We ordinary people, no matter who is the emperor, as long as it can make us live a good life, that is a good emperor.

Now His Majesty has allowed us to live a good life, and it is the kind of good life that has never been lived before. I forbid you to disrespect Your Majesty. "

Sun Chuanting's cousin was full of smiles, and when he mentioned the changes in Daizhou City, he was like a few Jiazhen, and he started talking to Sun Chuanting.

But at the end, Sun Chuanting's cousin's expression changed, and he looked at Sun Chuanting with dissatisfaction.

Listening to these words, Sun Chuanting sighed in his heart: "The great power of the Ming Dynasty is gone. Even if Zhao Wen died suddenly, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to take these places down."

Sun Chuanting was scolded by his cousin like a grandson. Sun Chuanting wanted to refute several times, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

These people don't have those profound understandings of righteousness. They value their own lives the most. As long as their lives are good, everything will be fine.

To some extent, these common people have become Zhao Wen's most staunch supporters.Because Zhao Wen brought them a life they never dared to imagine before.

"Chuan Ting, I heard that you led troops to fight against His Majesty before? Let me tell you, Your Majesty is not something that the court's scattered soldiers can deal with.

That's enough, let's not talk about this, I don't care where you came back from, and I don't care what you did before, in a word, you can't be disrespectful to His Majesty.

You haven't been home for a long time, now you go home and live here.I clean here every day, and your family can stay here tonight. "

Sun Chuanting's cousin brought Sun Chuanting to the hall.

"If you come back today, then I will go back. If there is anything in the future, just let me know.

Your younger brother was admitted to university last year, and he will be able to graduate in three years.I heard that he is valued by Mr. Song of the research institute, and he is studying with him in the research institute, and he may become a high-ranking official in the future. "Sun Chuanting's cousin babbled for a long time, and then left Sun Chuanting's house after explaining the matter.

Sun Chuanting sat in the hall, looking at the clean yard outside the hall, with a complicated expression.

Sun Shirui stood beside Sun Chuanting. He looked at his father and said, "Your Majesty, I actually think Zhao Wen is a good emperor!"

"Hmph!" Sun Chuanting turned around and gave Sun Shirui a glare. "Good emperor? What does a rebel say about a good emperor?"

"But Emperor Taizu Gao is also..."

Sun Shirui wanted to say that emperor Gao, the great ancestor, was also a traitor, but Sun Chuanting stared at him and suppressed the second half of the sentence.

"Clean up well. After staying on the train for so long, let's rest early today." Sun Chuanting left a sentence, and then walked out.

In the next few days, Sun Chuanting went around Daizhou City, and Sun Chuanting went around Daizhou City inside and outside.

The more he walked around Daizhou City, the colder Sun Chuanting's heart became, and the less confident he was in the imperial court's recovery of these places.

……

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study, looking at Wang Qi standing in front of him.

"Wang Qi, I came to you today because I have a matter for you."

"Please show your Majesty!" Wang Qi looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wendao: "It's not a big deal, I want you to go to Nanzhili Suzhou Mansion to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Wang Qi looked puzzled, he really couldn't figure out who he was looking for, and even asked him to do it himself.

"This man's name is Wu Youxing, and he has a good character. He is a doctor. He should be very famous in Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture. This man is about 40 years old now. As for what he looks like, I don't know.

This person is extremely important to me.After you find it, I don't care what method you use, um, I will get this person to Xuan Town. "Zhao Wen said slowly.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, the plague was rampant throughout the Ming Dynasty, spreading across the north and south of the river, and the area was far larger than before.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: The great epidemics in Zhili, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places in the north and south, flourished in May and June, with more than a hundred houses in a lane, no one was immune, and dozens of families in one family, and no one survived.

This plague dealt a critical blow to Daming, who was already in trouble.

In fact, since the first year of Chongzhen, there have been different degrees of epidemics in various places in Ming Dynasty, but the one in Chongzhen's 15th year was more typical and larger in scale.

When the epidemic was rampant in the 15th year of Chongzhen, a doctor named Wu Youxing appeared.

In the early stage of the epidemic, he informed the local officials to make preparations in advance, but his words were light, and the local officials simply ignored him.

After the epidemic came up, he personally diagnosed and treated patients and devoted himself to research.

After a long period of research, he boldly put forward the theory of "plague qi" causing disease, and finally wrote the book "Plague Theory", creating the earliest treatment of plague, which is a great pioneering work in the world.

He was also the first doctor to propose "wearing a mask", and his contribution is of great importance in history.

