Chapter 409 I don't want to play with you anymore
It was the fifteenth day of June and the weather was so hot.
Looking back, Wu Jie had been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for two months.
"Here, come!" Everyone was shouting, shocking.
But in this noise, a buzzing sound of tides came faintly. Although the sound was not bright, it was deep and long, with no beginning or end, like a giant beast roaring in your bones.
Looking up, a tide rolled in the river a few miles away, pulling a long line at the almost boundless estuary of the Yangtze River.
That’s right, this is the best place to watch Qiantang Chao, a town hundreds of miles away from Hangzhou City.
It was also Xu Wenchang who was enthusiastic. Not only did he invite Wu Jie's family, but he also invited many local gentry and officials to accompany him.
Wu Jie was surprised in his heart, wasn’t the Qiantang tide only available on August 15th? It’s only mid-June now, can you see it?
Xu Wei smiled and said, "Shizhen, this tide is available every month, but it is different in size. It is smaller in winter and bigger in summer, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the biggest on August 15th."
Wu Jie suddenly realized that yes, the reason why the natural phenomenon of rising tide and ebbing tide occurs is because of the gravitational force of the moon on the earth, which occurs every day. However, at the fifteenth day of the month, the gravity reaches its maximum value at the fifteenth day of the eighth month.
He was in a bad mood recently and didn't plan to join in the fun. Unfortunately, since he finally came to sail for a while, it would be a pity if he didn't come to see the Qiantang tide in the world of civilization. Secondly, Moth seemed a little depressed. This time she came to the south to look for her father and brother, but she didn't expect that her family would suddenly disappear. In order to let her relax, Wu Jie accompanied her.
According to the records in hydrological documents, the size of Qiantang tide is not necessarily the same as the amount of water. When the water is too small in winter, it is almost impossible to see it.
Therefore, Wu Jie and the others came here this time, and they were also thinking about trying their luck.
When everyone heard the surging waves, they looked up. The tide was not small, and they all shouted in their hearts that luck was coming.
The people cheered in unison. I heard that Wu Jie, who is famous all over the world, and Xu Wenchang, the most famous scholar today, was coming. Almost everyone on the Hangzhou Prefecture table came, competing for the style of the two famous scholars.
At this moment, on the platform a hundred steps away from the river bank, Xu Wen set up a wine party, and the seat was filled with elegant people.
"Okay!" Xu Wenchang shouted, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the tide was prosperous in Shandong, the Han Dynasty and the Six Dynasties were prosperous in Guangling. After the Sui Dynasty and Wei Dynasty, the tide was prosperous in Zhejiang, and the earth's energy was from north to south. Some people knew it. The tide was the highest in the fifteenth month. I look at the current water trend, and it is really a big one. It is really a turbid wave that is emptying, and it is a destructive way to turn the rivers and seas!"
All the gentry also applauded at the same time, begging Xu Wei and Wu Jie to write a poem.
Xu Wenchang waved his head, grabbed Wu Jie's palm with his right hand, and laughed loudly: "Brother Shizhen, you are a poet of a generation. No matter how you want to sing a song today. Let me open my eyes."
Wu Jie didn't expect that the hunched and thin old man had such a loud voice, and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Wen, I am now shocked by the great power between the world, but I can't write a poem."
Xu Wei laughed: "It's really disappointing. A few days ago, I had a lot of fun with my brother, but I didn't expect that I would get nothing today. It's really a pity. Well, let's just look at the trend!"
Everyone else sighed at the same time.
The person's qi and blood are gone, and he is held by Xu Wei's hand. He feels cold and uncomfortable.
Wu Jie couldn't help but feel a little bored. When it comes to writing poetry, the masterpieces related to Qiantang Tide can be said to be countless cars. It is enough to copy them casually to shock everyone. For example, the song "Long-term memory of watching the tide, the whole country is full of people fighting on the river. Come and ask that the sea is gone and the sound of thousands of drums. The tide-talking tide stands at the head of the wave, holding the red flag in hand without wet. Don't look at it in a dream, but still feel heartbroken."
But the problem is that Wu Jie has no interest in showing off in front of everyone and is too lazy to show off this.
Wu Jie's life was extremely depressed these days.
It has been two months since he came to the south. He still remembered the situation when Emperor Jiajing asked him to find a way to urge Hu Zongxian to send troops to fight the Japanese pirates as soon as possible. He patted his chest and promised it.
The emperor was extremely pleased at the time and even said, "I am very relieved to do things in Wu Aiqing."
But as soon as he saw Governor Hu, he came to himself with a hunting demonstration, which made Wu Jie very unhappy.
However, after he came down, Hu Zongxian's chief aide Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang came over to discuss with him how to use military forces against Japanese pirates, which surprised Wu Jie.
First of all, looking at Hu Zongxian's appearance, Wu Jie thought he wanted to support the enemy and maintain his position in the southeast, but unexpectedly he had to discuss with him how to use troops. Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Hu Zongxian was extremely enthusiastic about power, he still stood firm in the face of national justice.
Furthermore, Wu Jie has been famous for Xu Wenchang for a long time. When he was learning calligraphy and painting, he used his works as a model and copied them day and night. Even the modern Chinese painting master Qi Baishi also carved a seal "Lack Dog under Qingteng", which shows the influence of Xu Wenchang on later generations. When he suddenly saw this cultural giant of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Jie was naturally very happy and couldn't help asking for advice humbly.
The two of them responded to each other's poems and wine all day long, but they became close friends.
