The seventh day of June in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

In the city of Beijing, when Zhang Hanru guessed that Wen Tiren, who was then the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was going to take action against the Donglin Party members, he joined his sect, conspired with Wen Tiren Xiangguo, and weaved a series of methods to prepare to deal with the Donglin Party The leaders of Qian Qianyi, Qu Shixu and others.Zhang Hanru charged forward, waving the flag and shouting, while Wen Tiren presided over it behind the scenes, arresting Shui Taileng and Qu Shixu and sent them to prison for torture.

In Jiangnan, Zhang Pu had initiated the establishment of another Donglin-style organization after Donglin, the famous Fushe.It is said that chariots and horses gather from all directions, and admirers compete to leave. Suddenly, the momentum is no less than that of Donglin back then, and it is said that its voice is directed to the right.The title of the product is A and B.

A new round of party struggle between the ruling and opposition parties is brewing.

The bloody storm of party struggle in the capital did not affect Nanzhong thousands of miles away at all. The people here are concerned about another matter right now.

Can cowpox be planted on humans? After being planted with cowpox, will cow horns grow on the head, mooing and turning into a bull demon, as the Western pastor said?

On a huge high platform built in front of the Hue Royal Palace, dozens of South China Army flags fluttered in the hot summer wind. [

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the palace.People are waiting to see the general's wives and concubines and the wives and children of the adults, and even the scenes of them being vaccinated.

Small vendors who have a keen sense of smell and sense business opportunities have set up shops around the square, selling food and daily necessities, children's toys, women's rouge pollen, etc.There's even some cheap jewelry.The entire square seems to have turned into a huge temple fair.

"It's fine to set up a stall! Pay attention to the sanitation of the environment! Originally, the main reason for this event is for everyone's wealth and lives! You can't throw garbage everywhere!"

Several inspectors and tax collectors wore their own standard uniforms and patrolled around the square to prevent those small traders from littering everywhere.

But it's not bad, no matter what kind of goods or food vendors are selling, they are very obedient and set up garbage baskets next to the stalls.Throw the generated garbage into the basket.

As the sun gradually rose, bustling crowds from all corners of the city converged on the square like a stream.

Among the crowd, there were a few very unremarkable men.Wearing a half-worn blue cloth trousers and jacket, he was dressed like a worker who just got off work.The hair also smelled of sawdust shavings mixed with soap locust.One could tell at a glance that it was a worker from a certain construction factory or shipyard, who came to the palace to watch the excitement while taking a break.

However, their eyes looked through the crowd and stared sharply at the two groups of people.

Through the figures of the students in the white school uniforms of the Nanzhong Medical School and the military doctors and nurses from several health battalions of the Nanzhong Army shuttling through the crowd, the eyes of these people fell on the two completely different clothes. On a group of people.

Among them, the Confucian shirts on their bodies were a bit worn out, and the inconspicuous places were patched with cloth pieces of similar colors.The weather was starting to get hot, and these people held folding fans in their hands, pointing the country along the way.This group of people are scholars who have entered Nanzhong through various channels from Guangdong and Guangxi in the past year. Many of them are not the first scholars or old children.All of them are people who can't carry a basket with their hands and can't bear the burden on their shoulders.I originally thought that Nanzhong was a remote and wild place in southern Xinjiang.I have read the sage books for many years and come here, even if I can't be like the man in white who worships the minister, at least I am Zhang Yuan and others who rushed to Xixia, and I can build a reputation.Seek some wealth.

However, after staying in Nanzhong for a few days, I have learned enough of Mr. Zhuge's high-lying posture, just waiting for a wise master to visit the thatched cottage.It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, it's Uncle Liu Huang.Even Mr. Zhang didn't come.

Therefore, this group of people naturally claimed to be underappreciated people, and slowly gathered together.

