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

Regardless of ancient or modern times, no nation has ever valued history as much as people in this hot land.

For thousands of years, people have recorded in detail what their ancestors did, compiled it, and handed it down, so that future generations will remember what their ancestors did.

History is a sacred thing, Sun Jie deeply believes it.

As for the history of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Jie had already considered it in his heart, but he had not been able to make a decision.

The history books compiled by the Ming court itself, Sun Jie had people take them back to Chang'an for safekeeping.

Now, this incident suddenly appeared, which surprised Sun Jie greatly.

Originally, I thought that the history of the Ming Dynasty would never appear again, but I didn't expect it to appear in this way.

Looking at the memorial on the table, Sun Jie was full of thoughts.

The lamp was still bright, and Sun Jie walked out of the room.

This is Jinling, and there is a faint smell of dust in the air.

This is the dust splashed during construction in the city.

Today's Jinling has become a huge construction site, with construction going on everywhere.

All kinds of buildings rose from the ground, but the city walls and the intact ancient buildings in the inner city did not move and were all preserved.

Although no one was working at night, there was no wind or rain today, and the faint smell of dust wafted into the air.

Compared with modern times, this dust is nothing at all.

The moon in the sky was very round, Sun Jie frowned and thought.

Wucheng County is a place with beautiful scenery, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people and talented people.

The Zhuang family is a well-known wealthy family in the local area. The key is that the Zhuang family is upright and never bullies the people or commits crimes.

His family background was clean, and when Sun Jie marched, he did not resist, so the banker stayed and was not exiled or hunted down like those evil gentry.

The Zhuang family's house is not that big, it's just a courtyard with four entrances, it's really nothing in this beautiful land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In the dark night, Zhuang Tingyu sat in the study, seriously flipping through a thick booklet.

Due to eye disease, his eyesight was extremely poor, so he could only pick up the book, bring it close to him, squint his eyes hard, and read bit by bit.

There are three or four oil lamps on the desk, illuminating the room brightly. Zhuang Tingfeng holds the book and reads it cautiously through the light.

There were footsteps outside the door, and his father Zhuang Yuncheng pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at his son who was reading a book, he looked sad.

"You are in poor health, your eyes are sick, and the lights are dim. Reading books here will only aggravate your condition. You should rest early!" Zhuang Yuncheng said earnestly.

In addition, there was a hint of worry on his face that was difficult for outsiders to detect.

Of course he was worried that Sun Jie's killing of gentry was like killing a dog. If he became ruthless, no one would be kept.

If Sun Jie knew about this book, would it cause any dangerous consequences?

In the history of all dynasties and dynasties, although folks were not prohibited from compiling history, Sun Jie was different from other emperors, Zhuang Yuncheng was really worried.

I am afraid that because of this book, it will bring disaster to my family.

Zhuang Tingyu put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhuang Yuncheng, and said: "Compared with Zuo Gong who wrote "Spring and Autumn" when he was blind, I still have a chance. Clear some things, this is God's mercy.

The Ming Dynasty has passed away, and all the old people have left. If we can't record all the things in detail, how will future generations know what we have done? "

Seeing his son's stubborn appearance, Zhuang Yuncheng was very worried.

I tried to persuade some more, but it was no use.

Zhuang Tingfeng picked up the book again and looked at it seriously.

"The book is about to be edited and edited. It will be engraved and published at that time, and someone will be asked to write a preface. Father, please forgive the child for being rude, so I can't send it to my father!" Zhuang Tingyu fell silent again, his eyes were full of the books in front of him.

"Ugh!"

Seeing his son like this, Zhuang Yuncheng had mixed feelings in his heart, so he had no choice but to back out.

At the same time, I prayed to Mantian God and Buddha in my heart, hoping to keep his dealer.

A fish belly appeared in the eastern sky, and a tricycle with a shed stopped in front of the dealer's door.

This is the bus of the Wucheng County Government, and it is usually responsible for picking up officials or transporting goods.

Cars are still a rare item, basically belonging to the military, or in key cities.

Wucheng County is not considered big, nor is it a major city, so naturally there is no such thing.

Only some tricycles are used for public use.

However, compared with the previous carriage and ox cart, the tricycle looks much more decent, with a clean body, covered with army green canvas outside, and an official hat chair inside.

