The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Sun Jie and Zheng Chenggong
"I support your idea, but there is a very real problem in front of us, that is, how should we get there, and whether our supplies are sufficient.

You must know that today's sea is full of enemy warships, and those warships are not only numerous, but also very powerful.

If our ordinary merchant ships go out, they will not pose any threat, but once our warships leave the port, I am afraid they will directly confront them, and the entire army may be wiped out by then. "

Zhang Hai said.

Zheng Chenggong had this idea, and Zhang Hai was very happy.

But these practical problems cannot be ignored. War is not a child's play, and it involves all aspects.

Especially in Luzon, where the Franji people are deeply entrenched and have been colonized for many years, they have long been operating there as a monolith. Unless Sun Jie directly dispatches a large army to completely eradicate them with an overwhelming advantage, otherwise, use refueling Tactics are just a waste of time.

Zheng Chenggong was also stunned by Zhang Chun's words. Obviously, he just came up with this idea and didn't think too much about it.

"You're right. The Franji people there have long been entrenched. It is not an easy task to drive out all the barbarians there." Zheng Chenggong was a little depressed.

There is too much free time here, he desperately wants to find something for himself to do, he thought he could divert his attention by attacking Luzon, and let himself forget about those unhappy things, but he never did Thinking of it, this road doesn't work.

The rain in the sky was still falling, and the night sky was getting darker and darker.

Zheng Chenggong didn't open an umbrella, and he went back in the shower by himself.

Maybe only the rain can make him feel calmer now.

Zeelandia City is a good place. It used to be the base of Hongyi, and a hospital church was built here.

All these buildings were destroyed by Zheng Chenggong. Those Western-style buildings, even if they were not destroyed by artillery fire, were all demolished in the end.

Zheng Chenggong is a very traditional person. Although he followed his father since he was a child and was exposed to a lot of Western-style culture, these things did not make him drift away from the Central Plains. On the contrary, they strengthened his belief in Chinese culture.

He hated these things very much from the bottom of his heart. After taking the city of Zeelandia, he replaced all the buildings with Chinese-style buildings.

After returning home, he thought of his father and his mother.

I don't know how they are doing now.

Compared with before, Zheng Chenggong doesn't have much hostility towards Sun Jie now.

The subjective hostility in the past has long since become a passive hostility, and this change has greatly changed many of his views on Sun Jie.

Those merchant ships coming from the mainland will bring different news every time.

Zheng Chenggong also learned from these people what the current situation in the mainland is like.

He also had other thoughts in his mind.

……

I can't go back to Chang'an this winter, I have to stay in Jinling for the New Year.

This is not the first time for Sun Jie to celebrate the New Year outside, but it is the first time for Sun Wenyue to celebrate the New Year outside.

The closer to the New Year's Eve, the more intense the flavor of the New Year on the streets of Jinling, but compared with Chang'an City, it is indeed a lot worse.

Pedestrians on the street were not as wealthy as Chang'an City, and their clothes were also patched, not very new.

But without exception, they all had very strong smiles on their faces.

This is their first new year under Sun Jae.

Although the time is not long, their changes are visible to the naked eye.

At the very least, I have spare money in hand, so I can buy some daily necessities before the New Year.

In the past, I didn't even dare to think about it. In the past, the Chinese New Year was really a disaster.

Not to mention how much money you can't save throughout the year, you might still owe a lot.

In the end, I didn't dare to buy anything, but I had to buy it, so I spent almost all the money I had saved this year.

But this year, they have a lot of money left in their hands.

For these common people, Sun Jie reduced or exempted a lot of agricultural taxes.

The money they earn throughout the year is basically all their own. If they have money in their hands, they will naturally spend it.

Dragon and lion dances, which had disappeared for a long time, also began to flourish in the streets and alleys of Jinling City.

Sun Jie brought his son, dressed in ordinary clothes, to experience the Southern New Year in Jinling City.

