Du Yuan was walking on the street and saw smiling people.
The war has been won, and the people feel that the dark clouds above their heads have disappeared.
He, too, was always worried that Commander-in-Chief Su would be defeated in the war. A rogue official like him would never end well.
At the battle of Jianmen Pass, he saw the light of day, and now Commander Su completely occupied Sichuan.
He is completely at ease with his work and no longer has to worry about his future.
Du Yuan saw several teachers leading a group of primary school students, reading newspapers to passers-by.
This is a practical class for students, allowing them to experience society and come into contact with all kinds of people.
They waved military flags in their hands and told passers-by impassionedly about the various battles fought by Soviet commanders in Sichuan.
Du Yuan came to Yuelai Restaurant, and his friend Lin Wenjing invited him to have dinner with him.
"Brother Du, I'm here."
Du Yuan saw someone calling him and found Lin Wenjing sitting in the box.
Lin Wenjing is a young man in his thirties.
He picked up the Erguotou on the table and poured Du Yuan a glass of wine.
"Brother Du is still very courageous. I was too hesitant to take advantage of that opportunity."
Lin Wenjing regretted that the Tongcheng Mansion was short of officials at that time and recruited officials through the recruitment hall.
Because he was afraid, he also wanted to take the examination for the Ming Dynasty's Juren, and did not want to leave a bad reputation of being attached to the rebels.
He did not go to the recruitment hall.
Now we can see that the Tongling Mansion is developing at an extremely fast speed and has already occupied Sichuan.
Suhe separated one side and officially became a decisive force.
It is possible to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.
Lin Wenjing began to regret that she was too timid.
"Brother Wen Jing, don't worry, the imperial examination will be held in the Commander's Office soon.
According to our internal information, it should be after the autumn harvest this year.
The test questions are mainly practical. I heard a few words from Wang Shangshu.
It seems that there will be separate examinations, and based on different knowledge, you can enter different yamen.
Mathematics is very important. It is best to learn the primary school curriculum, which will give you more opportunities.
You should learn more about the Hanzhong School of Xinxue, it will be good for your imperial examination."
When Du Yuan received Lin Wenjing's invitation, he knew that he was asking him about the imperial examination situation again.
When the news of Commander Su's victory came back to Hanzhong, he accepted banquets from several people.
These scholars, who had been hesitating before, saw that Commander Su had conquered Sichuan and his position was stable.
They all became very anxious and tried their best to find out about the situation of the imperial examination.
These people saw that Commander Su would at least become a separatist force and that troubled times were coming, so they made bets based on their own circumstances.
Wang Shangshu gave them a way to reveal some of the imperial examination information to the outside world.
This is public information within the Commander's Office, confidential information, and it is impossible for Du Yuan to obtain it.
Without Wang Shangshu's explanation, Du Yuan did not dare to disclose any information.
He sent his boss to prison and his whole family was exiled.
His boss wanted to rebel and asked him to join.
Reporting to your boss is a last resort.
If you do this, your reputation will not be very good.
Especially his current boss, he seems a little displeased.
Du Yuan saw that this time Commander Su conquered Sichuan.
There are now many official positions in Sichuan, so he requested to be sent abroad and find a magistrate in Sichuan.
Lin Wenjing listened carefully to Du Yuan's story, he nodded and said:
"I have joined the Hanzhong School a long time ago. It is an open school and anyone can go there to take classes.
If you want to withdraw from the Hanzhong School, you do not need to inform in advance and you can withdraw freely at any time.
Anyone who considers himself to be a Hanzhong School student can declare to the outside world that he is a Hanzhong School student.
The Hanzhong School is a school of thought, not a political party similar to the Donglin Party."
Lin Wenjing was well prepared. He and many students went to Hanzhong Middle School to attend classes.
The Hanzhong School is anonymous here, and you can also buy books and study secretly.
It is very convenient to learn the ideas of the Hanzhong School.
Du Yuan took a sip of wine and blessed: "Brother Wen Jing, you are more knowledgeable than me.
I took the imperial examination many times back then and my results were very poor.
You can only go to a big family and be a private school teacher.
Brother Wen Jing has been elected to high school many times, but he was replaced by someone else in his name.
Commander Su welcomes talents, and with Wen Jing's ability, it will not be difficult to pass the imperial examination."
When Lin Wenjing heard Du Yuan talk about something, a frustrated look appeared on his face.
This was the saddest thing for him. He took the exam twice in a row and it was announced that all the essays he wrote had failed, but the name on it was not his own.
