The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 58 The Governor decides to adopt
I remember that Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to lose when he left the capital.

Sun Chuanting felt that this emperor had cheated his ministers somewhat. (Actually, they are prepared)
Sun Chuanting thought about it, then looked at Pang Tiande and asked, "I heard that Tiande raised a stone lion in the Chenghuang Temple because the Son of God spoke?"

Pang Tiande nodded quickly and recounted what Fang Yu had entrusted him that day.

After finishing speaking, Pang Tiande hesitated again and reminded: "The Son of God seems not to like others mentioning his identity, so we usually call him Mr. Fang."

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and then nodded. This is completely understandable.

They have been exiled to the mortal world, so naturally they are unwilling to mention their status in heaven.

Just like Sun Chuanting squatting in prison, someone insists on calling him Governor of Baoding. Can he be happy?

Sun Chuanting thanked Pang Tiande for reminding him, and then strode out of the flower hall until he reached the gate of the county government office.

There was a commotion among the officials waiting at the door, and they quickly put on a respectful look.

Unfortunately, Sun Chuanting didn't even look at them. Instead, he pointed to the stone lions at the yamen gate and said to Min Wengong: "This pair of lions looks good."

Min Wen Gong:......

They were all working in the officialdom, and Min Wenggong immediately understood what the Governor-General meant.

Mr. Fang said that they should be "old and well carved." The pair at the Yamen Gate were certainly better than the ones in the City God's Temple.

Not only are the carvings more detailed, but they are also older. (established in the early Yuan Dynasty)

But from ancient times to the present, after visiting various states and counties in the Ming Dynasty, have you ever heard of any yamen giving away the stone lions at the door?
Min Wengong wanted to ask Sun Chuanting: When did you focus on them?

Well, whether Min Wen Gong is willing or not, the pair of stone lions cannot be saved.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to do it simply. Min Wen Gong quickly replied: "The Governor's eyes are like a torch. I think this pair of lions should be given to Mr. Fang, which is more suitable than the pair in the City God's Temple!"

Sun Chuanting stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, meaning: Your opinion is good, and I have decided to adopt it.

Then he reached out and summoned his own soldiers...

About an hour later, the gate of the county government office was empty, leaving only two big holes on the ground.

Pity these stone lions after more than 300 years of exposure to wind, sun and rain... Alas, Min Wen Gong stood at the door wearing an official uniform and sighed sadly.

He felt that Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, had somewhat deceived local officials.

Min Wen Gong had no objection to giving the stone lion to Mr. Fang, but why did he have to pry the stone lion from his yamen door? (The things belong to him, and the gift-giver was Sun Chuanting)
The pair in the Yizhou Yamen is good, and the pair outside the Huangji Hall of the Ming Dynasty Palace is also good!
No matter what Min Wen Gong thought, Master Sun Chuanting had already changed into regular clothes and brought a few soldiers to the outside of the city.

Behind him, there were more than thirty young men transporting two large stone lions.

Some of them were pushing from behind, while others were busy rolling the wood behind them.

After crossing the moat, Sun Chuanting's eyes were fixed on the iron city wall and he couldn't move his eyes away.

I wonder how long it took the entire Ming Dynasty to smelt iron to build such a city wall?

It would be great if all the iron in this city wall could be replaced with armor, knives, guns, and artillery.

Sun Chuanting's mind couldn't help but picture the scene where the Ming army transformed into a steel jungle and then massacred the rogue bandits and Jiannu.

In later generations, Sun Chuanting would be called Bairi YY.

But Sun Chuanting could only be left with the day YY. Now that the Ming Dynasty, the rogue bandits, and the Jiannu families were all in power, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army was completely at the bottom.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen's reign, the Ming army was still chasing rogue bandits all over the country. (Li Zicheng was beaten and only had 18 riders left)
How many years have passed?

Now Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were blatantly surrounding Kaifeng. The Ming army came to rescue them several times, but they were all beaten to a pulp.

Now I really can't figure out who the bandits are, because now the officers and soldiers are running as fast as they can, while the bandits are chasing after them.

Thinking about how powerful the bandits are, there are even more ferocious slaves outside the customs who are watching.The emperor also counted on his Sun Chuanting to turn the tide, but Sun Chuanting knew his own affairs.

He has no money, no food, no troops (Jingying: Sun Chuanting, what do you mean?), what can he do to turn the tide?

Ever since he took over as the Governor of the Three Sides, Sun Chuanting felt desperate.

It wasn't until he arrived in Laishui County today that he really saw hope of turning the tide.

The hope of Sun Chuanting is here, and the hope of tomorrow is also here!

Sun Chuanting was full of worries and walked closer and closer to the city wall.

"Huh? What words are written here?"

Among the colorful paint, Sun Chuanting discovered a line of writing on the top of the city wall.

It's just that only half of this line is left, as if it was originally written on the city wall, but someone tore it off along with the city wall ligature.

This is an iron city wall!

Sun Chuanting couldn't walk immediately. He knew that this was Pan Shenxian's handiwork.

Apart from being shocked by Pan Shenxian's magical power, he was even more puzzled: Why did Pan Shenxian tear up these words? Was it... was there some secret hidden in these words? "

Sun Chuanting stared at the half-characters with wide eyes, trying to recognize them through the incomplete radicals.

"Sir, do you want the team transporting the stone lions to stop?"

When some soldiers saw that the governor was standing still, they came over to ask for instructions.

As you know, it is best not to stop when transporting heavy objects with a rolling log, otherwise it will easily fall down if you start again.

"Go away and don't disturb me!"

Sun Chuanting scolded without moving his eyes.

This character is a bit incomplete, and the style of the characters is also different from the modern Ming Dynasty characters. Others would definitely not be able to recognize it.

But who is Sun Chuanting?

He entered a private school at the age of six, won the first prize in the examination at the age of 13, and became a Jinshi at the age of 27.

So he kept reading and guessing, and after a while he finally confirmed that the line should read: Sandwiched Cranberry Round Biscuits.

"What do you mean?" Sun Chuanting had a question mark on his forehead. (Biscuits originate from French)

He recited these words silently several times, but he had no idea what they meant.

Fang Yu was watching a group of carpenters working on a waterwheel in the gun shop.

At this time, someone from the security team came over and reported, "Sir, there is someone outside who says his name is Sun Chuanting, and he is bringing two big stone lions with him."

"Uh..." Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. Why did such an important official like Sun Chuanting come to the door on his own?

When Min Wen Gong came here for the first time, he sent several groups of people to inform him.

Fang Yu quickly told Lao Liu: "After you finish building the waterwheel, let me take a look at it. I'll make the next one if I think it's good."

After hearing this, Lao Liu quickly agreed. He has now put on new clothes and looks much more energetic.

It wasn't that Fang Yu didn't believe in their technology, but that this waterwheel was a patchwork of ancient lathes and later waterwheels + windmills. He was afraid that he might have forgotten something due to negligence.

After speaking, Fang Yu quickly walked towards the city gate, where the famous Old Sun Tou wanted to greet him no matter what.
