Vol 2 Chapter 953: Anonymous re-emergence (three shifts)

With a doubt in his stomach, Gu Ling embarked on the road back to Beijing.
This dilutes the sadness of parting.
He really hated Deng Cunli, half-talking, aroused his curiosity, and then people ran away.
Deng Cunli also failed to learn.
Gu Ling couldn't wait to return to the capital, so he asked his sister in person, what does it mean to occupy the site?
He didn't resist returning to the capital, but looked forward to it.
Pei Man is the opposite of him. She doesn't care about land occupation, she is only worried about Pei's family.
The cement road from the northwest to the capital is smooth.
In the past, it took more than a month to drag the family away, but now it only takes twenty days.
The capital is in sight, and I have already felt the bustling and lively area of ​​Gyeonggi.
As you get closer to the capital, there are more and more carts and horses on the road.
When passing the last toll station, the carriage was blocked in the road and could not move.
There are many carriages and more pedestrians passing through the toll gate.
There are rows of neat houses all around, there is a market in the distance, and schools seem to have been built.
"There is still forty or fifty miles away from the capital, how can it be so prosperous?"
"I heard that a super large racecourse was built nearby, and all the villages around the racecourse have moved here."
"The capital has changed a lot."
"This is nothing, Xinmin County is a hundred times more lively than here!"
"Hiring, Hiring!"
There was a shout from the buddy from a distance.
"Guozijian construction site recruits coolies, apprentices, masons... the treatment is favorable, and those who are interested should come and sign up soon!"
"If you can't recruit people here to recruit coolies, you have to recruit people in the towns below."
Someone gave the recruiter an idea.
The recruiter was unmoved, "Are there anyone who has just come to Beijing to find work from a foreign country? We include food and accommodation, three meals a day, one meat meal three days, and the wages will be settled once every ten days. !"
"Really eat meat in three days?"
"Of course it is true. Sihaijian workers are not deceived, and they can drink a bowl of broth every day."
With such a shout from my buddy, someone really applied for it.
Soon, the recruitment site was full of people.
Gu Ling and their carriage only slowly moved forward by one parking space.
I don't know how long it will take to pass the toll booth.
"Why is it so slow? Are all the toll booths dead?"
"I heard that someone came from the court and blocked it in front."
Sure enough, the court came.
The Hingbu doctor was ordered to see Pei Meng.
"Uncle returned to Beijing this time, how many guards did he bring with him?"
"According to the system, only bring two hundred people." Pei Meng sat on the carriage with a gloomy expression.
The Hyobu doctor trembling, put up a note, "Uncle, where are these two hundred people placed?"
Pei Meng was condescending, "Naturally he was placed in Luhou Mansion."
The military officer coughed slightly, "That's it, the imperial court gave the uncle a mansion. Whether the uncle lives in the marquis or the earl's mansion, whatever you want! But the two hundred soldiers must be placed in the earl's mansion, not in Lu Hou Mansion. Please forgive me, Uncle."
Pei Meng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the earl's mansion located?"
The Hingbu doctor hurriedly said: "It is only one street away from Luhou Mansion, very close. Some time ago, the court ransacked a group of officials, and the Shao Mansion paid for several prisoner residences. The mansion given to the uncle used to be The house of a third-grade civil official. Uncle, rest assured, the house has been slightly remodeled and decorated to fit the identity of the uncle. Mrs. Uncle has moved in with her family!"
"Uncle Ben knows! Is there anything else?"
The soldier nodded again and again, "After returning to the mansion, uncle will take a rest first. In three days, please go to the palace and saint!"
Pei Meng seemed to smile, "When you enter the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should send someone to inform this uncle. Why do you let you be a soldier of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Uncle Ben is not qualified to let the dog eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Are you honorable?"
"Uncle misunderstood!"
"Why do you misunderstand? Blocked uncle Ben at the toll booth, and then sent you a soldier in the military department to come forward. Is it humiliating Uncle Ben or humiliating the court? Who is your superior? Who sent you this trip?"
"Master Shangshu of the Ministry of War sent an official to take this trip."
"Who is stuck at the toll booth?"
"Commercial merchants."
"fart!"
"Uncle doesn't know anything. Recently, there have been large transactions between Racecourse and Huanyu Steel. There are a lot of merchants. The toll stations here are blocked for a period of time every day. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone at will."
Pei Meng squinted his eyes and stared at the military doctor, "What is Huanyu Steel?"
"Naturally, it is the place where steel and iron are made. Uncle, please look at it. Going over those hills, there is Huanyu Steel."
"Uncle Ironmaking understands that steelmaking? When will the Shaofu possess this kind of technology?"
"Uncle doesn't know that Huanyu Steel is nominally the private property of the Queen's Empress and has nothing to do with Shaofu."
"Oh!"
Pei Meng laughed meaningfully.
"Bingbu Shangshu sent you to see my uncle, do you have other orders?"
The Bingbu doctor shook his head repeatedly, "No other orders."
"Is the court busy recently?"
"same as usual!"
"Come here, give Uncle Ben a copy of every newspaper. Taking advantage of the time he can't move here, Uncle Ben has to have fun."
