Volume Two, Chapter Seventeen, Celebrities

The yard is very large, with an old banyan tree in the middle, with a stone table and a few stone stools surrounding it. There are three houses made of blue bricks and red tiles in the yard. The largest in the middle seems to be the main house, and the two cottages next to it may be where the servants live.

As soon as everyone entered the yard, a woman came out of the main room. The woman was thin, her face was a little pale, and her face was pretty beautiful, but the deepest impression she had on Yang Yi was still elegant. This woman had a kind of elegance that came from her bones, and her every move showed a different elegance.

"Minsi, why did you come back after you go out?" The woman came over to everyone.

"Songju, guests are coming from home. Go and soak the two liang of Huangshan Maofeng given by Mr. Qi. I want to entertain guests." When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yang Yi and the others for a few more times, then smiled politely, turned around and returned to the room.

After the man asked Yang Yi and the others to sit in the living room, he pointed to Yu Xin and Zhao Benchu ​​who were standing behind Yang Yi.

"Two, why don't you sit?" Yu Xin and Zhao Benchu ​​seemed to have not heard it, and continued to stand still. Yang Yi was afraid that the man would be embarrassed, so he turned to Yu Zhao and said, "Sit down, two gentlemen, too. I'm not used to standing like this." The two looked at each other, Yu Xin moved a chair and sat behind Yang Yi. Zhao Benchu ​​found a seat close to the door and sat down.

When Yang saw the two of them sitting down, he spoke: "This gentleman, you are not a fan of art. Yang is rude. He remembered after entering the hall. He has not yet asked what he calls him?"

"Haha, Lord Yang is not an ordinary person, and he cannot be treated as an ordinary person. In the following surname, Zhang, the only name is Jian, and the word "Cao Minsi" is Minsi. "As he said, Zhang Jian used a fan to write the strokes of his name on the table.

As soon as these words were said, Yu Xin behind Yang Yi couldn't help but look on his face, and he immediately took over the conversation: "Mr. Minsi is a famous scholar in Wuhu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous scholar in Anhui. In the middle of the first year of Xianfeng, Jie Yuan, the top name in Anhui Province, later gave up the opportunity to go to Beijing for scientific examinations. He claimed that his knowledge was not enough to help the world and the people, and he should go home and study more. I don't know if what I said is right."

Yu Xin is not a person who talks too much. He usually says a word a day. He suddenly says so much, and Yang Yi immediately understands that Yu Xin is reminding himself.

"It turns out that he is the style of a famous scholar. Yang Yi has been taught." Yang Yi quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

When Zhang Jian saw Yang standing up, he quickly stood up and returned the gift.

"Your Majesty, don't be too humble. I think Shanghai suppresses rebellion, acts vigorously and fights in Taizhou, and fights ten by one. Which battle is not a weak defeats the strong, and a weak attacks the masses. You are the adults who manage Jiangsu, but they are on the risk of appearing in this small town of Wuhu. Zhang Jian really admires the courage and the exquisite strategy." After Zhang Jian said this in one breath, he looked at Yang Yi with an insight into everything.

Yang Yi was about to say something. The woman he just saw came out of the room, holding a set of tea sets in his hand, put them on the coffee table, and said to Zhang Jian: "The water has not been opened yet, please take care of the guests." After that, he turned around and said to Yang Yipeng: "The distinguished guest is here, the little woman is polite."

Yang Yi also quickly returned the gift: "I came suddenly and disturbed my wife."

In ancient times, women could not enter the house and sat with the guests. The woman looked at Erya beside Yang Yi and said, "My sister is such a handsome figure. Can you come inside and talk to her sister?"

In fact, Erya herself felt uncomfortable sitting in the living room. When she saw the woman say this, she stood up gratefully and said, "Sister, you praise me. My little sister is happy to be able to talk to her sister." As she said that, she looked at Yang Yi and gave Zhang Jianxing a blessing, and followed the woman in.

"The jing chanting chrysanthemums and the resources of puppets and willows make the adults laugh." Zhang Jian said modestly, but there was a sense of pride in his expression.

"Haha, my sister-in-law's wife is elegant and dignified, and my sir is so lucky."

The two of them were kind enough to continue to sit down and speak.

"Mr. I speak very well in Linjiang. I can see Yang Yi's identity at a glance. My eyes are as sharp as Yang Yi admires it. However, Yang Yi has never been to show off since he came to Wuhu. I dare to ask how he saw through Yang Yi's identity." Yang Yi looked inquiring about his attitude.

Zhang Jian fiddled with the folding fan in his hand and smiled slightly, "I have heard that Jiangsu Governor Yang is not polite and respects his wives and concubines. This morning, I heard the fat man talk about the adults in Linjiangju. Others care about the fat man's words, but the adults are not affected. In addition, the adults treat their wife considerately and well-behaved, and the adults' appearance and age are very consistent with the rumors, so Zhang Jian dared to give it a try."

