Chapter 451 The general trend
"Dad, are you really grandpa's own son? How could anyone be so cruel to his son?"
Chen Tang has two sons, the eldest is Chen Shuo, who has already started a family and started a career, and is still a scholar and famous. The younger one is Chen Xuan, who is now seventeen years old and has been engaged and has not yet gotten married.
Chen Shuo looked at the closed door of the Chen family and kept silent, but Chen Xuan was a little indignant.
Even though he knew that this matter should have been done by his elders, his father was even chosen because of his father's identity and the direct inheritance of the Chen family.
It is not enough for people from other side branches to take on this burden.
But his peaceful and peaceful life was broken, which still made Chen Yan angry.
Of course, what made him even more fucked was that Chen Xuan soon met his fiancée.
His father-in-law threw his daughter to Chen Xuan, and threw another box of silver dollars, and then he patted his butt and left.
This is so ruthless.
Chen Tang was calm in his heart.
He took this job half-stopped.
In the Chen family environment, Chen Tang naturally wanted to go to the officialdom. God knew that he had such a high status but had no talent in studying. He had suffered a lot of pressure and burden over the years.
But as that said, think about what is missing.
The word "being an official" is deeply engraved in Chen Tang's heart.
But he knew that the old man would not agree to him to donate his official position to enter the official career, and this was too much of a loss to the Chen family.
The Guide Chen family is a famous Zhongzhou family with "one family, five Hanlin, four dynasties of Ciguan family", and such things are absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, joining the Zhao family became Chen Tang’s last choice for his life to achieve his goal of becoming an official.
Perhaps his father just saw this and directly clicked Chen Tang's general.
No matter what, Chen Tang can no longer look back, right?
"Let's go. Let's go to Chenzhou." Chen Tang said to his son and daughter-in-law and his wife and concubine.
The other four Chen family members who made the same choice as him all worked in Guide Mansion.
Chen Tang didn't plan to be in Guide. One reason was that he looked down on the position here, and the other reason was that he felt that he no longer needed him.
After all, there are four children of the Chen family.
So he is going to Chenzhou.
He didn't go to find Zhao Liang, but Kang Yuncong's.
The Kang family boarded the Zhao family's pirate ship earlier than the Chen family. Now Kang Dayong is a deputy director of the General Logistics Department of the Privy Council, and Kang Yuncong served as secretary to Peng Gongchang in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Chen Tang had contact with the Kang family, and now he needs the Kang family to recommend him.
And if he can, he hopes to put his two sons into the school and study. Especially for his youngest son, he will study for a few more years and consolidate his foundation, which will be more beneficial to his future development.
On the way to Chen Tang and his son to Chenzhou, there were reports of experimental fields in Heluo, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Chenzhou, Nanyang and other places passing through. The yield per mu of 700 kilograms is a line, and few test fields have average yield per mu of less than 700 kilograms.
The "Today's News" reported this continuously. At the same time, the thoughts on these golden seeds were also known by the newspapers, and the recruitment stations in various places were surging.
Even Chen Shuo, who had never expressed much about joining Zhao, looked very touched when he saw the crowded crowds of young men outside the conscription station.
"I see you are always depressed these two days. After seeing the current scene, do you still think that your choice for your father is wrong?"
Chen Shuo didn't speak, his expression was a bit complicated.
"When the situation is like the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, although Daqingguo has been around for most of the world, then Da Chen Ru, who emerged from the air, slashed hard in the middle.
No matter how rich the Jiangnan Lingnan Huguang Sichuan and Sichuan are, the food and silver pay there is still hard to transport to the capital.
There is no need to look at next year, just this year, and there will be a huge shortage of money and food in the capital.
How similar was it to the Chongzhen dynasty of the former Ming Dynasty? "At that time, Jiangnan was also very rich, but the court could not collect money at all. No matter how prosperous it was, would it be useful to birds?
The Chen family is a descendant of Chen Zhenhui. They have a different understanding of the situation back then than ordinary people.
"In addition to Zhao Chen's confidant trouble, Daqingguo also has the White Lotus Sect's troops behind the scenes. Sichuan, Sichuan and Shaanxi are unstable, the road to western taxes and taxes in Jiangnan was cut off, and the southwest was useless.
Although several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were rich, the southern troops were not known for their combat power; although the troops and horses of the northwest provinces were strong, they had no food or sound, and they were powerless to use.
How can Daqingguo not be dangerous?"
Chen Tang felt that his analysis was already very incisive, but the old man didn't listen at all.
It is believed that although the Qing court lacks money and food, the provinces such as Zhili, Hedong, and Guanzhong were not barren lands, and all the southern provinces also had loyal ministers in power. The Qing Dynasty was the world of the Eight Banners, and there were many bannermen among the governors in various places. In addition, the generals were in charge, these people would not be able to take care of themselves when they were in a dilemma, or they would be as ambitious as the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty. They would inevitably continue to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the court, actively organize new troops to train new troops. In this way, the Qing Dynasty still had great potential to attack in the north and south.
What else can Chen Tang say?
He felt that the old man should really come out and take a look, and see how supportive the people are now to Zhao Chen.
The foundation of the Zhao family, which was originally floating, has suddenly become so solid that it can no longer be solid.
With such people's hearts in his hands, he felt that the Zhao family had become invincible.
Moreover, the news will soon spread to other places, especially in Guanzhong, Hedong and other places, but now it is still full of rumors. But sooner or later, everyone will know it, what will the people think then?
Who doesn’t want to plant a year of land to harvest food for two or three years?
By then everything will become the general trend.
Of course, Chen Xuance also knew this, and he had already asked Wu Sanniang to do his best to promote it.
But it is still the late 18th century, and the speed of information dissemination is far less than that of previous lives.
So I still can't remember!
"It's time to take down North Anhui."
Although Zhao Liang knew that the trend of the experimental field had not yet completely swept across northern Anhui, he felt that it was time to pick the ripe peaches in northern Anhui.
There is no need to slap in any more.
The Qing officials from those prefectures and counties are now afraid that they are extremely desperate. It has been so long since the Qing Dynasty has sent a soldier to Jiangbei. Obviously, Qianlong has given up on them, right?
The squire everywhere understand this earlier and act earlier.
"Tell Zhao Bao, Xing Chengde, let them divide their troops into two groups, one along the Shaying River and the other along the Wu River, take Yingzhou, Fengyang and Sizhou, and let Peng Bingkang fight himself!"
After taking Anqing, Peng Bingkang had been entrenched in that area for some time, and his troops had expanded from 5,000 in one division at the beginning to more than 10,000 in three divisions now (one reorganized division and two garrison divisions).