The personal soldiers led the order and hurried to the newsstand on the roadside, with three copies of each newspaper.
The soldiers are very thoughtful, uncle one, general Gu, and Mr. Dou also need one.
Pei Meng is also honoured when he handles things properly.
He sent the soldier of the Ministry of War and said: "I see! Uncle Ben will live in the earl's mansion!"
The Pei family did not separate, but the court took the initiative to separate the Pei family, which was really broken.
Pei Meng returned to the carriage, and while flipping through the newspaper, he chatted with Mr. Dou: "Could it be that Queen Gu's method is to separate our father and son?"
"With Queen Gu's wrist, it is impossible to separate the uncle and Hou Ye! Queen Gu has always been open and close when acting, and is quite generous!"
"Mr. Dou admires Queen Gu so much!"
"She deserves the respect of the old man! Look, the new Guozijian will move out of the city after the school building is repaired. For this reason, two roads have been specially built, one to Xinmin County and the other to this place. Now the Guozijian also learns from mountains and rivers. The college enrolls students every month and enrolls for free. Reading the newspapers, there is a constant stream of applicants. Just because the school buildings of the Imperial College are limited, there are not so many students, and the number of students has to be limited. When they move to a new school building, the Imperial College will be like a mountain and river. Like the academy, it has opened up admissions."
Pei Meng and the others are in the northwest, and they can also read newspapers in Beijing. It was only ten days and a half month late.
In the Northwest, some gentry and tycoons also collect money to run newspapers.
It was a pity that the publications were unscrupulous, unable to make a profit, and eventually ceased publication.
Everyone still relies on vendors to transport newspapers and periodicals in Beijing for entertainment.
"The imperial court officials were full, and they had a fight with a bunch of nerds in Shanhe Academy in the newspaper."
Pei Meng flipped through the "Guo Zi Jian Bao" with a very disgusting expression.
"Guozijianbao" has become the best place for officials to have a conversation.
Mr. Dou chuckled, "This hand is a great way to transfer contradictions! Uncle should learn something."
Pei Meng added: "The officialdom written by Zhou Shian is a good book. However, it also touched the interests of many people and stepped on the painful feet of civil servants and military generals. The empress empress pushed Zhou Shian out to bear infamy. Give me some benefits."
"Zhou Shian's name has moved the world, and the Zhou clan has been paid attention to by the world again, is it a benefit?"
"This benefit is not enough!" Pei Meng said bluntly.
He rummaged through the newspapers, but couldn't find the latest news about Zhou Shian.
Mr. Dou asked casually, "Uncle, what good do you think can compensate Zhou Shian for his sacrifice?"
Pei Meng said blankly: "Zhou Shian bears infamy, then the empress empress has the responsibility to clear him of infamy."
"The "Shanhe College Newspaper" is working on this matter! The old man learned that when officials scolded Zhou Shian most ferociously, the "Shanhe College Newspaper" began to be publicly released. Once it came out, it was tit-for-tat against court officials."
With that said, Mr. Dou pulled out the article on the "Shanhe College Newspaper" that had cleaned up Zhou Shian, "Uncle read this article, it is very in-depth. Guess who wrote it."
"Anonymous?" Pei Meng raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Dou laughed, "It's an anonymous name. The anonymous name that has disappeared for several years is coming out again, and it really is extraordinary."
"Is that the anonymous person who wrote the theory of the relationship between war and tax?"
"Exactly! Wenqing Bookstore is blind, so good articles, but refuses to be assembled into a book for publication. It makes the old man unable to collect it."
Pei Meng laughed, "It's interesting! When it's critical, this anonymous name will pop up and set the world. Has Mr. Dou guessed who this anonymous true body is?"
Mr. Dou stroked his beard, "The old man has a few suspects in his mind, but the old man carefully read their articles in recent years, and the writing style is different."
"Tell me, who are there?"
"Sanyuan Gong Yang Yuanqing, Sun Zhuangyuan, Zhou Shian, and the old immortals in the court! I even suspected the empress."
"Have you ever doubted Liu Zhao?"
"Liu Zhao can't write this kind of article." Mr. Dou is clear about Liu Zhao's cultural literacy.
Pei Meng stared at the content in the newspaper, "Uncle Ben guesses the empress."
"Uncle and the old man coincide. Haha..."
"Have you noticed that there is nothing in the newspaper about the Northwest."
"Yes! There is a mention of prices in the northwest in the price section below."
Pei Meng sneered, "In the northwest, you can't even get a page. Except for officials' verbal battles, it's all trivial matters."
Mr. Dou said: "Perhaps the court is not willing to let people know about the Northwest."
"Of course the court does not want the people to understand the Northwest. In this way, they can smear the Northwest and slander our father and son at will!"
"Uncle, calm down!"
"Mr. Don't worry, Uncle Ben is not angry, just because of feelings."
"Uncle, do you think about it, what should you say when you face the saint?"
Pei Meng dropped the newspaper and said, "Uncle Ben has nothing to discuss with Liu Zhao. If you want to talk, you can talk to the empress empress."
"Don't be impatient!" Mr. Dou solemnly reminded.
Pei Meng laughed, "Sir, don't worry, Uncle Ben is measured and will not mess around!"
