Chapter 1318: Children, do you have many questions?
"What does "coward" and "you" mean? What kind of riddle are these two playing?!"
In the backyard of the Jingnan County Government Office, the witch Ruonan was sweeping the floor with a broom in her arms, racking her brains and thinking hard.
However, I still can't figure it out.
"What exactly does that mean?!"
The witch Ruonan was going crazy thinking about it, and the traces left by the broom on the ground were like ghost drawings.
Coward, doesn’t that mean Zhu Ping’an is coward?! The woman asked the dowry girl Hua’er to come with her to warm the bed. The nerd actually lived like a monk and slept alone. If Hua’er hadn’t said that the nerd had gotten the woman pregnant, he would have done it.
I even wonder if nerds are inhumane.
Are you saying that Zhu Ping'an stepped in and didn't have enough status in front of the woman to say the honorific "you" to her?! However, nerds are all fifth-grade officials, so their status can't be so low, right?!
Impossible! The nerd is so proud at heart, how could he be so humble?
However, if this is not the case, then what exactly do the words “coward” and “you” mean?!
The demon girl Ruonan racked her brains and scratched her head subconsciously when she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she was almost stunned by her thoughts. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her face was wrinkled, and her hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
"Kid, do you have a lot of questions?"
Zhu Ping'an came out of the study and saw the appearance of the demon Ruonan. He couldn't help being surprised. When he heard the demon Ruonan saying to himself "coward, what do you mean, what do you mean?", he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and used the lyrics of "Xiao Gongju"
He made fun of Ruonan, a demon girl who was racking her brains and thinking hard.
"Tell me, what does your wife mean when she writes 'coward'? Also, what does the word 'you' in your reply mean? Tell me quickly."
The demon girl Ruonan came up and grabbed Zhu Pingan's sleeve, raised her battered face, and asked in a daze.
"Want to know?" Zhu Ping'an gently pulled his sleeve out of the hand of the demon Ruonan and smiled brightly.
"Yeah." The demon Ruonan nodded repeatedly.
"The answer others tell you is not yours, only the answer you think up yourself is yours."
Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" the demon Ruonan asked in confusion.
"I won't tell you, you can think for yourself. I'm doing this for your sake, to train your habit and ability of independent thinking." Zhu Pingan smiled brightly at the demon Ruonan.
Of course, this is not the case in the eyes of the demon girl Ruonan. In her eyes, Zhu Pingan has the word "deserve a beating" written all over his face. The brighter Zhu Pingan's smile is, the higher his level of deserving a beating is in her eyes.
At this moment, in her eyes, Zhu Ping'an's level of need for beatings has reached the full level.
"Zhu Pingan!" The demon Ruonan gritted her teeth.
"Don't thank me so excitedly. My name is Lei Feng. I never leave my name when I do good deeds. I still have something to do with the county government, and I have to handle official business. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you." Zhu Pingan turned around and left, his voice drifting over.
.
"Bah! Who's thanking you?! Stop being so sentimental! Also, you call yourself a ** and you still don't leave your name?! Wait, what kind of **?! You are the nerd Zhu Ping'an, and you turned into ashes like me
I recognize you too!"
The demon girl vented her anger at Zhu Pingan's back, but Zhu Pingan didn't even look back.
As a result, the demon girl Ruonan herself was very angry.
Don't you like to peek at other people's letters? This time I'll let you read it happily. Let's see if you still peek at it.
When Zhu Ping'an heard what the enchantress Ruonan behind him was saying that was going crazy, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with satisfaction.
Zhu Ping'an deliberately punished the demon girl Ruonan so that she could remember it well and serve as a warning to others.
At the county government office, Zhu Pingan received a letter from Wang Zhi, copied from Taizhou Fucheng, requesting the opening of Hong Kong for trade. The first time he saw this letter, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but sigh heavily. What should come will still come.
Already.
The Japanese pirates are coming! The Japanese pirates are going to wreak havoc! In the next ten years or so, Jiangnan will never have peace.
"In the 31st year of Jiajing's reign, Wang Zhi plundered the coast of eastern Zhejiang because his request to the government for trade was rejected. From then on, the Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more serious, and the Japanese invaders attacked cities and plundered territory with great arrogance."
Zhu Ping'an paced back and forth alone in the room with his hands behind his back, quietly reciting this historical record.
Zhu Pingan remembers this time very clearly.
Walking to the window, Zhu Pingan opened the copy of Wang Zhi's letters in his hand and read it carefully.
Open Zhoushan Port to facilitate trade and convert private traders into public traders
Wang Zhi is really whimsical!
Zhu Pingan closed the letter copy and shook his head speechlessly, unable to distinguish the situation or himself.
The moment such a letter was sent from Wang Zhi's hand, its outcome was already determined!
reject!
Otherwise, there is no other possibility!
The same is true in history. It is estimated that within a few days, the court's stern reply will come down. Zhu Pingan knew this well.
Next, Wang Zhi would become angry and angry. In order to achieve his goal and vent his anger, Wang Zhi would let the Japanese pirates plunder the south of the Yangtze River, hoping to blackmail the government and achieve the goal of opening up the port and opening up the city.
Taking this as a trigger, the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan exploded, became more and more severe, and was out of control.
"I received a transcript from the Taizhou government office. The Japanese pirate Wang Zhi sent an envoy to request the imperial court to open a port for trade and convert private traders into public traders. Such a request was definitely not accepted by the imperial court. I am worried that Wang Zhi is ambitious and may make a desperate move to allow the Japanese pirates to rob him.
We, Jingnan, are located on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not too far from Ligang, Zhoushan, where Wang Zhi’s followers are entrenched. If they allow Japanese pirates to plunder, our Jingnan will be the first to bear the brunt.
Take preventive measures before they happen, starting today.”
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't stop for a moment. He summoned Liu Dianli and other county officials to arrange and deploy the work of preventing Japanese invaders. He asked that from today on, the prevention and control of Japanese invaders in Jingnan should be the top priority.
Zhu Ping'an's prestige in the county government was growing day by day. After giving an order, Liu Dianli and other subordinate officials immediately executed it.
Jingnan quickly mobilized, and the newly built anti-Japanese sentry towers were immediately put into use.
In addition, Zhu Ping'an also ordered subordinate officials to go from village to village to inform the people to beware of the risk of Japanese pirates invading.
Although this move will cause a certain amount of social panic and affect the people's livelihood and contentment, these effects are nothing compared to the lives of the people, and the Japanese pirates are really coming!
The people must have the right to know and should also have the right to know.
Informing the people in advance about the risk of Japanese pirates committing another crime can allow people to take precautions in advance and reduce the harm caused by Japanese pirates.
Zhu Ping'an also sent people to notify Wuxi Miao and asked them to be prepared to guard against Japanese pirates.
