Chapter 1322: Children, do you have a lot of questions?
“What does a ‘coward’ and a ‘you’ mean? What riddles are these two playing?!”
Jing In the backyard of the Nanxian Government Office, the enchantress Ruonan was sweeping the floor with a broom and racking her brains.
However, I am puzzled.
“What does it 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 it mean that Zhu Ping’an is cowardly? ! The woman asked the dowry girl Hua'er to come with her to serve and 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, she would have even doubted whether the nerd was inhumane
You, are you saying that Zhu Ping'an stepped in the door upside down and has no status in front of the woman to say the honorific "you" to her? ! However, nerds are all fifth-grade officials, so their status cannot be so low, right? ! impossible! The nerd is so proud at heart, how could he be so humble?
But, if this is not the case, what 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 question marks?"
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, "What are you doing?" It meant something, so I couldn't help but curve the corner of my mouth, and used Xiao Gongju's lyrics to tease Ruonan, a demon girl who was racking her brains and thinking hard.
"Tell me, what does your wife mean by 'coward'? And what does the word 'you' mean when you reply? Tell me quickly."
The demon girl Ruonan He came up and grabbed Zhu Pingan's sleeve, raised his battered face, and asked in a daze.
“Want to know?” Zhu Pingan 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 Ping'an 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 the level of "deserting a beating" in her eyes. At this moment, in her eyes, Zhu Ping'an's level of need for beatings had 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 deal with official business. Please forgive Zhu for not being able to accompany me." Zhu Pingan turned around and said Go, the voice drifted over.
"Bah! Who's thanking you?! Stop being so sentimental! Also, you call yourself Lei Feng and why don't you leave your name?! Wait, what Lei Feng?! You are the nerd Zhu Pingan, Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you!”
The demon girl vented at Zhu Pingan’s back angrily, 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 want you to watch it happily, let’s see if you still want to watch it secretly.
When Zhu Ping'an heard what the enchantress Ruonan behind him was going crazy about, 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 as a warning to others.
In 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 let out a heavy sigh. What was supposed to come was still coming.
Japanese waves are coming! The Japanese pirates are going to wreak havoc! For more than ten years after that, there would never be peace in Jiangnan
"In the 31st year of Jiajing, 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 Jiangnan became more and more serious. The Japanese pirates attacked the city and plundered the territory with great arrogance."
Zhu Ping'an paced back and forth in the room alone 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.
Opening Zhoushan Port to trade, converting private traders into public traders.
Wang Zhi is really whimsical!
Zhu Ping'an closed the copy of the letter and shook his head speechlessly, unable to distinguish the situation and himself
The moment such a letter was sent from Wang Zhi's hand, Its ending is already determined!
Reject!
Otherwise, there is no other possibility!
The same is true in history. It is estimated that in a few days, the court's stern reply will come down. Zhu Pingan knew this well.
Next, Wang Zhi will become angry. In order to achieve his goal and vent his anger, Wang Zhi will 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.
The Japanese invaders in Jiangnan took this as a trigger, erupted suddenly, intensified, and were out of control.
“I received a copy of the Taizhou government office, and the Japanese pirate Wang Zhi sent an envoy to request the imperial court to open the door. I am worried that Wang Zhiye will not agree to such a request. If he is so ambitious, he may risk everything to allow Japanese pirates to plunder, in order to blackmail the imperial court and achieve the purpose of opening up ports and mutual trade. Jingnan is located on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not too far from Zhoushan Ligang where Wang Zhi’s followers are entrenched. If he allows Japanese pirates to plunder We, Jingnan, will bear the brunt of the looting. In order to nip it in the bud, we will start from 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 Japanese prevention work. He asked that from today on, Jingnan's work to prevent and control Japanese invaders should be the top priority.
Zhu Ping'an's prestige in the county government is growing day by day. After giving an order, Liu Dianli and other subordinate officials immediately executed it.
Jingnan was quickly mobilized, and the newly built anti-Japanese sentry towers were immediately put into use.
In addition, Zhu Ping'an also ordered his subordinates to notify village by village, informing People are wary of the risk of Japanese pirate attacks.
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 common 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 Pingan also sent people to notify Wuxi Miao and asked them to be prepared to guard against Japanese pirates. (End of this chapter)
