I

  Chapter 277 275 [Lingnan Three Loyalties]

   The reward was given, and everyone dispersed.

  Zhao Han smiled and waved: "Come here."

  Pan Qimei studied Mandarin for a month, and her vocabulary is less than 100. She imitated the appearance of a girl from the Han family, bent down and saluted and said, "All blessings, my husband!"

  The accent is a bit weird, but interesting.

   "Stop standing there, go into the room and talk." Zhao Han laughed.

  Pan Qimei didn't understand much, but she followed along and crossed the threshold generously.

  Zhao Han picked up the teapot, and just as he was about to pour tea, Pan Qimei walked over immediately, grabbed the handle of the pot and said, "I...I..."

   "Pour tea?" Zhao Han asked.

  Pan Qimei nodded repeatedly: "I'll pour...tea."

  Zhao Han sat down and asked, "How old is this year?"

  Pan Qimei was a little dazed while holding the teapot. This Chinese sentence seems to have been taught by the husband, but it seems that he has not.

  Ba Pai Yao at this time has a deep degree of Sinicization. The closer to the county town, the more Yao people who can speak Chinese. However, Pan Qimei is an authentic mountain girl who has never left the village since she was a child.

  Zhao Han had a headache, so he immediately called the guards, trying to find someone who could speak Chinese from the send-off team.

   I quickly found one, but he could only speak Cantonese, so I had to add a Cantonese translator.

  The concubines that Zhao Han just accepted, want to communicate with each other, so they need two translators...

   "What's your name?" Zhao Han asked.

  The Cantonese translator immediately relayed it, and the Yao language translator relayed it again.

   Pan Qimei replied: "My surname is Pan, and my name is Pan Qimei."

   "Is there only a surname, but no first name?" Zhao Han asked.

  This time Pan Qimei didn’t need to answer, the Yao language translator explained: “In Zongzhen, not only women, but also many Yao family men only have surnames, and they are named after their ranking in the family.”

Zhao Han recruited Hu Mengtai and told him: "Remember, the teachers who will be sent to Yao Village... not only Yao Village, but also Tong Village (Zhuang) and Miao Village. Teachers must give the local people Chinese names. Otherwise, this There must be a lot of duplicate names in household registration, which is extremely unfavorable to government household registration management."

  As the secretary, Hu Mengtai immediately took out a small notebook to write down.

  Zhao Han said: "You will be called Pan Yao from now on, Yao from the Yao nationality."

   "Pan Yao, Pan Yao," Pan Qimei repeated in Chinese, and said with a smile, "Okay, the name Pan Yao sounds very nice."

  The little girl has dimples when she smiles, and she looks even cuter.

  Zhao Han asked again: "How old are you?"

   "Sixteen." Pan Qimei replied.

  Zhao Han directly asked the Yao translator: "Do you talk about false age or real age?"

  Yao translation said: "Xian Sui."

   Well, the girl who is only 15 years old is really mature.

   Do you eat papaya every day? The chest is so big.

   Moreover, the waist is not thick, and I don't know how it grew.

   "How many people are there in the family?"

   "Eight people, all the older sisters are married."

   "..."

   After some homework, Pan Qimei completely relaxed, and felt that this Zhao Tianwang was very easy to get along with.

  Dinning in the evening, the rest dispersed, leaving only Zhao Han and Pan Qimei.

   I don't know whether it was the etiquette teacher's random teaching, or the traditional customs of Ba Pai Yao, Pan Qimei stood at the dining table and dared not sit down.

  The two parties could not communicate, so she could only stand there stupidly.

   Zhao Han smiled and took her hand: "Sit down and eat."

   "Okay." After sitting down, Pan Qimei laughed happily.

  Zhao Han held her hand tightly, opened his fingers and saw that there were many calluses in the palm of his hand. Looking at the back of the hand, there are also some scars, which left very shallow marks after healing. It is estimated that they were scratched by rice leaves when cutting rice.

  It seems that he often does farm work, but his face is very fair, maybe he is wearing a straw hat or something, and his face is not exposed to the sun.

  Zhao Han pulled up her sleeves, the color of the skin on her wrists was similar to that on the back of her hands, much darker than her face.