The articles he wrote were stolen and replaced by others.
When he saw the family backgrounds of these people, he had no idea of declaring customs.
The grandfathers of these people were either cabinet ministers or senior officials in the six ministries.
He is just the son of a small gentry who owns dozens of acres of land, and there is no way he can fight against these people.
Lin Wenjing drank a large glass of Erguotou, just hoping that the imperial examination in the Tongling Mansion would be less shady.
He believed that Commander Su was also a far-sighted person and should maintain the fairness of the imperial examination.
…………………………
Qian Fuwen and Ding Wannian were drinking wine in the living room of Qian's house.
"Brother Ding, this is a treasure stored in our winery. I usually don't want to drink it.
It is a very pure high-quality liquor. Once this batch of stocks is finished, there will be no more Erguotou to drink."
Ding Wan came to Qian Fuwen's family and made an engagement to his son Ding Degui.
His son has made great achievements in the military. After this war, he will basically be knighted.
Ding Wannian is very satisfied with what he has done. He, the least promising child, has now become the most promising.
He was previously engaged to a family in Henan, but the other party immediately broke off the engagement.
He communicated with the Qian family through a matchmaker, and both of them fell in love with each other. They had just completed the marriage negotiations and got married after being ennobled.
Ding Wannian looked at the wine on the table. He knew some of the inside story about the wine, so he poured a glass and took a small sip.
“Grain winemaking has been completely banned by the government, and now even sorghum and sweet potatoes are not allowed to make wine.
I guess Sichuan is not too optimistic either. The food reserves can only feed the population and livestock.
Brewing is not a hard requirement, we can only wait until food is abundant.
I heard that your family drank this wine and killed a famous Baylor in Houjin."
When Qian Fuwen heard this, he laughed twice happily.
"You also heard the news from Hou Jin.
He should be a drunkard. He drank too much Erguotou and died of drunkenness.
This kind of situation is rare. I guess that Baylor from Houjin drank poisonous wine because he offended them profusely.
There is absolutely no problem with the Erguotou we brew at home.”
Qian Fuwen dares to say this now. All the Erguotou brewed with moldy grains was sold to the grassland.
He didn't expect that this kind of wine would be so toxic that it could kill people.
Now the winery no longer sells Erguotou made from moldy grains.
Moldy grains were brewed into industrial alcohol and sold to Taoist Master Ma Qiankun for use as chemical raw materials.
This is something that Commander Su personally explained.
Commander Su said that alcohol is made from moldy grains, and when the alcohol encounters high temperatures and concentrated sulfuric acid, the aflatoxin in it will die.
Ding Wannian took another sip of Erguotou. The wine was really strong.
"It's indeed a good wine, but I won't be able to drink it anymore.
When the ban on grain and wine making is lifted, I guess this old bone will be buried in my grave."
Ding Wannian said with emotion.
Qian Fuwen asked Ding Wannian for advice:
"Brother Ding is in the grain business.
I have a lot of friends, especially in the southeast region.
This time when Su leads Sichuan, industry and commerce will definitely usher in great development.
My father and son both work in the government, but we have a large family at home and we need to find something for them to do.
My family has always been engaged in trade and wine making, and the trade is mainly with Mongolia outside the customs.
Now we have no way to trade with Mongolia, so we can only let our family continue to expand the winery.
Commander Su also banned grain-based brewing and only allowed the brewing of industrial alcohol and medical alcohol.
With our status, we cannot do anything illegal.
Brother Ding has a lot of experience and can help me point out a clear path."
Qian Fuwen really wants to make money, and there are many ways.
If he wants to open other factories, he can easily do so.
His son Qian Mingyi was specifically responsible for managing these factories.
Qian Fuwen could not do this. The Qian family rose from a small businessman to a famous family in Hanzhong.
They are watched by many people and must never do anything that affects their future and that of their son.
If someone in the Qian family breaks the law, he will immediately call for inspection and arrest him.
The Qian family can only develop their own industry. They have been doing this for hundreds of years and are most familiar with this kind of thing.
When Ding Wannian heard what Qian Fuwen said, he also agreed that after the war, industry and commerce would develop greatly.
He sent his steward to inspect Sichuan and build a new grain processing factory.
The grain processing industry is very profitable now.
Grain is initially processed at the place of production and then transported, which can save a lot of transportation costs.
"Brother Qian, since ancient times, besides grain, fruits have been used to make wine.
Fruits are difficult to transport, and there are too few fruit growers now.
