Chapter 247 The defector
But Feng'er had just taken a few steps out when a strong man grabbed his sleeve. When he turned around and looked back, Feng'er was so shocked that his mouth opened wide!
"Brother Zhao!!!"

She looked behind Zhao Qionnian again: "Brother Danuo! Brother Hutou! God, why are you here?!"

Zhao Qionian raised the corners of his lips, obviously unable to conceal his excitement, "Sister! Why are you in Xingyuan Mansion?!"

The two people just wanted to hug each other, but after all, men and women are different. Feng'er was shocked but also happy, "Let's go back and talk. This is not the place to talk!"

Zhao Qiaonian also wanted to have a chat with Feng'er, so he quickly packed up his things and followed Feng'er.

Then Feng'er saw the people in the carriage and said blankly: "Master Sun?"

Feng'er left early and didn't know about the love-hate relationship between Sun Qingchen and Xu Zhenying. She didn't even know that Sun Qingchen had deserted Xu Zhenying and went to the capital to complain. When she left, Sun Qingchen was still unwilling to surrender to the thieves and was beaten every day. Forced to follow Xu Zhenying.

But how did Zhao Qiaonian and Sun Qingchen get together?

Sun Qingchen was a little embarrassed when he saw Feng'er, but he thought that he might have to work under them in the future. Xu Zhenying's political team was all young, which meant that his superiors were all younger than him. Since he had decided to become a thief , naturally I had to adjust my mentality as soon as possible, so I tried my best to be gentle and said, "Miss Feng'er, are you okay?"

Feng'er was stunned, "Why is Mr. Sun in Xingyuan Mansion?"

A low cough of dissatisfaction came from the car curtain, and Sun Qingchen had no choice but to introduce Mr. Lin next to him: "Feng'er, this is Mr. Lin, the head of the literati in the Zhou Dynasty, and the 16th year of the Zhou Dynasty. liquor."

Mr. Lin stroked his gray beard, kept looking at Feng'er, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, I was kidnapped by them."

Tied here?
Are you sure?
Look at you, you are not restrained, you are in a special carriage, and you are accompanied by a child who takes care of your food and daily life. You are said to have been kidnapped. No matter how you look at it, you can’t believe it?
Speaking of this, Sun Qingchen felt a headache.

Now that I have decided to become a thief, I naturally have to communicate well with Zhao Qionian and the others. If we are destined to go to Jinzhou Mansion together, we can communicate with each other and open up the situation in the officialdom in the future.

Therefore, when Mr. Lin caught up with him alone with a child, Sun Qingchen told Zhao Qiaonian the identity of Mr. Lin, the causes and consequences, and the shock that Mr. Lin would bring to the court.

The main reason was that Mr. Lin was old and a good thief. He actually concealed his whereabouts and chased him directly. He also insisted that they were going to rebel and kidnapped him from his home and sacrificed him to the rebels.

Sun Qingchen almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Listen to how shameless this literary master is.

He wanted to rebel, but in order to get rid of his wife and children in Bianjing City, he actually put all the blame on his head, Sun Qingchen.

Faced with this situation of pros and cons, Zhao Qionian was firm and directly made the decision for Xu Zhenying.

That is to take Mr. Lin to join him!

His reasons are also strong.

Zhao Qiaonian left midway, and Sun Qingchen stabbed him in the back. Both of them turned around as prodigal sons, and the timing of their defection was a bit bad.

It's just that Xu Zhenying is a generous person and shouldn't care about these details, but the two of them don't want to just go empty-handed. It seems that she is the icing on the cake after Xu Zhenying becomes big.

If you take Mr. Lin with you, at least you won't appear to be empty-handed.

As for the shock caused by this incident, I believe Xu Zhenying can handle it with his ability.

Zhao Qiaonian happily took Mr. Lin into his arms.

Xu Zhenying, who was thousands of miles away, was already sneezing again and again.

Feng'er couldn't understand the quarrel between them. When she heard that Mr. Lin was a great figure in the literary world, she immediately felt crazy in her heart. Should such a good laborer be captured by the city lord?
Mr. Lin was also observing Feng'er.

The trouble this girl caused in the government office just now was really not simple.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that they are not trying to redress grievances, they are clearly taking the opportunity to publicize and build momentum!

There must be something strange happening in Xingyuan Mansion!
Okay, as soon as they arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, they encountered such a pool of muddy water. How could this not make people's blood boil!

Zhao Qionnian had already noticed that the situation was tense and knew that this was not the place to talk, so he urged Feng'er, "Let's go first, and we'll talk when we get back!"