But such a powerful person, after Jiannu entered the customs, because he didn't want to shave his hair and change his clothes, Jiannu beheaded him.

It has not been 15 years since we arrived in Chongzhen, and Zhao Wen, who has been rampant in Chongzhen for 15 years, cannot guarantee that it will not happen.

Moreover, according to Zhao Wen's knowledge, during the reign of Chongzhen, various epidemic diseases were rampant, and epidemic diseases occurred in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili and other places.

Although Zhao Wen's control over the city's environment is relatively strict, just in case, it's better to get this person into his hands in advance.

Although Zhao Wen is not a medical student, Zhao Wen of later generations also knows some basic knowledge about medicine. Zhao Wen felt that if he got this person in his hands and added what he knew, it might make "The Theory of Plague" even worse. This book came out early.

Zhao Wen is not a god either. He dare not say he is proficient in engineering, but he has a deep understanding of it.But when it comes to medicine, Zhao Wen is close to blind.

Wang Qi frowned, "Your Majesty, is this the only information? Are there any portraits or anything like that? This information is a bit simple. Nanzhili is densely populated. If you search for a needle in a haystack like this, it will be very difficult. "

"If there is any difficulty, solve it. If it is not difficult, will Zhen find you? This person is very important to me, and even the whole world, so we must find it as soon as possible.

As for the funds for your activities, I will notify the Finance Department and prepare them for you.Remember, before we attack Nanzhili, we must find this person. "

Zhao Wen looked at Wang Qi, his face full of doubts.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Seeing that Zhao Wen had made up his mind, Wang Qi couldn't say anything more, so he had to accept the order.

After Wang Qi walked out of the palace, he came to the Si Yamen in front of the palace.

There are two Zhenfusi under the Dianqiansi, namely Nanzhen Fusi and Beizhen Fusi.

Among them, Nanzhen Fusi supervises all officials in the court.They also only have supervisory powers and do not have the right to arrest and interrogate.

Therefore, compared to Jin Yiwei, Nanzhen Fusi's threat to the officials is relatively small.

As for the Fusi of Beizhen, this department deals with illegal affairs in the front of the palace, and to put it bluntly, it supervises the Fusi of Nanzhen.

The spies sent by Zhao Wen to various places were previously under the management of the Dianqian, but were later separated by Zhao Wen and put under the management of the Military Academy.

Originally, Zhao Wen wanted to find Wu Youxing through spies in Nanzhili, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan.

If these people are allowed to look for Wu Youxing, it will slow down their speed of collecting all kinds of information.Instead of this, it is better to redeploy the manpower.

Wang Qi came to the Yamen, summoned the main subordinates, and explained Zhao Wen's arrangement.

Early the next morning, Wang Qi mobilized more than a hundred people.

In the afternoon, they took the appropriation from the Ministry of Finance and headed south.

As time goes by day by day, amidst the last hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival, the New Year has completely passed.

Zhao Wen's two sons are already full moon, and Zhao Wen has also named them.

Li Xiaoying's birth name was Zhao Mingze, and Hai Lanzhu's birth name was Zhao Mingrui.

After the new year, Zhao Mingyu officially started to study.

Zhao Wen specially vacated a courtyard in the palace to teach his son.

Zhao Wen had planned to establish a royal school before, but now because there is only this one student, he put down this idea for the time being.

When Zhao Wen seemed to be fine, he liked to walk around Xuan Town in casual clothes.

On this day at noon on No. 18 of the first month, Zhao Wenzheng was planning to go out for a stroll. Before he could leave the palace, Liu Wenzhong hurried to the Imperial Study Room with a memorial sent from Shaanxi.

Zhao Wen was changing clothes in the bedroom, and after hearing the news, he hurried to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Just as Zhao Wen walked into the imperial study, Liu Wenzhong hurried up to meet him before he could greet him, and said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter!"

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by the army that has not yet withdrawn from Shaanxi. Originally, the army's memorial was sent to the Military Academy, but the things mentioned in this memorial have nothing to do with the military, so it was sent to the Senate. Your Majesty, according to According to the memorial, there may be a major epidemic in Shaanxi!" Liu Wenzhong held the memorial with an anxious expression on his face.

Zhao Wen was taken aback, his face changed drastically, and he thought to himself: "What's going on, I just asked Wang Qi to find Wu Youxing a few days ago, why is there a major epidemic in Shaanxi now? Now Shaanxi officials have started to send more, want to It will take a lot of time to finish all the dispatches, and there is a major epidemic in Shaanxi at this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."