I have heard people talk for so many years that besides grains, the only ones suitable for making wine are grapes and sugar cane.
Hanzhong and Sichuan both lack these two crops, so making wine is not feasible for the time being.
If you have the skills to make wine, you can switch to making vinegar or soy sauce.
This kind of condiment is very scarce now and it is an indispensable item."
Qian Fuwen's eyes lit up after hearing this. Soy sauce and vinegar are very popular now. This kind of seasoning is a necessity.
Making vinegar only requires a few more steps than making wine. Their winery can easily transform. At most, they only need to recruit a few master chefs and buy a few patents.
"Thank you, Brother Ding, for your extensive knowledge."
Qian Fuwen and Ding Wannian talked about the specific marriage of the two families and what areas they could cooperate with.
They talked about the profits from the factory and found that the money they could make from running a factory, even after paying taxes, was much more than the money they could make from farming.
…………………………
Zhang family in Hanzhong.
The old man of the Zhang family called all his sons into the house.
Mr. Zhang, who is over sixty years old and was born as a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, is still in charge of the Zhang family.
As one of the few remaining gentry families in the entire Hanzhong.
The philosophy pursued by the Zhang family is not to annex land, but to rely only on poetry and calligraphy to pass down the family line.
They were unique among the gentry, but after Su He took control of Hanzhong, they basically suffered no losses.
The Zhang family is one of the largest booksellers in Hanzhong Prefecture, and their collection of books is extremely rich.
"Youfeng, come and tell everyone."
Zhang Youfeng briefly told his brothers how Commander Su captured Sichuan.
After Mr. Zhang heard this, he slammed his crutch on the ground.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Youtang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, frowned and thought about what his father meant.
He then said: "Father, what you want is that we must completely turn to Su He and leave no way out for the family.
I think letting Youfeng serve as an official can already show the attitude of our Zhang family."
When Mr. Zhang heard what Zhang Youtang said, he picked up his crutch and hit Zhang Youtang hard on the thigh.
Zhang Youfeng and other brothers immediately stopped their father.
"Dad, calm down, don't get angry."
Mr. Zhang took a few breaths and sat on the chair.
He glared at Zhang Youtang and said with hatred: "If I leave the Zhang family in your hands, sooner or later the Zhang family will be ruined.
How come you still can't see the situation clearly until now?
Commander Su has occupied Sichuan, his strength has doubled and he has established a firm foothold.
No longer a rising and falling rebel, Commander Su has become a prince.
Our Zhang family is in Hanzhong, so there is no way to avoid it.
They can only choose to surrender to Commander Su, the Ming Dynasty or other forces, and really defeat Commander Su.
They all have families close to them and will no longer accept our Zhang family.
Now Commander Su doesn't need us, there are more scholars in Sichuan.
Commander Su can obtain more talent support.
If our Zhang family does not take the initiative to join us, we will miss an important opportunity. Now the only chance left is the next imperial examination."
Mr. Zhang used his supreme authority in the Zhang family to change the attitude of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family must actively integrate into the Tongling Mansion, and all children must learn Xinxue and actively participate in the imperial examinations of the Tongling Mansion.
…………………………
"Qin Zhang, a letter from the Sichuan front line.
Please ask Qin Zhang to come out and receive the letter."
The postman from the post office stood at the door of the textile factory's courtyard and shouted.
Mrs. Qin Zhang hugged her daughter Qin Yun and ran out of the house quickly.
"Sister Li, this is my letter."
Qin Zhang is very familiar with this postman.
Her husband and eldest son both died on the front line, and she lived alone with her younger son.
The commander-in-chief asked her to become a postman, responsible for delivering letters.
Sister Li usually talks to them. The post office is an improvement from the post station.
Responsible for delivering all official documents from the Yamen, and is also open to the common people.
By buying a stamp, you can send a letter to any place in the Governor's Office.
Mrs. Qin and Zhang took an envelope from Sister Li.
I saw that the envelope was intact and several seals were not damaged.
She immediately rushed back to her room and opened the letter.
The envelope consists of a piece of letter paper and a passbook.
"Yun'er, look what this is."
Qin Zhang was illiterate and could not understand the contents of the letter.
Her daughter Qin Yun is a genius. It only took a few months for her to be able to read newspapers and master four arithmetic operations.
In the final exam of primary school some time ago, Qin Yun studied several months less than other students, but she got the first place in the whole school.
The teachers all praised her, and she might become the top female scholar in the imperial examination in the future.
"Mom, this is a letter from dad.
