Lin Yutong waited for the child to fall asleep, then moved over to grind it for the Fourth Master.
Reading a letter to Jiangnan Shizi, she was really shocked. Now she understood a little bit what the so-called reduction of ten will with one force meant.
Where does the most terrifying power come from? Is it the external enemy? No! The truly terrifying power is dormant around you, or even within yourself.
Lin Yutong took the letter, and the wording of each letter was slightly different.
The fourth master not only addressed these officials by their precise names in the letter, but also occasionally mentioned some of their families. For example, he wished a certain official's grandfather a seventieth birthday and asked for information about another official.
He also asked whether his mother's lung disease had improved. He also asked whether his wife had given birth. I didn't know whether she was blessed with a daughter or a precious son. In the letter, he also told the official about his parenting experience in raising the eldest princess. He then turned around and ridiculed her again.
Another official's wedding celebration.
In short, he wrote a letter to all students who returned to Jiangnan, regardless of whether they were admitted to the Jinshi examination or not.
Lin Yutong couldn't help but sigh, the files that Fourth Master left for these students were really detailed.
But this opening chapter, with care like an old friend, instantly drew the relationship between them. It made them feel incredible. They didn't expect that a little person like me would be remembered by the Fourth Master.
Then the fourth master expressed his regret that these students did not stay in the North, saying that it was a regret in his life that he could not keep these learned people by his side to benefit all people in the world. Thinking of the short time together and contact, he also called him
He couldn't sleep at night. He was very much looking forward to the return of these great talents one day, and the door of Lixianyuan was always open for them. He would also stand on a high place every day, looking at the south, looking forward to their return.
As soon as I wrote this, I felt a thirst for talents. When I read it, Lin Yutong felt his eyes were wet and his nose was sore.
Immediately afterwards, Fourth Master changed his tone and talked about the current war.
He said he was in great pain. Thinking of how many innocent people would die under this artillery fire, he could not sleep or eat well. Thinking of the talents he missed, they might not have a chance to use their talents and knowledge, and they would lose their lives in the flames of war. His clothes were wet with tears.
.So, no matter what, he could not issue an order to direct artillery fire at these common people and these old people.
Then, he sincerely stated the purpose of the letter. He wanted to invite these officials to do some research for him among the people to see how the people in the South lived their lives. He talked about things in the North.
, talked about how much land each person in the North could be allocated, how much taxes were levied in a year, and how much income a person could earn in a year. He said that as long as the people in the South lived well, he would immediately withdraw his troops and would not let the war.
Burn down people's homes.
In addition, he also gave each person fifty taels of silver tattoos. He also said that the court was still in embarrassment and he could not afford much silver. This money was not a reward. He only thought that he was helped by his old friends by helping with the investigation.
I'm just busy. This money is for the postage. Please drag the results to a commercial bank or escort agency and send them back to the capital.
At the end of the letter, he also mentioned his ideas for the governance of the Southland. For example, taking back the land of the aristocratic families and giving it to the people for farming, exempting them from taxes for many years, cultivating themselves, etc. A series of measures to benefit the people were written eloquently. He was humble.
He wrote in the letter that he had never been to the Southland and did not understand the local conditions. Therefore, these ideas were just assumptions. He hoped that they could put forward their own opinions. He would listen carefully.
Finally, he said that he hoped to see a real Jiangnan in their letters.
Lin Yutong held the letter in his hand, thinking about what Fourth Master meant.
Those who were able to come to the north to take part in the imperial examination were born in a poor family. Otherwise, they would have spent money to become an official.
So, they are naturally on the opposite side of the aristocratic family.
You can imagine how they felt when they received such a letter. It is the same feeling as ordinary people receiving a letter from the head of state.
Happy, proud, unbelievable, ecstatic. Being able to write to them is a kind of affirmation in itself. And the emotions expressed by the fourth master in the letter will always make people a little moved.
Being appreciated by a monarch, what is this in a reading center? A scholar will die for his confidant.
Even if he knew that the meaning was not simple, so what? In Lin Yutong's view, even a scholar like Li Bai would laugh up to the sky and go out after receiving the emperor's call.
They all say that they 'learned civil and martial arts, and brought goods to the emperor's family'. This letter was an opportunity for their future career.
You're a literati! You have many faults. You're pretentious!
Therefore, Fourth Master helped everyone's face by giving them money, which cannot be said to be hard-earned money.
Then, emotionally and intellectually, they will unconsciously tend to the Fourth Master.
With these scholars, in terms of public opinion, the fourth master is no longer afraid of the aristocratic family. Even if it is an elephant, there are too many ants, and it can be swallowed up.
This is not the most powerful thing. The most powerful thing is that what Fourth Master wants these scholars to do is to investigate among the common people!