But after inquiring quietly, it turns out that Nanzhong is not like the mainland, where there are many literate and educated people.Although I don't read the Four Books and Five Classics, the general principles cannot be refuted.The tried and tested magic weapon of these people in the mainland, the two invincible weapons of controlling discourse power and guiding public opinion, were also crushed by the appallingly high literacy rate and newspapers.

There are only some guys who can't do well in the four books, five classics, and stereotyped articles on weekdays, but they are a little dabbled in some miscellaneous studies such as bookkeeping and arithmetic. Because of their quick brains, they quickly found jobs. Go to some stores to keep accounts, of course, they can't be the bookkeepers of big business, because the double-entry bookkeeping method is used there.

Seeing that people who are not as good as themselves are doing well on weekdays, these saint disciples are so angry that they curse behind their backs from time to time, "Li Shouhan doesn't respect the way of saints, and he will be punished by thunder sooner or later!"

In Nanzhong, even if you point at Zhu Youjian's nose and scold Zhu Yuanzhang, no one may care about you.However, even if you scolded Li Shouhan against the wilderness in the wilderness, maybe two people jumped out of the grass and reported you quietly.Even if this group of people scolded and vented their anger at a private gathering, they would inevitably be secretly reported to the security chief and patrol inspector by the neighbors.Firstly, the report is meritorious, and secondly, it is the first report, so that if something happens to them, the whole family will be implicated if something happens to the family.The method invented by Wang Yangming, the uncle of Xinjian, has been fully implemented and passed down here in Nanzhong.

These rotten scholars have become the key figures monitored by the General Inspection Office, the Investigation Office and other departments. It's a pity that these guys are already in the prison gate, but they don't know it. They are holding the pamphlets handed to them by the medical students. , Can't stop criticizing and laughing.

"Brother Nian!" Someone used a very shameless address to greet his companions. Most of these people have no reputation as scholars, at most they are old boys.If they were heard by their kind in the mainland, they would be ridiculed, and in serious cases, they would be scolded by Master Xuezheng and the head of the academy.They don't have any fame at all, yet they dare to call each other Brother Nian?

"It's really ridiculous to print such vulgar words on such a beautiful and white paper, and to use these missing strokes and strokes!"

The person who spoke was pinching a copy of the health and epidemic prevention pamphlet that two medical students just sent him with a few fingers, as if it was the most vulgar thing in the world, and his face was full of contempt.

The health and epidemic prevention booklet is bound and printed with high-quality white paper, with both pictures and text on it, and the printing is exquisite.Even a farmer who has just finished literacy and a first-year student can roughly understand it.What these Confucian scholars criticized was the font above.

Shou Han felt that the traditional characters had too many strokes, so he ordered people to burn movable type for the simplified characters.Used to print textbooks and spread culture.I don't want to be in the eyes of this group of people.It seems to have become a laughing stock.

"Brothers, take a look, how do you love this kind of love? How can you be a relative if you don't see them?"

"What Brother Nian said is very true! My younger brother is free to read the textbooks used by the children in the neighbors' houses. The textbooks used by the children in the neighbors are very crude. It is really misleading the children! The so-called relatives are not seen, love is not produced, and the factory is empty. Flour. , Carriage, guide way, son head, fly single wing. There are clouds and rain, open and close the door, the country man, the saint can't hear or speak, buy a hook and knife and have someone's head. There is a dagger under the wheel, isn't it getting more and more Good to go down the well, but the devil is still a devil, the ghost is still a ghost, stealing is still stealing, cheating is still cheating, greed is still greedy, poison is still poison, black is still black, gambling is still gambling."

"Not bad!"

"That's right!"

When a group of people were proud and proud of being able to write several ways of writing fennel beans, someone from the crowd next to them answered.