The land of China is vast and boundless, and there are great differences in customs and cultures from north to south.

Sun Wenyue is going to be in the country in the future, so he must know what is the difference between the north and the south, what are the customs and cultures.

Sun Wenyue followed closely behind Sun Jie, the smile on his face hadn't disappeared since he left the house, his eyes were wide open, and he kept scanning the surroundings.

Around their father and son, there are many guarding forces.

Ever since what happened at Sijiadao Station, Lu Xiangsheng was very worried about Sun Jie's safety, fearing that such a thing would happen again, so he increased Sun Jie's secret guard strength several times.

Of course Sun Jie could see the guards cruising around, but he didn't say anything this time.

Sun Wenyue didn't care about these things, he looked here and there, and even went to some small stalls to search for the goods sold by others, and when he saw some that he liked, he urged Sun Jie to buy them.

The place is full of New Year's atmosphere and joy, and Sun Jie will naturally try his best to meet Sun Wenyue's request.

As long as it is something he likes, he will basically buy it.

Like red lanterns, like wave drums, like these children's daily toys, Sun Wenyue carried a lot of them.

The smile on his face was like Maitreya Buddha, standing there giggling.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was walking at the back of the father and son, couldn't help sighing: "From ancient times to the present, how can there be such a family relationship in heaven?"

Sun Jie couldn't help but look at him like this.

Walking and walking, I arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River.

This place has long lost the prosperity of the past. Although there are also vendors setting up stalls on the street, it is not as good as before.

The river in the river course flows quietly to the east, but the painted boats on the river are gone.

The stickiness of rouge is gone, the river water is clear, and many fish in it have become more.

There is no longer the smell of the past in the air, only bursts of freshness remain.

Sun Jie stopped by the Qinhuai River, pointed to the river flowing eastward in front of him, and looked at his son, "Don't you want to come to the Qinhuai River to have a look? This is the Qinhuai River."

Sun Wenyue's eyes widened, he kept looking at the river in front of him.

"Why is this different from what I read in the book, isn't it saying that this place is extremely prosperous and a paradise for scholars?
Why do I feel that this place is not as good as our commercial street in Chang'an? It's not worth seeing. "

Sun Wenyue looked disappointed.

"So, some things should not be just looked at on the surface, if you don't go and see for yourself, you will never know what is going on.

Just like the Qinhuai River this time, the book is very well written, it says about 24 bridges on a moonlit night, where can the jade people teach the flute, and it says that it is prosperous and gentle.

If you don't go and see for yourself, go for a walk, how would you know the current situation?

Remember what I said, no matter what you do or what you do in the future, you can't listen to one side and believe it, and you can't just trust someone or something because of a certain person or something.

Before you see the truth of the matter with your own eyes, you must have doubts about everything! "Sun Jie said earnestly.

Sun Jie never likes to talk about those big principles, and always integrates these principles into something.

Only in this way can Sun Wenyue be impressed.

Many willow trees were planted on both sides of the Qinhuai River, which were planted by Sun Jie's soldiers after taking Jinling.

Now is the cold season, but these dry willows have infinite vitality.

Sun Jie led Sun Wenyue around the bank of the Qinhuai River.

From the beginning to the end, Sun Wenyue followed Sun Jie closely like a follower.

Finally, Sun Jie stopped in front of a small building.

There is a huge plaque hanging on the small building, with the word library written on it.

Sun Jie has a great hobby. Every time he occupies a place, he likes to build a library in this place.

The collection of books inside can be read by the common people free of charge.

Most of the books have exquisite illustrations, and the biggest purpose of doing so is to take care of those who cannot read.

The main responsibility is to tell the people today, the laws of how things work, and some popular science knowledge, human geography.

Of course, Sun Jie hopes that the people under him are knowledgeable and capable.

Speaking of this small building, it also has a lot of connections with Sun Jie.