Since we go to investigate, then the fourth master's vision for Jiangnan will be revealed from the mouths of these literati. The difference in governance between the north and the south will definitely ignite the anger of the people at the bottom who are struggling to survive.
As long as someone guides them well, then the tenants of those aristocratic families and the people who rely on the aristocratic families will rise up and attack!
No matter how long the aristocratic family exists, how many people can it have? How many people can there be for the masses to suffer?
"Sir!" Lin Yutong gently sorted out the letter, "You are so powerful."
If you are not careful, those aristocratic families will be torn apart.
Fourth Master chuckled lightly, then put down his pen and rubbed his wrist: "I was just thinking about who can go to Jiangnan to take charge. Even if we are going to riot, it must be an organized, disciplined and purposeful riot."
Lin Yutong smiled and said: "There is only one person who can best understand your intention with this trick."
"Sanlang?" Fourth Master asked.
Lin Yutong nodded, except that he didn't do what he wanted.
Sanlang was called into the palace again early in the morning. The fourth master said nothing and pointed to the letter he had written after staying up all night last night, "You read it first."
Sanlang glanced at the fourth master. At first he thought that someone was reporting some dirty information about him. He was still worried about it.
Who knew that everyone would be stunned when they saw the content.
Isn't this meant to incite everyone to cause trouble?
"This is going to revolutionize the family's life!" Sanlang muttered in a low voice.
Lin Yutong almost laughed and turned around quickly, acting as if he didn't hear anything.
There was no unnecessary expression on the Fourth Master's face. He just looked at Saburo and asked, "What do you think?"
"Okay!" Sanlang put down the letter in his hand and looked at the Fourth Master with a strange look in his eyes. "If you send this letter out, it won't be a letter anymore. It will be a bomb. It's worth a million troops."
Not that exaggerated!
Fourth Master chuckled: "What do you think should be done next?"
The look on Sanlang's face slowly became more serious. After a long time, he said: "There must be someone to guide this. It's not just guidance, but also leadership. Without someone to step forward, the people below will not dare to do it no matter how dissatisfied they are.
It’s really noisy.”
That's right. Fourth Master nodded affirmatively.
Seeing the look on Fourth Master's face, Sanlang felt certain in his heart, and immediately said: "There are also these officials who can come to Chunwei because they are all Juren. The status of Juren is not low, and they all have students and classmates of the same year. Once a scholar
When a quarrel breaks out, everyone has to have scruples. They have scruples, but we don’t. And if our army cooperates..."
Before he finished speaking, Fourth Master said: "Then you will be responsible for this matter. I will personally send people to deliver these letters to the parties concerned, and they will arrive one step ahead of you."
"Going to Jiangnan?" Sanlang suddenly stood up, "Should I go by myself?"
So, at the end of the day, the fourth master issued an order and appointed Sanlang as the imperial envoy to go south to supervise the war.
When many people came to Fang Changqing to inquire about the fourth master's intention of sending Sanlang south, he felt that he had not been working in the imperial study for several days. The emperor asked him to sort out hydrological and meteorological data, and he had been busy with this.
Still sitting.
But Qin Tianjian can do this. Why do you have to do it yourself?
At first, he had no suspicion at all, because the meteorological and hydrological data happened to be where the front line was. He thought that the emperor didn't want the news to leak out, so he asked himself to go there in person.
Now, looking back, I found that the emperor was deliberately trying to push him away.
But why?
What did you do inappropriately?
What kind of thing is it that the emperor doesn't want to let him know?
He felt a little upset and a little aggrieved.
Seeing that Fang Changqing had packed up all the information, Fourth Master pointed to the chair on the side, "Sit down. I have something to say."
Fang Changqing sat down in silence, and for a moment he really felt that the power of God was unpredictable.
Fourth Master motioned to Wu Chun to serve tea, then looked at Fang Changqing and said, "I have deliberately tried to get rid of you these days."
Fang Changqing was stunned. The other party was so calm that he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Fourth Master waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's for your own good not to let you know."
Fang Changqing was from a noble family, and he had the element of safeguarding the interests of the noble family in his bones. If he found out, not revealing the information would be a betrayal of the family. Once the information was revealed, it would be a betrayal of the monarch.
Rather than being faced with a dilemma, it would be better not to know at the beginning.
After Fang Changqing went out with a lot of questions, Lin Yutong came out and said, "What are you doing? He will naturally know after a while. If it is so ambiguous now, he will go back and think about it for a while to understand what it means."
You have to say it, or don't say it at all. It's so half-covered that no one knows about it, but it has to be hinted at so that people can't guess it. It's hard for people to figure out what he wants to do.
The fourth master pushed Lin Yutong away: "Be good! Go back and breastfeed the child. We don't have to worry about it. It's hard for you to think about it, and it's hard for me to explain it. Be obedient!"
What do you mean? Why are you still looking down on people now?
