Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 426 Shi Kefa Enlightenment, Master and Disciple Break Up!
Zhang Haogu's train of thought is already very clear.

Today I can sell watermelons, and tomorrow I can sell you glass.

Anyway, it's all about making money.

A major problem now is coal resources. Whether it is firing glass, steam engines, or iron smelting, coal is needed.

However, the advantage is that the capital still has coal resources, mainly anthracite, with a coal resource of 100 billion tons, a reserve of 23 billion tons, and an annual output of more than 600 million tons. layers, with a total thickness of 3 to 4 meters, of which the main mining coal seam is 6 meters thick, with an average thickness of 30 meters.

As long as it is utilized, the capital can still support a heavy industry center.

Anyway, you still need to make money first.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Master, tell me, when will I hold this banquet?"

Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, Shi Kefa also has his own views on the governance of the Loess Plateau. I think it's better to wait until Shi Kefa comes back. There are still many things I want to have a good chat with Shi Kefa!"

"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Let him go to Datong Academy to report first, and later, I will have a good chat with him!"

Shi Kefa returned to the capital.

However, it is clear that Shi Kefa is not very welcome in the capital, and Shi Kefa is not treated like Zhang Haogu.

After returning to Datong Academy to report, Shi Kefa went to see Zuo Guangdou.

After all, he is still his own teacher.

Although Zuo Guangdou was very dissatisfied with Shi Kefa's killing spree in Shaanxi, but after all, this was still his most beloved apprentice, facing Shi Kefa's return, he still greeted Shi Kefa a little bit.

But when he saw Shi Kefa, Zuo Guangdou couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

When Shi Kefa came, he became much thinner, his footsteps were steady, and the skin on his face was much darker. He could not be said to be a young man in the past, but he was also considered a well-off family.

But this thinness is different from when he left the capital. At that time he was slender, but now, although he is thin and thin, he feels that his body is full of strength.

In this cold winter, the north wind howled, blowing his linen Confucian shirt up, which was somewhat icy cold, but his body was as straight as a javelin, and his eyes were even more lingering. , There is such a trace of decisive courage.

Zhang Haogu tossed Shi Kefa for more than half a year, experienced the attack of Nurhachi, and worked hard in the fields, which allowed him to learn a lot of knowledge that he had never been exposed to.

Farming books, how to organize the masses, how to mobilize the experience of the masses.

Also, how do you face your own heart, what kind of person do you want to be, and if you really want to benefit the people, then you must understand the contradiction between the people and the gentry.

Fortunately, in Yongding County, after all, it is the place where the new policy was first launched. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yongding County is the richest county in Ming Dynasty, but after arriving in Shaanxi, it is the beginning of Shi Kefa's transformation. .

Shi Kefa really experienced a strange world. He learned how to ride a horse and Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi. He chatted with the common people and knew their sufferings. The concubine is eating hot pot and singing songs, while the people on the other side are starving to death.

Every year, when their crops had increased a little, the landlords would come and increase their rents.

Shi Kefa suddenly understood what Zhang Haogu did.

It is absolutely impossible to rely on words and affectionate means to solve these gentry. Only violence and bloodshed can solve these problems.

He remembered a sentence he had read in Datong Academy before. The New Deal is not about treating guests to dinner, writing essays, or painting and embroidering. It cannot be so elegant, calm, polite, gentle, courteous, and frugal. The New Deal is bound to be bloody.

In the midst of suffering, Shi Kefa became enlightened.

He grew up, and he started to grow at an astonishing speed. He began to quickly find the problem, and he also knew how to quickly win over the people.

Divide the fields equally and take away the food that the gentry said.

He even deliberately allowed the gentry to join forces in order to wipe them all out.

Then, Shi Kefa raised the butcher's knife without hesitation, and swung the butcher's knife fiercely at the whole of Shaanxi.

Although Shi Kefa also knew that he would inevitably suffer a lot of criticism if he waved his butcher knife, but Shi Kefa didn't care.

If these bastards are not allowed to bleed, then the people of Shaanxi will bleed, and more people will bleed.

Shi Kefa walked to the door and saw his mentor Zuo Guangdou.

Shi Kefa took a deep breath, and then bowed: "I have seen my teacher!"

Zuo Guangdou looked at Shi Kefa, took a deep breath, and said, "What good did you do?"

Shi Kefa naturally knew what Zuo Guangdou was talking about, he said slowly: "Men, the student did nothing wrong!"

Zuo Guangdou: "???"

Shi Kefa witnessed suffering in Shaanxi, but learned many theories in Datong Academy, and his experience in Shaanxi allowed Shi Kefa to combine what he had learned with his experience.

His heart is extremely firm and unshakable.

What I want to benefit are the gentry, or the common people, those who face the loess and their backs to the sky, and those hungry victims who look like walking corpses.

"What did you say?" Zuo Guangdou almost doubted his ears. He never expected that these words came from Shi Kefa's mouth. He actually thought that he had done nothing wrong.

"Do you know that you killed more than 3000 people in Shaanxi!" Zuo Guangdou raised his beard, "Do you know that many people in the capital want to kill you? What kind of ecstasy soup has made you look like this!"

Shi Kefa said slowly: "Teacher, Zhang Haogu didn't infuse me with ecstasy soup. He was just a student. The students went to see and think for themselves. The students have witnessed the suffering. These more than 3000 people deserve to die. They invaded the land and killed them." People, people are so innocent, after a year of hard work, they can’t even get enough to eat, is this fair? It’s not fair!!”

and so!
Shi Kefa said slowly: "The students didn't do anything wrong, they acted recklessly, they harmed the people, and what the students did was nothing more than doing justice for the heavens!"

"I..." At this moment, Zuo Guangdou didn't know what to say.

He felt that there seemed to be a huge gap between himself and Shi Kefa, and it was already impossible to communicate at all.