   "You Yao elders, you have a heart." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

   Pan Qimei couldn't understand, so she just laughed along with Zhao Han.

"Have a meal."

  Zhao Han was afraid that she would not know how to use chopsticks, so he was preparing to demonstrate in person, when Pan Qimei had already picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

   Seeing that Zhao Han didn't move the chopsticks first, Pan Qimei put down the chopsticks again. This kind of etiquette was probably taught by my husband. Ba Pai Yao specially invited a teacher to teach etiquette and speak Chinese at the same time.

  Zhao Han smiled and picked up a peanut for her.

  Peanuts and broad beans have been introduced to China for hundreds of years, and the planting areas at this time are very extensive.

   Zhao Han invented "Kung Pao Chicken", which not only quickly became popular in Jiangxi, but also popular in Jiangxi provinces. The Jiangxi side is called "Zongzhen Chicken", and the Jiangnan side is called "Scholar's Chicken". Anyway, this stuff is liked regardless of region.

   Dinner for two, three dishes and one soup.

   One meat and two vegetables are not extravagant.

  Pan Qimei ate a peanut and thought it tasted weird, but it was delicious. Picking up another piece of diced chicken, her eyes widened immediately, she ate most of the plate, and even a whole bowl of dry rice.

   Not the kind of small bowl that can be held with one hand.

  So, the attribute is a foodie loli with a childlike face?

  Zhao Han thinks that in the future, he should be reminded that if he does not do physical work every day, eating so much food will make him gain weight easily.

  Pan Qimei sat down after eating, savoring the food while waiting for Zhao Han to speak. Although she couldn't understand, it wouldn't be so embarrassing if someone spoke.

  Zhao Han called the accompanying maid and took Pan Qimei to take a bath, while he sat and processed the official documents leisurely.

  This girl from the Yao ethnic group doesn’t know anything. After returning to Jiangxi, she must first learn to speak Chinese, and then send her to a girls’ school to study with her younger sister.

  Sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the official documents, it turned out that Baoqing and Yongzhou were hit by drought for three consecutive years. Since the officials had not yet arrived, the military officers in front explained the situation and asked for food relief as soon as possible, otherwise people would starve to death this winter.

   Alas, it's his mother's food adjustment and disaster relief again. How can there be enough food in Jiangxi?

  Zhao Han quickly issued instructions to kill a group of heinous landlords, and then forced other landlords to borrow food. This should be able to raise a lot of money, if it doesn't work, just copy a few more, anyway, Zhao Han has no money left.

  After next year’s summer harvest, the Dongting Lake Plain must be captured. That is the real granary of the world!

  After approving this matter, Zhao Han picked up the document again, but it was an article written by a private scholar called "Guangdong Tianzheng Essentials".

  It discusses the complexity of landlords in Guangdong in detail, and hopes that Zhao Han can make reasonable fine-tuning of the policy, and points out some mistakes and omissions made by the farmers' association in the distribution of land in Shunde County.

   "Come on, call Zhang Jiayu!"

  Zhang Jiayu is twenty-two years old this year. Only six days after he was admitted to Juren, the city of Guangzhou was taken away by merchants and dedicated to Zhao Han.

  This gentleman originally didn't want to be a thief, but somehow, his family got the property. He was not assigned the fields, but the land, because he came from a poor family of farmers.

  This, this, this... How embarrassing, Zhang Jiayu immediately took the initiative to seek refuge, and brought a vote of gangsters.

   is also a restless person, while taking the exam for candidates, while messing around in the rivers and lakes.

  Historically, this person was one of the three loyalists in Lingnan.

   But he was very loyal. Li Zicheng went to Beijing, and Zhang Jiayu wrote a letter to serve before Chongzhen died.

  After Li Zicheng fled, Zhang Jiayu refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and ran to Nanjing to join Emperor Hongguang. Because he had betrayed, he was arrested and imprisoned by the small court of Nanming.

  The Qing army invaded Nanjing, but Zhang Jiayu still refused to surrender, and ran to Fuzhou to join Emperor Longwu.