When Sun Jie came to Jinling for the first time, he rescued many women who had fallen into dust in this small building. This small building was also inspected by Sun Jie himself.

After so many years, the smell of makeup and powder on the small building has long since disappeared, and a sense of righteousness is slowly brewing in the small building.

"The three words library, simple and clear, let people know where it is at a glance!"

Suddenly a young man approached from behind Sun Jie and spoke.

Sun Jie turned around, looked at the young man standing behind him, and said, "This little brother can read? Judging by your posture, you should be the son of a rich family. You are personable and elegant!"

The young man quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm just poor and settled down, how could I be the son of a rich family?"

"Looking at you, it seems that you are very interested in this library. If so, why don't you go in and take a look?" Sun Jie said.

The young man didn't refuse either, and agreed immediately.

Sun Jie walked in with his son and young people.

The small building has three floors in total, and the bookshelves occupy most of the place, and the remaining gaps are filled with benches and tables for people to sit and read.

There were not many people who came to read books, scattered scattered in the corners of the library.

No one paid attention to Sun Jie and the others.

At this time, the people here did not connect Sun Jie with the emperor who entered the city that day.

"To be honest, I admire His Majesty today. It is really unexpected that he can build a library."

The young man looked at the dazzling array of books in the library and said meaningfully.

"What's unexpected about this? Do you have another opinion?" Sun Jie became interested.

He really wanted to know what he looked like in the eyes of the people.

"It can't be said that there is a different opinion. I think His Majesty is indeed very powerful today. Where is there a place for the people to read books in the past dynasties?

The rulers of the current dynasty wish that the people could not read and write, because illiterate people are easy to rule, and the illiterate people are like cattle and sheep, like pigs and dogs, let them drive them from generation to generation, generation after generation. .Only in this way can they keep their rights.

Perhaps those emperors hoped that the common people could read a few words. After all, when there are too many people, there are always a few talented people.

But those landlords will not allow such a thing. Once there are more scholars, there will be more people competing with them, and the interests in their hands will be correspondingly reduced, so there has never been such a thing in all dynasties.

Although at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were emperors engaged in sociology, but in the end it was nothing. I hope that His Majesty can continue to do it and be a good emperor. " said the young man.

What he said was true, and what he said was sincere.

There is no ignorance of flattery, nor ignorance of belittlement.

It is not easy to say these words fairly.

"Then do you know what His Majesty is doing today? What do you think?" Sun Jie asked.

The words said by the young man in front of him are very reasonable. They are very fair and objective, and hardly involve any personal subjective thoughts, so he wants to hear other aspects.

The young man didn't think too much, and said: "It's hard to say. In my opinion, His Majesty today is very similar to Qin Shihuang back then. Back then, Qin Shihuang pretended to be the entire Six Kingdoms and the entire Central Plains in his heart. Today's His Majesty Pretending to be the whole world, the whole world.

The territory of the Great Qin Empire stretches from Java to Nuergandusi, and now it seems that it has begun to attack the Wa country again, from east to west, the span is so large, which is rare in the world..."

The young man talked a lot, and Sun Jie listened quietly beside him.

Sun Wenyue was very obedient and didn't interrupt, playing with the toys he bought.

When Sun Jie walked out of the library, it was already dark.

The sky is full of stars, and the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry.

This young man is none other than Zheng Chenggong.

After holding back on that small island for too long, he just wanted to do something.

But he couldn't attack Luzon, so he couldn't bear it, so he made his own claim, disguised as a businessman and came to Jinling.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the entire continent was really what those businessmen said.

Unexpectedly, from the moment he set foot on the mainland, everything was different from when he left.

This is a whole new world.

Zheng Chenggong had never met Sun Jie before, and he didn't know what he looked like. Outside the library today, he just regarded Sun Jie as an ordinary person.

Sun Jie didn't know him either. Although he was famous in history, he had never met a real person.

It was a unique coincidence that the two talked very happily.