Feng'er naturally led them to the cotton farm on the outskirts of the city. Along the way, some women curiously came to ask Feng'er who was behind the carriage, but they were all politely rejected and beaten by Feng'er. The women were a little uneasy and gave birth to a child. Thoughts of leaving.

As soon as they returned to Zhuangzi, Feng'er told them to work hard and not think about the rest.

The women felt a little relieved and went into the house in twos and threes to do their work.

Everyone dismounted, Feng'er nodded, and Zhao Qionian brought five people, all of whom were the escorts who escorted them to Qianzhou at that time. Sun Qingchen and his wife, Mr. Lin and the book boy, there were nine people in total.

The others should all be family members, totaling at least fifty or sixty people.

Feng'er invited people into the study. They put down their bags and ordered the boy to bring tea and water. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and dared to sit down and talk.

The closer it was to Jinzhou Mansion, Zhao Qionnian was eager to know the situation. He asked Sun Qingchen. Sun Qingchen had been away for two or three months and had no idea about the situation in Jinzhou Mansion. But now he met him again in Xingyuan Mansion. Feng'er, I have to say it was God's will.

The first person to speak was Mr. Lin. He had already turned around several times while everyone was repairing. He was really curious about everything, "Miss Feng'er, why do you plant so many trees?" cotton?"

Feng'er respected Mr. Lin very much, and although Mr. Lin didn't say it clearly, it was not difficult to infer from the attitudes of Zhao Qiaonian and Sun Qingchen that Mr. Lin wanted to defect.

Feng'er's heart became even more intense when she thought that there were actually high-ranking officials in the DPRK who were willing to defect.

"To be honest, this is the property of our city lord. This year, almost all the money she made from selling soap was invested in this cotton field. With the trust of Miss Qi Er, she also planted a lot with our city lord. Now we have summoned the women Come and make cotton clothes and trousers for sale." Sun Qingchen suddenly realized that he couldn't hide his surprise: "That's why I saw that the thick clothes on the shelf were cotton clothes! This thing is very wonderful. If our soldiers can wear these cotton clothes in winter. , no longer afraid of the Tatars in the north.”

After Sun Qingchen finished speaking, he felt a little enlightened.

For a moment, he forgot that he had joined the rebellion.

From now on, everyone in the Zhou Dynasty would be his enemy?
But Mr. Lin was startled, "Girl, you said that the soap business belongs to your city lord? The soap that was sold throughout the Zhou Dynasty is your city lord's business?"

Sun Qingchen also reacted at this time.

What, that soap that costs a hundred yuan for a small piece in Bianjing City is Xu Zhenying's business?
Before, he had wondered who could come up with such an ingenious recipe. Even at that time, he thought that Xu Zhenying was also such a talented person. Who knew that in the end, it would still be her industry?

Feng'er said with a smile: "Although saying this in front of Mr. Lin seems to be a trick, my city master's ability to make money is really unique in the world."

Zhao Bantou understood this very well. The whole room was filled with his own people, so he had no scruples when speaking, "Yes, Miss Xu once made a hundred thousand taels in one night. And it was pure profit!"

Sun Qingchen had to echo: "Speaking of Xu Zhenying...oh, no, it's the city lord's ability to make money, which is really unmatched."

Mr. Lin took a deeper view, "Does that mean that your city lord attaches great importance to commercial development? You don't even emphasize agriculture and suppress business?"

"The city lord said that when the four words scholar, farmer, industry and commerce were first proposed, it was not a hierarchy, but a distinction between types of work. As for the status classification of these four types of work, it all depends on the development stage and needs of a dynasty. If the country is poor, it will We must vigorously develop agriculture and improve the status and benefits of farmers. If the country is rich, it should develop commerce, so that money can be made money, the entire market must be active, money must be circulated, the economy can be revitalized, and social wealth and people can continue to increase.”

Even though he had heard Xu Zhenying's astonishing economic theories, Sun Qingchen now looked at them without his previous prejudices, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Mr. Lin was obviously shocked by Xu Zhenying's idea of ​​​​learning and applying according to the actual situation of the country.

Throughout the ages, no one has ever mentioned such a statement.

People today prefer that the overall wealth of society remains unchanged. If the national treasury is rich, the people will be poor; if the national treasury is empty, the people will be rich. The two are contradictory to each other, and one is ebbing off the other, which means that if you want to safeguard the interests of the family, you have to seize the interests of the people, and it is inevitable to compete with the people for profits in the end.

