The governor Guo Pu liked this famous northern city from the bottom of his heart. Although Guo Pu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not let him stay in Peking for too long, no local officials in the Ming Dynasty were as big as himself and were in charge of the four provinces. Although the population of these four provinces was not as large as one elsewhere, it was estimated that the day when the Ming and Mongolia War ended, that is, when his merits were fully promoted or dying. Therefore, before this, we must let the new policy grow as soon as possible and learn to protect ourselves as soon as possible. No matter who becomes the highest commander of these four places, the fact that the founding is impossible to change.

Over the past few years, seeing the prosperity and prosperity of Peking and other places day by day, just like watching their children grow up slowly, Guo Pu's heart is filled with unspeakable joy. Although this child has various shortcomings, fathers still like to show off their son's strengths one by one in front of everyone, and then humbly say a few words in the praise of the guests: "Little dog is ignorant, don't praise him too high, so as not to be proud and complacent." If there is really a guest who is ignorant and accuses the child of being ignorant and lacking in family education in person, even if the father is humble, he will greet the eight generations of the guests' ancestors one by one.

Now, such an ignorant person is here to come. He has a lot of connection with Guo Pu in terms of teacher education, and can be regarded as a senior brother of the same school. He came to Peking with his uncle's letter, just to argue with Guo Pu, so that he could realize that all the new things in Peking are all disasters and beasts, which will sooner or later bring disaster to the country and the people.

"Abuse of force, desire wealth, advocate mechanical power, selfishness, take pride in cruelty and barbarity, the rituals and music collapse, the principles and principles are separated, and they are always in the past, and they will not be destroyed by others, they will destroy themselves..."!

"Get out, get out of here. Apart from studying, what have you experienced and what have you done well?" Guo Pu cursed in his stomach. On the surface, he had to listen to his senior brother's generous speech. If you really want to blow him out, you will achieve his integrity reputation. It is better to waste it slowly with him.

Bai Zheng and Bai Dexin didn't think so. He was famous in Jiangnan under twenty, and his six arts and scriptures were all exquisite. In his heart, the way of the saints and the words of the saints are the example of behavior of the entire society. As long as the words and actions of ordinary people conform to the way of the saints, the Ming Dynasty will reappear the glory of the four barbarians in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Perhaps the world of the saints will also reappear in the near future. And he is an important force to promote the reappearance of the saints. His sense of mission on his shoulders makes him face all the hardships and cold eyes.

A few months ago, his memorial resonated with more than 200 famous scholars in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, Du Yu, who presented the memorial to the court, took it out of context, resulting in the failure of the entire sniping new policy. Wang Ben, Du You, Shi Yu, Du Yu, and four major scholars were all dismissed, and their own strength was greatly damaged. Although the first customs general Shen Bin lost his post and dismissed his post, the customs personnel were changed at most, but at most it could only be considered as a contest between those who supported the new policy and those who opposed the new policy. As the battle situation in Ming and Mongolia tightened, the court's attention was attracted to the front line again, and it was difficult for officials to launch a new round of sniping new policy at this time.

Bai Zheng was really unwilling to not uproot the new policy. The sage said, "Who is the fault of the tiger sperm, and the turtle jade is destroyed in the box?" If you don't hurry up and eliminate the disaster in the bud, it is the dereliction of duty of the Confucians. Now, the warm days of men and women who work in the countryside in Jiangnan have gone away under the impact of the new policy. The loyal and honest character of the people in the northern country has been corroded by the odor of money because the new policy takes the lead in saying "profit". This time, when we stayed in the countryside, the savage did not admire and treat him well as well as the book said. Instead, they always bargained with him because of a head of garlic and a pot of wine.

Not to mention the landlords who made money by planting cotton, some people heard him claiming the name of Yanbo Yushoushou, but they threw the farmhouse together with the bedding, leaving no face. Putting aside these personal setbacks, apart from Peking, many people who made money by the new policy in many cities are illegal people. The farmers who lost their land were frugal and worked for nine hours a day to extract their last vitality. They are not for their own gains and losses, but for the life and death of the people in the world, and they cannot allow the new policy to develop. The court is the responsibility of ministers. In the countryside, those who read the books of saints must also make a difference.

