    ,

    The weather in Henan this year is good, and it actually started to rain very early in the spring.

    This is the first normal spring rain in Henan after six consecutive years of severe drought across the province.

    Tragic Henan can finally return to normal this year. Except for Runing Mansion, which is occupied by Zhao Han, there is no drought in other places in Henan.

    It's nonsense, God seems to be against Zhao Han.

    He only occupies two prefectures in Henan, but the prefecture with the most immigrants is about to experience severe drought this year.  On the contrary, the territory of the Manchu Qing in Henan will become smooth this year.

    In addition, Shaanxi, which has been in drought for more than ten years, is also enjoying good weather this year, and only some areas of Shanxi are dry.

    "The severe drought in Chongzhen" began to shift to the south in an all-round way.

    However, the Manchu Qing could not please, and hundreds of thousands of Liaodong soldiers and civilians collectively moved to North Zhili.  But this year's North Zhili is a drought-stricken area.

    To be more specific, this year's drought-stricken areas are located in the core ruling areas of Dorgon and Zhao Han.

    Come on, hurt each other!

    When Hu Dinggui plundered the population of Shenyang, and when Huang Yao took the Chengdu Plain, the frontal battlefield also began to act.

    Peasants in northern Hubei, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, Nanyang, and Runing were mobilized, and the grain Zhao Han harvested last autumn had already been continuously transported to the north.

    The Civil War is about to break out.

    At this critical moment, the focus of the people of Nanjing is not the upcoming Northern Expedition.

    ? No one thought that the Datong Army would be defeated. It seemed normal to sweep the Central Plains.  Their eyes turned to the officially published "Datong Almanac", "Twelve Qi Calendars", "Datong Zhengyin" and "Datong Dictionary".

    "Datong Almanac" is an adaptation of "Chongzhen Almanac", only some obvious mistakes have been deleted, such as the geocentric theory.

    The Hous and their sons were under surveillance in Shandong, but Zuo Liangyu was still vacillating.

    Just last winter, Hou Fangyu received the news of his mother's death, so he got rid of Manchu and almost returned to Henan for the funeral.  Then he entered Anhui from his hometown, wandered around for several months, and finally came to Nanjing.

    As soon as I entered the city, I saw guards carrying burdens and selling "Twelve Qi Calendars" to shops along the street.

    It is not forced to buy and sell, you can not buy it, but the date of collection of store tax in the future will be collected according to the new calendar time.

    "How do you sell the almanac?" Hou Fangyu asked.

    The guard smiled and replied: "Colored ones cost one yuan, and those without colors and paintings only cost one dime."

    Hou Fangyu has come all the way south and already knows the southern currency system.

    A few years ago, the Datong silver dollar, which was mainly used for merchant trade, has now become a very common currency in circulation.  One silver dollar is equal to one tael of silver, commonly known as "one dollar".

    Moreover, Datong copper coins have been added, which can be divided into five jiao, two jiao and one jiao.

    The traditional copper coins with square holes are still in use, about 800 to 1200 Wen, which can be exchanged for one yuan, that is, ten cents.

    However, only Datong copper coins can be used to pay taxes.

    The rest of Jiajing Tongbao and Chongzhen Tongbao are not recognized by the government and banks.  Although it can be exchanged at the bank, those are "waste coins" and basically can only be exchanged for the cost price of copper materials.

    "Let me take a look first," Hou Fangyu said.

    The colorful and painted version belongs to the wall calendar, with simple paintings of flowers, birds and landscapes.  Colorless and without painting, it is a desk calendar.

    Hou Fangyu brought not much money, so he bought a desk calendar.

    He found that the old and new calendars corresponded up and down, and beside the numbers in Chinese characters, there were also Tianzhu numbers (Arabic numbers).

    In the first year of the Republic of China, the Yellow Emperor calendar was 4339 years.

    ?The first day of the first month of the new calendar (Lichun) corresponds to the ninth day of the first lunar month (Lichun) of the old calendar.

    ?Continue to read and find out that there are twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, and each solar term is on the 1st or 16th of the new calendar.  There are 31 days in a big month and 30 days in a small month.

    However, due to the unevenness of the sun's movement, there are 32 days in May, only 29 days in November, and the summer solstice is May 17.

    Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "This calendar is easy to remember."

    Holding the newly bought desk calendar, Hou Fangyu first asked his old friend about the situation, and learned that Fang Yizhi was very popular with Zhao Han's new appointment, so he asked Fang Yizhi to pass the letter on his behalf.

    Zhao Han is about to go on a personal expedition, so there is really no time. Hou Fangyu is arranged for the morning after tomorrow.

    ?The founding emperor¡¯s personal conquest was not because he was full.

    Due to backward communication technology, military information cannot be passed back and forth quickly.  Moreover, the battlefield may involve four provinces. Zhao Han must move the headquarters to the front line, because no one can independently suppress the generals except him.

    & n??Hongwu Zhengyun is very similar, but the pronunciation of some Chinese characters has changed.

    However, it conforms to the traditional reading pronunciation rules.

    As long as the traditional scholars who have learned the pronunciation of reading, no matter where they are, they will definitely be able to understand the correct pronunciation of Datong.

    Hou Fangyu tried to use the dictionary to look up Chinese characters again. Whether it is pinyin lookup or radical lookup, it is infinitely faster than traditional word lookup tools.

    Hou Fangyu sighed: "This is a sharp tool for enlightenment, and its merits will last for thousands of years! If I stay in the south of the Yangtze River, I will be able to participate in the grand event together. It's a pity that I went back to Henan when I compiled the dictionary."

    Hou Fangyu was also helpless, he first went to Beijing to spend money to get his father out of prison.  After returning home, he assisted his father in defending himself against the rogue bandits in Henan.  Then the grandfather died again, and then the stockade was breached, and the father and son were forcibly taken away by Li Zicheng to become officials.

    ?Facing in the direction of Zhao Han's "Imperial Palace", Hou Fangyu felt inexplicable: "Writing, calendar, with this kind of merit, it is already a sign of prosperity. The sage is coming to court, how can we scholars not devote ourselves to it?"

    Another day later, under the leadership of Fang Yizhi, Hou Fangyu was received by Zhao Han.

    When the two passed by the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, they saw dozens of scholars kneeling to petition, hoping to abolish Datong Zhengyin.

    "A group of rotten Confucians can only do bad things!" Hou Fangyu said with contempt.

    Fang Yizhi smiled and said: "It's not bad, there are only a few dozen. The number of scholars who petitioned last time was one or two hundred."