  Relying on his fame in the world, he summoned heroes to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and was injured several times before and after. The last time, he was hit by nine arrows, refused to surrender, and committed suicide by jumping into a pond. He was only 31 years old, and his posthumous posthumous title was "Wen Lie".

   "Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

  Zhang Jiayu pushed the door and entered, dressed in a Confucian shirt, with an iron sword hanging from his waist.

   Zhao Han ignored the weapon on his body and asked, "Who is the author of this article, Mr. Iwano? Tell me the name, not the name."

  Zhang Jiayu replied: "Mr. Yanye is Chen Bangyan."

  Zhao Han sighed suddenly, and asked casually: "Is that Chen Bangyan who was recommended by many scholars but refused to come?"

   "Exactly." Zhang Jiayu cupped his hands.

  Chen Bangyan, who was also one of the three loyalists in the south of the Five Ridges in the late Ming Dynasty, is currently opening a lecture hall in the countryside. Local officials would consult his opinions whenever they had undecided political affairs.

   four words, from a rich family!

   It was precisely because Zhao Han forcibly divided the land and the Chen family suffered heavy losses that Chen Bangyan was determined not to be recruited. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Han left Guangzhou, he took the initiative to write an article, pointing out the omissions in Zhao Hantian's administration.

  This person can't stay idle, full of economics, failed in the imperial examination, and has no way to serve the country.

  Historically, when the Nanjing small imperial court was established, Chen Bangyan immediately wrote "Zhongxing Political Leaders", with tens of thousands of words, listed 32 strategies for saving the country, and went to Nanjing alone to present it to Emperor Hongguang.

  Emperor Hongguang got "Zhongxing Political Leaders", which had too many words and was too lazy to read.

  Later it was activated by Emperor Longwu, Chen Bangyan led troops to fight against the Qing, but his concubine and two sons were captured by the Qing army, forcing him to surrender immediately. Chen Bangyan replied: "The concubine humiliated her, and her son killed her. As a loyal minister, I don't care about my wife."

   Then, Chen Bangyan withdrew from Guangzhou and turned to attack Sanshui, Xinhui, and Xiangshan, winning three battles and three victories.

   While defending Qingyuan City, the Qing army dug tunnels and blasted the city wall. Chen Bangyan's second son died in a street fight. Chen Bangyan himself was stabbed three times and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water and was picked up by the Qing army. After being arrested and taken to Guangzhou, Chen Bangyan still refused to surrender. He went on a hunger strike for five days in prison and was killed by the Qing army.

  The three loyalists in Lingnan, and the third loyalist named Chen Zizhuang, lived in Guangzhou at this time.

   The whole family also died tragically, and Chen Zizhuang died the worst because he was the leader of the Guangdong Anti-Qing Dynasty.

  He was **** and sawed in half from the top of his head. Due to the shaking of his body, he could only saw off the scalp. Chen Zizhuang shouted to the executioner: "Idiot, people in the world (saw) need wooden planks!"

  The executioner quickly tied Chen Zizhuang to a wooden board and sawed him alive.

  After being sawn open, Chen Zizhuang was still reciting the poem of Jue Ming: "Where does the golden branch go, and whose house is the jade leaf? Lao Gen once wished to die, and vowed not to let the spring flowers bloom."

  Brother Chen Zisheng hid in the mountains with his mother. Hearing of her son's death, Mother Chen hanged herself from the beam. His concubine, Zhang Yuqiao, was taken in by Li Chengdong, a general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hearing the news of her husband's death, she committed suicide by killing herself.

  Chen Zizhuang was dismissed by Chongzhen as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and returned to his hometown.

  As long as he is willing to seek refuge, scholars from Guangdong will definitely flock to him. It's a pity that this person is also from a wealthy family, and he is very dissatisfied with Zhao Han's behavior of dividing the land.

   "Alas, among the three loyalists in Lingnan, only one and half are loyal." Zhao Han sighed again.

  Zhang Jiayu asked: "Who are the three loyalists in Lingnan?"

  Zhao Han said perfunctorily, "An ancient hero."

   Of the three loyalists in Lingnan, one came to serve on his own initiative, one only wrote articles and made suggestions, and the other hid in the academy.