Are the thoughts of aliens here?
So avant-garde, so bold, yet so refreshing!
Just hearing a few words from that great man, Mr. Lin couldn't help but feel his scalp numb and his whole body trembling. He just wished he could see that person immediately and have a hearty orthodox debate with her!
However, Feng'er asked Zhao Qiaonian: "Brother Zhao, the city lord said that you went to Ye County to look for someone, but were later dispersed by bandits. Why are you now in Xingyuan Mansion?"

Zhao Qiaonian, Daniu and others looked embarrassed. They were all comrades who had fought together. Zhao Qiaonian did not bother to hide it: "To be honest, we actually left the team at that time. At that time, we were thinking that Jinzhou Prefecture was too chaotic, how could our brothers I suddenly lost my mind and decided to go back on my own. Sister Xu was considerate and gave us a reason to cover up, otherwise we would really have no shame in seeing you!"

Daniel also felt guilty and said, "We also heard that Sister Xu had rebelled in Jinzhou Mansion, so we thought of coming here to defect to her."

Feng'er quickly smiled and said: "What's the matter? If you come to join the city lord, the city lord will be very happy. She still misses you all the time. It's not like you don't know the city lord's affection!"

This sentence undoubtedly gave a dose of reassurance to this group of missionaries who had fled thousands of miles away.

"It's just that. I've been exploring business routes outside, and I haven't been back to Jinzhou Mansion for almost a year. I don't know what it's become like there. I heard that the city lord came up with some vaccinia vaccine and cement roads. The women who come here talk about it every day, which makes me feel itchy. I just wish I could get my wings and go back to Jinzhou Mansion to take a look. "

"Vaccinium against cowpox? Concrete road?" Lin Lao's eyes couldn't help but shine when he came into contact with new things!

Sun Qingchen knew something about it, and he stood up in shock, "Has the cowpox vaccine really been developed?"

Feng'er nodded, "I heard from the women from Jinzhou Prefecture that the cowpox vaccine has been widely promoted in Jinzhou Prefecture!"

Mr. Lin was dissatisfied and interrupted, "Hey, what exactly is this cowpox vaccine? Can anyone explain it first? You have to worry about me, old man, right?"

Sun Qingchen couldn't hide his excitement, "Mr. Lin, the world can be saved! I didn't expect the city lord to actually do it! I thought that what she said was beyond human power, but who would have expected that they actually did it!"

Seeing Mr. Lin's wide eyes, Feng'er had no choice but to explain quickly: "The cowpox vaccine is said to prevent smallpox. As long as you get vaccinated once, you will never be infected with smallpox in your life!"

"What?" Mr. Lin felt his scalp numb instantly. "Throughout the past dynasties, nearly a thousand years, countless predecessors and doctors have worked hard, but they have never really solved smallpox. Girl, are you sure which vaccine can prevent and cure smallpox?"

Feng'er nodded and shook his head again, "Mr. Lin, I have not been vaccinated and don't know the specific situation. But the city lord's letter said that the cowpox vaccine was first discovered because people who had been exposed to cowpox would not get smallpox, so I thought There is a certain connection between cowpox and smallpox. People at Lan County Medical College organized all the doctors to study the cowpox vaccine day and night. Later, they found that as long as a person has been infected with cowpox, which has a milder disease, the body will automatically retain its memory. The next time a more ferocious smallpox attacks the body, our body will activate its defenses and attack the smallpox disease vigorously. Therefore, it seems to cure smallpox, but it is actually two diseases: cowpox and smallpox. Similarly, the body recognizes the smallpox virus and prevents it from entering again."

This explanation naturally shocked everyone present.

Mr. Lin even thought that this inconspicuous-looking Feng'er would give a reason for the power of gods and demons, but she turned out to be very clear and reasonable.

This reminded Mr. Lin of two words frequently mentioned in Xu Zhenying's textbooks.

Logic, science.

Logic is the strong connection within a transaction.

Science is the true reflection of the objective laws of things.

There are no monsters, no strange powers and chaos, just like when she explained that the essence of the earth dragon's turning over is nothing more than the movement of tectonic plates, she was as indifferent, as rational, and as beautiful!

Also shocked were Zhao Qionian and the others.

They have always known that Xu Zhenying is not a thing in the pond, but look at now, these things are beyond the understanding of the world. This is not a thing in the pond, it is clearly a flying fairy from the sky!
Sun Qingchen asked again: "What about the cement road? What is that?"

"A cement road?" Feng'er had never seen it before. She smiled slyly, "I heard from the women from Jinzhou Prefecture that the cement road is as smooth and flat as a stone road. Do not move."

"Isn't that a bluestone road?"

"What if it is an entire undivided bluestone slab? What if its cost is only a few dozen cents per mile?"

——God!
Just one word took away the breath of Sun Qingchen and Mr. Lin.