Dad said that the war was over. Dad became an officer and was praised by Commander Su.
In a few more months, dad can come back and reunite with us."
When Qin Zhang heard the good news, he was most afraid of seeing those gentle and gentle masters.
They just brought a small box and knocked on their own door.
Scenes like this appear every time I have nightmares.
Sister Li met her twice. Her family members died on the front line, and Master Zhu from the Martyrs Pavilion of the Ancestral Temple came to inform her.
Afterwards, officials from the Tongcheng government will come to the door in person to register the information and issue pensions.
It is a great happiness for my husband to send letters.
Qin Yun picked up the passbook, looked at her mother, and whispered: "Mom, these are the silver coins sent by dad.
The amount of silver coins he received as a reward for his meritorious service amounted to two hundred silver coins."
Qin Zhang immediately covered her daughter Qin Yun's mouth.
She noticed that there was no one else around, so she whispered in a low voice: "You must not tell anyone else about this matter.
We can't touch this money either, we can't touch it until your father comes back."
On her way to escape, she witnessed too many dangers in the world.
Hanzhong City is very safe, especially the textile factory family area. No one dares to rob openly.
She is a weak woman with a five-year-old baby girl, but she does not dare to reveal that her family has a huge amount of money.
Qin Yun nodded. She was smart and precocious and understood what her mother meant.
"If Commander Su wins the battle, I will be able to see my father soon.
Dad will definitely be surprised at the huge changes in our family."
Qin and Zhang couldn't even imagine what would happen to her husband if Commander Su really lost the battle.
What will happen to someone like Sister Li?
Fortunately none of this happened.
…………………………
April 25, the fourth year of Chongzhen.
In the obstetrics and gynecology delivery room of the newly built Hanzhong Hospital.
There were female guards standing guard at the door and in the delivery room, looking around with vigilance.
Mother Su kept wandering around the door, clasping her hands together to pray for the blessings of her ancestors.
Wang Bonuo, his wife and Wang Zhongce were all standing outside the door, their expressions solemn.
My sister Wang Wenjun has been in the delivery room for an hour, but there is no result yet.
This is the difficult delivery they are most worried about.
They saw a figure appearing in the door of the delivery room.
Qu Qingyi stood behind the door and introduced the situation in the delivery room to everyone through the door.
Everyone pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss a word.
"Sister Wenjun's fetal position is somewhat abnormal. The doctor is handling it. You must be prepared."
When Su's mother heard this, she wanted to rush into the delivery room.
"Wenjun, nothing can happen to you."
The secret guard immediately stopped her.
"Old madam, don't disturb the doctor's work."
The secret guards only carried out Su He's order to stay and did not waver in the face of Su He's mother.
Qu Qingyi said with a solemn expression: "Sister Wenjun asked me to inform you that the doctor is currently handling it.
She said she would be fine and asked you not to worry."
After Qu Qingyi finished speaking, she walked into the delivery room again.
Wang Zhongce stared blankly at the delivery room, feeling extremely anxious.
He was worried about his sister's safety and even more worried about the condition of his fetus.
Seeing that his second brother was a little panicked, Wang Bonuo comforted him: "You don't have to worry.
My sister is planning to build Hanzhong Hospital, where all the famous doctors in Hanzhong will gather.
A lot of the business of Wang's Medical Clinic has been taken away by Hanzhong Hospital.
Hanzhong Hospital is particularly proficient in obstetrics and new medicine.
Since the obstetrics and gynecology department of Hanzhong Hospital was established, the mortality rate has been reduced a lot, and the survival rate of babies is also higher."
"Brother, if I care, I will be confused.
Leader Su said that every doctor has his own area of expertise.
Gathering all doctors to set up a hospital and providing treatment in different disciplines can better cure diseases.
All the famous doctors in Hanzhong are gathered here. If you can’t cure it here, there is no place where you can cure it.”
Wang Zhongce sighed and stared at the door of the delivery room.
In the delivery room, Wang Wenjun was lying on the bed.
She scolded the doctor who was delivering the baby.
"How can I teach you normally, and how can you be so flustered when you deliver my baby?
Isn't it just that the fetal position is a little bit wrong? I took you to do experiments on cows.
The cow was beaten several times with appropriate force, and she gave birth to a calf successfully.
I have also taught you the repositioning technique for mothers with dystocia.
If I hadn't been able to move now, I would have needed you to do it."
Wang Wenjun groaned in pain. She found that her disciples were afraid of her and did not dare to treat her.