"So that's it. Listen to the words of Mr. Yang Yi, Yang Yi, was taught." In fact, Yang Yi himself was a master of observing words and checking emotions. However, the situation in Wuhu is subtle, and Yang Yi has not made the final decision on his next move. He was thinking in the morning and did not pay attention to the fat man's words, so he revealed his flaws. However, Yang Yi also admired Zhang Jian's keen observation ability in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Sir, please come. It seems that you have something to say to Yang Yi. Now you might as well say it bluntly." After Yang Yi said that, Zhang Jian was about to say something. Song Ju came out of it and took a kettle. It seemed that it was just boiled boiling water. Song Ju made tea for Yang Yi and the others and went back. Zhang Jian made a call, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After Yang Yi had also drunk it, he continued to say:

"Actually, I don't need to say that, I also realized that Wuhu is not a place to stay for a long time, but it seems that there is a deep meaning to stay in Wuhu."

"Speaking."

"I see the king's aura in my eyebrows." Zhang Jian said and looked at Yang Yi. Seeing Yang Yi's calm expression, he continued: "The future achievements are limitless. I am now the governor and the imperial court is bound by the government. However, although the fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, the people's customs are weak, and it is not enough to achieve great things. Now I have sent a thief Chen Yucheng to go south. The purpose of attacking Wuhu is basically achieved, but I am still staying in this dangerous land of Wuhu for a long time. Are you waiting for an excuse? Apart from that, I really can't find any other reason to explain the actions of my elders." Yang Yi stopped and stood up and said respectfully.

"Sir is a talented person in the world. Yang Yi admires it." Zhang Jian looked at Yang Yi and saw Yang Yi's expressions that everyone understood. The two of them laughed at each other.

The excuse that Zhang Jian said was actually the issue Yang Yi has considered these days. Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains will win the world. This time, Yang Yi was just helping Qishan and Xiang Rong, but in fact he was looking for an excuse to advance into the Central Plains. According to Shen Shen Qingshuang's information, Yang Yi had known about the conspiracy contained in the Taiping Army's actions against Wuhu. Seeing that Zhang Jian revealed the mystery, Yang Yi really wanted to see how much Zhang Jian guessed his thoughts? So he continued to ask: "Sir, why do you think Yang Yi's plan is?"

Zhang Jian smiled without saying a word, slowly poured out some tea from the teacup, dipped it in his hand and wrote three words. Yang Yi looked carefully and found that it was nothing else but the three words "Dabie Mountain". Yang Yi completely admired the famous Wuhu scholar in front of him from the bottom of his heart. The Dabie Mountains is the junction of Henan, Anhui and Hubei provinces, and the people are strong. Since ancient times, there has been constant people who have brought up their power. Yang Yi has always planned to cultivate his own power in the Dabie Mountains area, but he has no chance. This time he attacked Wuhu, Yang Yi deliberately stayed more. Now there is no way out for going east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Yang Yi can go west. After arriving at Dabie Mountains, he is trying to stay for a while and cultivate his own power in the local area and make plans for the future. Yang Yi did not mention this. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jian only analyzed his intentions from the surface phenomenon, so why didn't Yang Yi admire him?

"Sir, great talent, I wonder if Yang Yi is lucky to listen to Mr.'s teachings often?" Yang Yi officially sent an invitation to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian did not answer Yang Yi immediately, but just lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked Yang Yi: "I saw that the adults built a new army in Shanghai imitating the West, tried reforms in Jiangsu, and promoted the Westernization Affairs. What is the root cause of my current weakness in China compared to the West?"

"The system is a social system." Yang Yi replied affirmatively:

"Tell me." Zhang Jian was not polite either.

"Since the Industrial Revolution in the last century, social productivity has developed tremendously. The original monarchy seriously hindered the development of productivity. During the industrial revolution, the emerging bourgeoisie launched a revolution to change the monarchy system. After completing the social system reform, Western countries have developed thousands of miles a day, and their national strength has long surpassed our country. The gap between China and the West lies in the huge gap in social systems."

"How can we catch up with this gap?" Zhang Jian continued to ask:

"Revolution, only by first using revolutionary violence to control the regime can we talk about social change." Yang Yi answered firmly.

"Revolution? Jie was unrighteous, Tang and Wu revolutionized to attack him. What a revolution." Zhang Jian murmured to himself, "Okay, lord finally gave Zhang Jian an answer that he had been waiting for for many years. From now on, lord will be willing to drive him away."

"So, Yang Yi thanked Mr. " Yang Yi bowed to Zhang Jian again.

Zhang Jian quickly supported Yang Yi and sighed: "It's not me, Zhang Jian, who was proud of the imperial examinations back then, and he had the ambition to serve the country. But at first glance, the court is weak, the officials are corrupt, and the people are in dire straits, and there is no hope. Zhang Jian has been thinking about finding a way to save me China. Now, the words of the adults awaken Zhang Jian. It should be Zhang Jian thanking him."

"In this way, let us fight for the rise of China. Yang Yi, as the chairman of the People's Party of China, invited Mr. to join."

"The People's Party of China? What's the solution?"