This time, despite the dissuasion of other scholars, Bai Zheng was determined to die. He wanted to prove that the new policy was wrong at the birthplace of the new policy, and to educate the world from the source, so that the lost people could completely awaken. The key to all this lies in his junior brother, the governor Guo Pu.

Bai Zheng believed that his fellow junior Guo Pu was a rare talent. Since he could achieve the new policy, he could also destroy the new policy. In the past, Bai Zheng believed that it was because his junior brother was deceived by the evil people. As long as he slowly explained the truth to his junior brother, he would definitely influence him and let him fight back and remove the fire from the cauldron. For this reason, Bai Zheng spent several months searching for all the examples of the collapse of rituals and music since the implementation of the new policy in various places, searching for the many miserable scenes of the people being harmed by the new policy, searching for all the shameless actions of illegal merchants using the new policy to hoard goods, and preparing a whole set of rhetoric than the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang. He wanted to implement a punitive strategy on Guo Pu, eliminate the evil obstacles in his heart, and bring him back to the right path.

The autumn in Peking is cool and dry, and the sun shines in the living room through the bright glass windows. The family banquet has been used, and the teapot on the small table has been changed several times, and the guests still have no awareness of leaving. Mrs. Guo, who was hiding next door, gritted her teeth and whispered her husband's senior brother, "Where did you come from the fool? The world of a saint? Have you seen what glass looks like? Did the saint have a musket at that time? Did the saint have a loom at that time?"

Guo Pu picked up the teacup and choked slightly. This was his signature move, and one end and one snuff showed calmness and calmness that others could not learn. Every time this time, he must have already had a scheming in his heart.

"Senior brother has come all the way, so why not stay for a few more days. I will arrange a room for you in the Peking Academy, where students come and go, which is a good place to read and discuss the truth." The language is polite and lively.

Seeing Guo Pu's lukewarm look, Bai Zheng knew that he had been wasting his efforts. He sighed and stood up to say goodbye, "Junior brother, when it comes to being an official, senior brother is indeed not as good as you, but you and I must always keep the saints taught in the master's sect in mind. We cannot care about the moment before our eyes and will bring disaster to generations. Otherwise, how can we face our ancestors in the future?"

"The senior brother is so serious. I learned the way of a saint since I was a child, and I followed the teachings of a saint when I was an official. The original intention of a saint is just to let the people live a decent life, and I did this. As for the disadvantages mentioned by the senior brother, it is not based on the new policy, but someone used the name of the new policy. If the senior brother doesn't believe me, you might as well take a walk in Peking to see how different the same business brings to the people under the control of different people."

"Then I will say goodbye and do not disturb the governor's official duties to benefit the people. China has established a country through farming and war since ancient times. General's governor must think twice about everything." Bai Zheng bowed helplessly and smiled, a little angry, after all, it is inconvenient to hang in the light.

Guo Pu heard the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone and still smiled faintly: "This position as a governor is not as dirty as a senior brother in the eyes of a senior brother. I am just in his position and fulfilling his responsibilities. You and I have seen different things and naturally cannot be unified in their views. This is just like when we studied the Analects of Confucius, each senior brother has different explanations. The original intention is to improve his studies. Why do you have to say that it is different and it must not be a match? To put it bluntly, one sells big cakes and the other sells fried dough sticks, and fighting for which one can fill your stomach is actually not a meal."

Bai Zheng's thoughts that Guo Pu said were red. He was not a petty person. He immediately blew up the joke of Guo Pu and said with a laugh: "I haven't seen you for several years. The jokes of junior brother have become more and more humorous. It won't delay your official duties. Senior brother said goodbye. I was talking about you, but you said that Senior brother will live in Peking for a few days according to your opinion. See what's good about this new policy, which makes you obsessed with it, and then come to argue with you again."

Guo Pu slowly stood up, smiled and saw the guests out. When he approached the gate, he suddenly asked casually: "Senior brother has been here, have you ever calculated how much land a small family in the north needs to have food and clothing?"

"Do you have a junior brother test for me? Okay, let me tell you first, you can correct me." Bai Zheng pondered for a moment and immediately gave the correct answer. "The north is mostly dry land. If there are cattle and the land is also home, it will be about twenty or thirty acres of land, which is far worse than the southern paddy fields." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, remembering the situation of answering questions when they were studying.