"Qu Qingyi, come here and listen to my instructions."
"Sister Wenjun, I don't understand medical skills, can this be done?"
Qu Qingyi said nervously.
"Just use the massage techniques I usually teach you. People like them don't dare to do it. I'll teach you how to massage."
Qu Qingyi gritted her teeth and followed Wang Wenjun's instructions and began to rub her belly.
"Easy...to the left...push harder."
The doctor who delivered the baby shouted in surprise: "Teacher, the fetal position is correct, I can see the head."
"Teacher, use all your strength."
The doctor who delivered the baby used forceps to assist Wang Wenjun in giving birth.
A baby girl was soon born.
The midwifery doctors looked tense when they saw that the baby was not crying.
The midwife patted the baby's back gently twice.
Loud cries resounded throughout the delivery room.
"Teacher, she is a daughter of a wealthy family. Look how loud she cries."
The midwife wiped the baby's body, wrapped her up, and placed her next to Wang Wenjun.
Wang Wenjun glanced at the wrinkled baby. The newly born baby was not pretty.
This is the child of husband Su He and her. As long as it is born, with her medical skills, she will definitely be able to raise the child.
Wang Wenjun felt a sharp pain in his body.
"There's still one more person who hasn't come out yet. You continue to prepare."
She didn't expect that she was pregnant with twins.
The second baby went very smoothly and was born without any assistance.
Right after he was born, he cried loudly, very loudly.
"Teacher, this is a young man."
Wang Wenjun looked at the pair of twins beside him.
She had been giving birth for more than an hour and was already very tired.
She insisted on feeding the two babies and watched them fall asleep after eating.
She also fell asleep, smiling in her sleep and dreaming of happy dreams.
Qu Qingyi walked out of the delivery room, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
They have all heard the baby's cry.
The biggest concern now is, is the baby a boy or a girl? How is Wang Wenjun's condition?
Wang Zhongce's nervous body was sweating.
He was most afraid of something happening to Wang Wenjun.
My sister's survival is the best outcome.
If the baby dies in infancy, the sister will be able to have another baby in the future.
My sister died in childbirth, and even if she gave birth to a boy, it would be someone else who would raise him.
Without the guidance of his mother, he would not be too close to the Wang family.
Qu Qingyi took off her mask and said with a smile: "Everyone, please don't worry. Sister Wenjun and the baby are fine. She gave birth to a pair of twins."
After Su's mother heard this, she was extremely surprised and said: "Rewards, there are many rewards.
The doctors who delivered babies were each rewarded with one hundred taels of silver coins, and the maids and servants in the palace were each rewarded with ten taels of silver coins."
Mother Su was very happy that her son Su He finally had a child.
This money is all the money she has saved in her daily life, and she has been reluctant to spend it.
I happily rewarded them today, and she spent the rewards happily.
Wang Zhongce was extremely surprised. This was the best result.
My younger sister, Wang Wenjun, survived the crisis safely.
Su He led the army to occupy Sichuan, and their regime became a separatist force.
The only hidden danger of this regime is that it has no heir.
If something unexpected happens to Su He, the rebel team will fall apart.
The military system of the commander's office plus Zhu Shi's guidance to the lower-level soldiers.
There is no place for warlords in the army.
The general could not command the army without receiving orders from Su He.
With an heir, Su He will encounter problems once he has an heir.
With the support of people like them, the power will not fall apart.
Su He has descendants, which means that the power can continue.
Those who followed the Suhe rebellion were more assured, and there would be far fewer officials secretly contacting the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhongce took out a pencil and paper from his pocket and wrote down the situation clearly.
He ordered his secretary Zhou Wenhua: "Have the post office deliver this news to Commander Su as quickly as possible."
"Sister-in-law, you will enter the delivery room in a moment and help take care of Wenjun."
Wang Bonuo happily replied: "Don't worry, my wife will take good care of my sister.
My brother and sister are about to give birth. My sister is fine. Please pay more attention to my brother and sister."
Wang Zhongce watched his sister-in-law and Mother Su walk into the delivery room.
After receiving the guidance of professional doctors, they changed clothes and strictly disinfected them with alcohol. They also had to wear gloves and masks before entering the delivery room.
Mother Su walked into the delivery room and saw two small cribs placed next to Wang Wenjun's bed.
Two very cute little beings were sleeping soundly in their cribs.
The doctor whispered to them that they could watch from the sidelines, but they were not allowed to touch the baby now.
There are doctors and secret guards guarding the place carefully.