However, when it comes to how to use troops against Japanese pirates, it looks different.
After meeting Xu Wenchang, Wu Jie was so happy that he exchanged a few greetings and couldn't wait to talk to him about how to fight against the Japanese pirates. This talk lasted for a long time.
Xu Wei was in the middle of Hu Zongxian for many years and was very familiar with the situation in the southeast, so he naturally knew everything. The two became more and more excited. They soon talked about whether coastal fishermen should be prohibited from going to sea and jointly protecting Japanese Japanese. At the end, Xu Wei proposed that although Brother Shizhen was famous for his articles and poems, he was quite proficient in economic management. Can he get a piece of information about the properties and fields in southern Zhejiang and Fujian coastal areas to see how much money it would take to change fishermen to farmers.
This thing is Wu Jie's strength, and he has brought all the information on the entire Fujian and Zhejiang coastal areas over the past ten years. After a few days, he finally wrote a tens of thousands of words.
During this period, seeing that Wu Jie was too hard, Xu Wenchang also held a literary meeting to invite Wu Jie to meet with local scholars. He drank a lot of wine and recited a lot of poems, which naturally won a lot of colorful sounds.
After Wu Jie got all this done, Xu Wenchang came up with a new trick.
"Brother Shizhen is indeed a great talent." Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "After reading the master's note, Hu Butang praised him endlessly and said that when ordinary people mention Wu Shizhen, they will say that he is a poem. In fact, if you talk about financial management skills, you are afraid that even the little master will not be as good as that."
Then there was a irrelevant praise, which made Wu Jie feel a little restless.
He couldn't help asking: "When can Hubutang send troops?"
"Hey, actually, the ministry also plans to use troops earlier, but the military salary is short."
"How is that possible? Aren't the army asking the army to set up their own card to collect liquor?"
Xu Wei: "Shizhen, you don't know that when there was no Lijin before, the army set out. All food, clothing and expenses were supported by the local governments. The required amount was offset from the taxes to be paid in the coming year. Now that there is Lijin, the local government will not pay the money, and the little Lijin collected is not enough. It is not much better than before."
He sighed: "The ministry wants to trouble you. Can you check if you can make a calculation? If you use troops against the Japanese, how much military salary will be required?"
Wu Jie complained in his heart, isn’t this a torment?
In the next few days, Wu Jie buried his head in the data and turned his eyes red, and then he always produced a data.
"Shizhen is really a genius." Xu Wei praised it repeatedly, and then said: "The war against the Japanese requires naval forces and ships must be built. Of course, it is too late now, so he can only rent some civilian ships and merchant ships to deal with it. The flowers in this... I have to ask Brother Shizhen to help count..."
Wu Jie only felt his eyes turn black. I was a serious liberal arts background, but I traveled to the Ming Dynasty but dealt with data all day long.
Does this Xu Wenchang want to exhaust me? No... He interrupted me for another week...
During the few days he followed, Wu Jie discovered an unusual place. He stayed in the Governor's Office all day, and was surrounded by Hu Zongxian's people.
These people were eyeing each other and were very rude to Wu Jie, a nobleman from the Hanlin Academy. They often scolded each other and even used military law to explain things.
The Governor's Office is very cautious. Even if you want to go out, you have to report it layer by layer. Isn't this just a disguised house arrest?
"This Hu Zongxian is playing a trick with me. As long as I drag it through this autumn, the weather will be colder, and I will not be able to use troops."
Wu Jie, who realized that something was wrong, hurried to find Hu Zongxian, but the people from the Governor's Office replied that Governor Hu had returned to Nanjing and said that there was something important.
Hu Zongxian couldn't see anyone anymore. Wu Jie was surrounded by Xu Wenchang's elegant face, which made him feel nervous.
After staying in the mansion for more than ten days, he probably saw that Wu Jie was not in a high mood, so Xu Wenchang suggested that he go to see Qiantang Chao.
The Qiantang Chao Guan Chao is more than 100 miles away from Hangzhou, and it takes four days to come and take a while. I will have a few more days to eat locally and have a few days to socialize with local scholars. This month will pass.
Xu Wei is very good at calculating and has made the effort to grind the water to a full extent!
Wu Jie felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
As I spoke, the tide became closer and I would reach the platform in a few minutes.
Xu Wei waved his hand down: "You can go, trendsetters, use all your skills!"
"Yes!" There were three small sampans parked under the platform, and the man with red scarf on his head was standing on the bow.
When they heard Xu Wei's order, they all responded with a loud bang, then picked up a bowl of rice wine, raised their heads and poured them into their stomachs.
Then he slid hard on the boat and rushed towards the tide.
In a moment, people and the tides meet each other.
"Boom!" As the sound of the sound, the white waves were surging, and two boats were overturned, and everyone on the boat fell into the water.
But there is still a high wave, spreading a red flag high.
"Okay!" With the cheers of thousands of people, the tide finally hit the shore, stirring up a wave of nearly five meters.
It's so spectacular that it's impossible to breathe.
Wu Jie and Xu Wei stood in the front, their bodies wet with waves.
Wu Jie was pushed away from Xu Wei's palm by the tide, and he took a few steps back and stood still.
But I saw that the little old man was still standing proudly in front of him, and he was really awesome.
But Wu Jie felt a sense of relief in his heart, and his thoughts moved: "Take a step back and the sky is wide open. I fell into Xu Wei's plan before! Hehe, we won't play with you anymore! You Hu Zongxian are unwilling to send troops, okay, I'll find someone else."