"If this small family has a lot of branches and leaves, how much land will be needed to support this family in fifty years."

"In the peaceful and prosperous era, fifty years later, the couple can hold their grandson as long as they are alive. The family has at least six or seven people, and it is not possible to have 50 acres of land without 60 acres of land."

"Thank you for your teachings," Guo Pu bowed to the ground, "I have always been confused about this matter recently. Today, when I heard that my senior brother was very proud, I suddenly realized. A peaceful and prosperous era is what we hope for, but the more peaceful and prosperous era, the faster the population grows. Although there are many arable land in our Central Plains, there is always an end. Therefore, the prosperity of all dynasties is the decline, not all because the monarch and ministers do not fulfill their duties, and the power of the land is also limited."

"This"? Bai Zheng was stunned and immediately understood that his words of farming and establishing the country were caught by his junior brother. Although Guo Pu's words were a bit unreasonable in his eyes, they were not completely unfounded. The biggest benefit of this new policy is that the people no longer rely on the land as they did in the past. He was a famous scholar, so naturally he was not an unreasonable person. He thought silently in his heart, bowed back, and left alone. The straight-washed scholar's robe seemed particularly lonely in the short beating of the streets of Peking.

Guo Pu shook his head at Bai Zheng's back, turned around and told Shutong, "Go, go to the butler to pay 200 taels of silver, settle my senior brother more comfortably, and go see him after I finish my work."

I felt a little sad when I thought that my senior brother had come from afar but could not stay in his house for a short stay. Bai Zheng's knowledge and character were both excellent. If it weren't for the different opinions, the two could have been good friends. But one memorial almost ruined the entire Peking. If he kept this person at home, the harm caused by the misunderstanding would probably be no less than that of Bai Zheng's memorial. The different Taoisms did not make plans, but Bai Zheng and he both had the same desire to worry about the country and the people, with the same ambition to save the world.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry", Guo Pu secretly expressed his apology in his heart. The people in Peking have suffered too many blows, and I can't let them suffer more harm.

Thinking of Wu Anguo's white clothes and hemp shoes being busy like crazy in the mansion, Guo Pu felt ache. The news of Li Shanping's death and the news of Bei and Lin Chengpo were sent to Peiping by the messenger of the King of Yan. Wu Anguo, who should have been the sadtest, did not react much. He calmly ordered someone to prepare for Li Shanping's affairs, and then devoted himself to the operation of the stock market. No one could persuade him, and this scar could only be healed for the years.

Get the good news, the stocks first rose like a flag, and then fell down under the deliberate sniping of Wu Anguo and others, and made a fortune lose all their money. The fat man Gao, who wanted money and life, became Wu Anguo's hard-working partner for some reason. For more than a month, the two have worked together to make condoms, have news for vacation, and dig pits. All kinds of tricks are incredible, making the opponent unable to defend. Mu of Peking Academy

Hammerd was still afraid that Wu Anguo would not be able to calculate the accounts clearly, so he temporarily drew more than 40 high-level scholars from the academy to help him, calling it a practical test of learning results. So, accompanied by the crackling sound of abacus beads in the hands of more than 40 students and the laughter of fat man Gao, a large amount of funds fell back to Zhang Wu and others' pockets. Some small speculators were eliminated one after another, leaving only a few large-scale financial investors barely supporting them, and they were nostalgic for the good days of making money back then.

Unfortunately, their good days are gone forever. On the day when the news came, the Xie family, who had been making trouble in the stock market, was the first to wilt. Xie Wuya, the female shopkeeper in Peking, took advantage of the stock market's rise and went crazy, regardless of whether he could make a profit, which invisibly helped Wu Anguo a big favor. Before the stock price began to fall, the Xie family began to transfer other industries in its hands at a low price, and all the transactions were almost in the

It was completed within three days. It is said that every time the female shopkeeper signed a transaction, she cried and snatched the world. The big buyer Gao Fatty has no heart for Bodhisattvas. The more miserable Xie Wuya cried, the lower the price. The Chunqiu of Peking, who was the most disliked businessman, did not come out to say a fair word at this moment. Another company, known as the mouthpiece of the people, "Beiping Xinbao", wrote a special article on the front page, with only two big words in the title, deserved it!