"Protect with hands, love has friends, stove makes fire, shows clearly, tortoise has armor, brush has "hair", treasure has jade, there are many people, net is like a shape, extinguishing needs water, appeals have mouths, calls are not the roar of tigers, Fighting is for possession, not for one person, the daytime is the sun rising one foot high, the insects are either more or less, the better, but the Buddha is still a Buddha, God is still a god, faith is still faith, benevolence is benevolence, benevolence is still good Do good, beauty for beauty, blessing for blessing, joy for joy.”

An immature boy's voice flew over the heads of the people, as if someone had slapped the faces of the group of people 24 times.Their faces were slapped.

"Doo! Where did the reckless schoolboy come from! Gentlemen are here to discuss writing, so it's your turn to speak!"

The person holding the health and epidemic prevention booklet in his hand threw the booklet out in order to express his anger.

"Ah! I don't know how to cherish calligraphy and paper, I don't know that books should not be thrown away, and I still say that I am a scholar!"

A passing vegetable farmer picked up the booklet from the ground, patted it, and put it away carefully.

"you you!"

Amid the laughter and contemptuous looks from the crowd, the rotten man had no choice but to point his fingers at the vegetable farmer's back, but he couldn't make a sound of accusation and scolding. However, he had already thought about it, and he wrote down what he saw in his diary when he went back. Well, although Nanzhong is good, it is like printing some vulgar words on a piece of good white paper, and the reason for this phenomenon must be a system problem.The military and civilians don't talk about education and don't know how to respect scholars. They only know about chasing fame and fortune every day, while the officials here only know about excessive taxation and extortion and high taxes every day, in order to achieve the purpose of militarism and extravagance!This Nanzhong needs the enlightenment of a sage Haosheng.

The other group of people stared at by those men is completely opposite to this group of rotten scholars.

Different from the poor and rotten Confucians who are poorly dressed but want to look superior to others, these people are all neatly dressed and decent, and the most inconspicuous person is also dressed in a robe made of ramie, with a smile on his face.

For the people in the front, back, left, and left, they all nodded with a smile, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze. For the various pamphlets issued by medical students and medical officers of the health camp, they attached great importance to collecting them and handing them over to special personnel for safekeeping.

Under the guidance of several Jiangxi businessmen, the shopkeeper Huang Da from Shanxi habitually nodded and smiled at the people around him. Although he might not know one of these thirty people, the smile has already became part of his daily life.Like a pot of old vinegar, it is indispensable.

From the moment he set foot on the land of Nanzhong, shopkeeper Huang and several shopkeepers under him began to carefully observe this land that made the owners extremely curious.

From the busy and orderly port, the wide and smooth ashes road connecting the port and the town, to the strict household registration system, he was shocked.He claims to have been a businessman from south to north for decades, from starting an apprentice to now becoming a big shopkeeper, he has traveled to hundreds of places in towns and villages, but this is the first time he has encountered such a scene.

However, if you don't carry the household registration booklet with you, which are called residence permits and work permits in Nanzhong, a random policeman will find them.Then you can be detained. If you are found to belong to a black household without household registration, you will have to go to the mine to work as a coolie.

And come into the city.The chief security guards from various neighborhoods would come over from time to time to check the household registration booklets to see if there were any black people who had hidden them.

All of these make people feel miserable and annoying.

But once you are familiar with and adapt to this kind of life.You will find the benefits in the middle.

As long as you have silver dollars and Tongbao in your pocket, you can taste all kinds of delicacies on the street. There are a variety of commodities in various shops, such as ironware, cloth, salt, vegetable oil, porcelain, silk, and grain. As a businessman, the shopkeeper Huang Smell the unlimited business opportunities here, and see the money that can fill the ocean.

And all kinds of people in uniforms of different styles and colors appeared on the street.That's what they focus on.

The bosses have explained that they should carefully observe the soldiers of the South Central Army to understand their organizational structure, internal relations, personnel composition, and training conditions.

For such a request.Shopkeeper Huang is already familiar and can't be more familiar. He travels to and from various parts of Daming. Isn't the situation of the officers and soldiers at that place known to the merchants?