It is more spacious than the previous carriage and sedan chair, with inflated rubber tires, it is not bumpy to walk on, and it is also comfortable to sit on.

For these reasons, carriages, ox carts and sedan chairs were gradually eliminated.

Unless there is an accident, officials usually travel by this kind of tricycle.

Unless it is official business, officials are not allowed to use tricycles at will.

But the person in the tricycle today is none other than the Wu Zhirong who played to Sun Jie, and also the Wu Zhirong in history.

Now he is the magistrate of Wucheng County.

The tricycle stopped in front of the dealer's door, and he walked down from the back door, holding a distributed cowhide bag in his hand, shaking it three times at one step, and walked down full of momentum.

Looking at the tricycle in front of him, Wu Zhirong squeezed the goatee on his chin, and said with a smile: "Even if this kind of car is comfortable, it is more decent than a horse-drawn cart or a sedan chair, and it is very comfortable to sit in.

However, I heard that a car is more comfortable, but I have never seen it. If I can get a car sometime, it will be comfortable! "

The greed in the eyes quickly turned into substance.

He also knew that all his current thoughts were farts. Cars are not something that can be obtained with money.

The current output is there, unless the means are superb, don't think about it.

The dealer's door was closed, Wu Zhirong knocked on the door mercilessly without saying a word.

Footsteps were heard from behind the door, and the door opened from the inside in an instant.

It was Zhuang Tingyu's younger brother Zhuang Tingyue who opened the door.

Originally there were many servants in the family, but after Sun Jie's troops came, under orders, these servants all became free citizens and got a lot of land.

Now that I have made a living, no one is willing to work in the dealership, so they all run away.

The dealers were also smart, so they let them go without stopping them.

Except for some relatives, there are few servants in the family now.

Zhuang Tingyue looked at Wu Zhirong who was standing at the door, his pupils shrank and his face changed drastically.

"Why are you here?!" Zhuang Tingyue asked cautiously.

Not long ago, Wu Zhirong learned about Zhuang Tingyu's compilation of Ming history through some channels, so he used this as a threat to demand money from the Zhuang family.

Threatening them, if they don't give money, they will report the matter and convict them of premeditated crimes.

His appetite was so great that he even asked the dealer for [-] silver coins.

This is an astronomical sum, how can the dealer afford it?I can only give some money casually to fool this matter.

Wu Zhirong was originally a villain, originally from Fuzhou, Jiangxi. When Sun Jie's army marched into Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was a small official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed, so he immediately changed his family and joined Sun Jie's command.

For the sake of prosperity and wealth, he became a leading party and sold the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

He also compiled a book of famous gentry, scholar-bureaucrats, and great Confucians in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and reported them to Sun Jie's soldiers one by one.

He also reported several former Ming resistance forces, which were later reused by Sun Jie's soldiers.

This man knew how to exploit, and later, because of a series of things, he succeeded in becoming the county magistrate of Wucheng County.

He will not let go of any road to prosperity and wealth. After knowing that the Zhuang family was engaged in Ming history, he first asked for bribes, and then reported the matter to Sun Jie.

The result is to eat two ends of a carrot.

It's just that he didn't expect that the banker would bargain on such a matter, so that he never got the money he wanted.

Unwilling to give up, he ran over again this time.

With a big belly, Wu Zhirong held a government-style leather bag in his hand, and said with a smile, "Why am I here again? Why can't I come? What you said is interesting. This is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, why can't I come!"

Zhuang Tingyue knew that Wu Zhirong's arrival was not kind, but now that he is the county magistrate of Wucheng County, he did not dare to offend him, so he could only cautiously lower his posture and welcome Wu Zhirong.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhirong wouldn't go in at all, and stood at the door with airs.

"Let me tell you, although it is Daqin's sky now, you have to remember that I, Wu Zhirong, are in charge of you, and I am the blue sky on this three-acre land in Wucheng County.

You escaped the court's inspection back then, but that doesn't mean that you have no problem, let everyone in your family come out to greet you, I'm also the county magistrate of Wucheng County! "Wu Zhirong was aggressive and did not back down.

When people have money or power, they often lose themselves.