"Brother, let's stop. Are you expecting to make all the losses of the merchants in Peking?" Guo Pu kindly reminded Wu Anguo in a chat after dinner. Many funds had been transferred long ago, and the endgame was able to recover to this point. The result was beyond everyone's expectations and did not spend too much time in the destructive stock market. Wu Anguo and Li Qi were ordered to go to the north. Now that the eldest son-in-law Li Qi returned to his hometown, Wu Anguo still had to spend time to complete the remaining provinces. Otherwise, even if he made great contributions to the logistics supply of the Northern Army, Zhu Yuanzhang would inevitably be unhappy.

"Don't worry, I'll play with them slowly." Wu Anguo looked at the dark sky in the north, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he answered Guo Pu, and seemed to say to the heroic soul hidden in the air. "Do you play until they admit defeat, are willing to sit at the table, and work with us to formulate a rule that everyone follows."

"I won't play anymore. I'm going to take over my son. I've been planning for so many years. Zhu Er, this time you have to calculate the capital and interest for me." On the Fubo ship of the Ming Navy, the commander of the Ming Navy, Cao Zhen and the generals of the navy were joking unscrupulously. The prince Zhu Biao sat on the top, asked to stroke his beard and let his subordinates laugh. Finally, it was the season for harvest. In the past three years, the navy fought more than a hundred large and small sea pirates from far and near. The islands along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and the various water villages along the Goryeo coast were basically "cleaned". The soldiers of the Ming Navy shivered when they heard the fire, and did not frown when they broke the deck. The growth was hard, and everyone had experienced it together. They had reason to be happy and qualified to make fun of it. Because tonight, the warships were about to sail out of the port rented by the navy in the east of the North Korea Kingdom, and the soldiers were sent to the Japanese pirates' nest.

"From tomorrow, everyone will contact each other with the flag language and advance in batches. The fleets should pay attention to maintaining the distance between each other and the formation of their own team." With a clear cough, reminding everyone not to make too much trouble. Cao Zhen unfolded the chart on the podium. Everyone knew that they were going to assign tasks, so they rubbed their fists and palms around the podium.

"Your Highness"? Cao Zhen looked up at Zhu Biao and asked for his opinion.

"I don't know what you said, I just follow you and cheer you on the drums and you can do the specifics. You can do it yourself." Zhu Biao smiled generously and was very proud. More than 100 warships of the Ming Dynasty and the Korean Navy coalition forces attacked the Japanese, and the sails covered the sky and the sun. Such careful preparations would fail, and it would be unreasonable. I used to be afraid of hurricanes, but through two consecutive years of observation and collection of sea situation information, the sea was the calmest time every year in this season, and even a big wave would not rise. If the Ming Dynasty had not prohibited trade between various countries on the Japanese sea, in September of the past few years, someone would dare to go from Goryeo to Japan. Li Chenggui deposed the Goryeo King this year and established himself and changed the country's name to North Korea. In order to obtain the official enthronement of the Ming Dynasty, he would have spent all his money to flatter Zhu Biao and sent out all his family's assets. These Goryeo sailors were familiar with waterways and currents, which gave Cao Zhen a little more confidence in winning.

"General Chen, you take three star-rated ships to explore the way forward. You are not allowed to let any ships of all sizes when you encounter them. Let the Japanese stay in my nest and wait for everyone to clean up."

"Yes, the young general Chen took a few steps happily, snatched the arrows and put them in his arms, for fear that others would snatch them away. He was born in Huairou Yixue, and Cao Zhen gave him the vanguard mission, which was obviously suspected of taking care of his own children. If he broke this mission, he would be ashamed to be in the navy in the future.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Cao Zhen smiled in his heart when he saw Chen Hao's hurrying look. The children are all grown up now. If the masters don't work hard, they will sooner or later let the younger generation surpass them. He grabbed the second arrow and looked around and was eager to try the generals, solemnly handing it to Fang Mingqian.

"Mingqian, do you remember your vow back then?"