However, the attempt to approach the South China Army ended in failure.The military camps everywhere are tightly guarded, and there is no order to go up to the peak, and it is absolutely impossible for idlers to enter. They can only obtain useful information in the conversations in teahouses and restaurants, like panning for gold in the sand.But from the patrolmen in black and red uniforms, with short sticks in their hands and ropes hanging from their waists, patrolling the streets.It seems that in terms of mental outlook and physical fitness, they are far more elite than those servants in the Ming Dynasty.If the soldiers of the South China Army were all at this level, then Manchuria with the Red Banner and Mongolia with the Red Banner would have lost in Hexi.

After living in Nanzhong for a period of time, under the influence of life and the influence of Jiangxi businessmen, the shopkeeper Huang and his subordinates formed two completely different impressions of Nanzhong.

According to the views of Jiangxi businessmen, one group believes that Nanzhong is an ideal place described by sages.If possible, we must develop and settle in Nanzhong. Even if we can't get the opportunity to settle in Nanzhong, we must find a way to become a business partner with the Nanzhong Army. We can sell everything produced here to the mainland for huge gains. Interests.The other faction is just the opposite. They believe that although Nanzhong is rich in products and people, Nanzhong is greedy for comparison and imposes a lot of miscellaneous taxes. One value-added tax, one import and export tariff, and officials and gentry pay food and taxes together, etc., which is even more tyrannical and harmful to the people. The move made the officials wait for the gentleman to be swept away, so what's the face?Therefore, you must not settle in Nanzhong.

They intentionally ignored policies such as duty-free goods and tax refunds in the import and export tariffs.

"No matter what they think about Jiangxi, there is only one meaning for you, and that is to do business! Find a way to buy what the owners want to buy, and ship it out of Nanzhong, and your stocks will go up!"

This is what Huang Da shopkeeper warned his subordinates in private.

Now, a group of them are also watching the liveliness of the vaccinia public planting conference.

On the back and both sides of the high platform, there are mat sheds built with reed mats, which are used as rest places for family members and children who were preparing to plant vaccinia when they were young, and vassals from Siam, Ryukyu, Burma, and Portugal who came to watch the ceremony. .

In the largest mat shed behind the high platform, Ryukyu Prince Shang Xian was being received by Shou Han.

Over the past few years, they have carried out trade with Nanzhong. Although they have earned a lot of money and food, what has always disturbed the Ryukyu king and his son is the so-called righteousness such as the identity of the Han.If the Ming court knew that he was inferior to an unidentified maritime merchant, he would have to face a disaster.

But fortunately, a sea merchant brought good news a few years ago. Li Shouhan was greatly rewarded with an official title, a crown, and a ceremonial guard because of King Qin's meritorious service in killing the enemy.Hastily packed presents and ordered Shangxian to come to say congratulations, and mention this year's rice for sugar cane by the way.

And in several nearby mat sheds, children who will be planted with cowpox in a while are happily playing under the leadership of their mothers.

And some caring people reported their husband's name and official position to Li Shouhan's wives who were dressed in "wife" costumes in a respectful manner, trying to establish some kind of connection with the inner house of the palace through such an opportunity today.

And the family members of some very senior officials sat with Yan Meier, discussing how to spread the cowpox planting to the entire Nanzhong Army area after this meeting!

And those children who were running around, introducing new friends to each other, and meeting new partners completely forgot about today's activities.In their eyes, today is a grand festival, with so many people of the same age and uncles and aunts together.

Seeing that the children quickly became familiar with each other and formed small groups to play there, the children's parents, aunts and daughters were bursting with joy in their hearts.

For most people, this kind of activity is more about establishing various interpersonal networks than showing loyalty to the lord.

Those children who were playing didn't know, because they were the first batch of children who were inoculated with vaccinia, and because of their special origin, after many years, some people with ulterior motives gave them the title of a group.

"The First Cowpox Gang!"