If it is not restrained, problems will arise, and it will become greedy and wanton.

This is the case with ordinary people, let alone a villain like Wu Zhirong.

"You, you are"

Zhuang Tingyue pointed at Wu Zhirong, feeling unbearably angry.

But I had to bear it again, so I had to go home and call out my whole family.

Zhuang Yuncheng stood at the gate, bowed his waist, forced a smile, and carefully waited on Wu Zhirong: "Master Wu, it's not that I don't want to come out to greet you, but I really don't know about your presence, otherwise, we must pour water on the street in advance, loess paving."

Wu Zhirong enjoyed Zhuang Yuncheng's flattery, and gradually became smug amidst the flattery.

"You people are just too soft-skinned, let me tell you, now is Daqin's heaven, no matter what you do, be careful.

In the past few years, many gentry have died outside. If you don't pay attention, it may be Java or Wa. "

After Wu Zhirong enjoyed enough, he began to blackmail them again.

The Zhuang family was so frightened by Wu Zhirong that they were honest and did not dare to refute.

Seeing that the Zhuang family's attitude became more and more respectful, Wu Zhirong walked into the house.

His purpose of coming this time was similar to the previous one, and he was still here to ask for bribes.

However, the banker is no longer what it used to be, and the money in the family is almost gone. In the past few years, a lot of money has been spent on compiling history books.

But Wu Zhirong didn't care about that, he just insisted.

The dealer's door was open, and I didn't know what was going on inside, except for continuous yelling and cursing.

Not long after, Wu Zhirong came out with a blushing face, stood at the gate, pointed at the inside and cursed: "You people, wait for death, hum, wait for death slowly!"

Throwing down a bunch of harsh words, he left in a tricycle.

The Zhuang family stood at the door, looking at the tricycle going away, with worries and fears on their faces.

"I said, how can this happen?"

A young man standing by the side of the road suddenly asked.

Behind the young man, there was a child following them, staring at them all the time.

Zhuang Yuncheng looked at the young man and frowned tightly.

This person's accent was very similar to that of the Wucheng County garrison.

"Could it be that they are from Shaanxi?!"

Zhuang Yuncheng muttered in a low voice, and then panic spread across his face.

Hastily led the people, got into the gate, and closed the gate firmly.

"Father, what's going on with these people? Just seeing you is like seeing a ghost!"

Sun Wenyue asked with a confused face.

It was Sun Jie and his son Sun Wenyue who came.

To be honest, Sun Jie admires people like Zhuang Tingyu. People who can sacrifice themselves to light the way in the dark are respected at any time.

Of course, this was not the main purpose of Sun Jie's visit.

There is a more important purpose.

Originally in Chang'an, he didn't feel it yet, but when he arrived in Jiangnan, Sun Jie felt more and more that there were some problems in the team.

Especially this time, no matter how you look at it, it is weird inside and out.

Before Sun Jie came, he asked people to investigate Wu Zhirong's identity and the process of joining Daqin in detail.

On the surface, there was no problem, but Sun Jie always felt weird.

A long time ago, Sun Jie gave an order.

The newly added territory in Daqin is appointed by local officials, mainly students from Daqin University.

Except for key key cities, counties or prefectures, if the number is insufficient, local clean, capable, and talented officials or gentry can be recruited, but they must go to Daqin University for a one-year training.

If the time is urgent, you don’t need to study at Daqin University, but there must be a two-year probationary period. During the probationary period, if you act recklessly, you will be demoted directly and will never be used.

When selecting local gentry or officials, there are strict regulations and rules, and at the same time polls are conducted. If the reputation or character is not good, there is no chance at all.

It has been less than two years since Sun Jie won Jiangnan, so it stands to reason that Wu Zhirong is still in the probationary period.

If it was really the Wu Zhirong in history, how did he become the county magistrate of Wucheng County?Even if he can deceive the early army, he will definitely not be able to deceive the follow-up.

Unless, he is not Wu Zhirong in history.

This is the best, at least, the team has no problem.

I'm afraid it's not the case.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, and there are interests.

I was afraid that there was a problem with the team.

It has not been a few years since the founding of the country. If there is a problem, it must be eradicated in advance without leaving any hidden dangers.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Jie planned to come over in person to see what was going on.
