My life skills in Daming Liver

Amidst the sound of blowing and beating, Lin Shuli stepped into the Xichan Temple and shouted as he walked: "Congratulations to Su Sheng Senior High School Fujian Provincial Examination undergraduate Jieyuan, and the Jingbang ranking!"

The whole Xichan Temple was in a commotion, Chen Chaoyuan and others hurriedly led Lin Shuli to Su Ze's Zen room.

At this time, Su Ze had already put on a Confucian shirt. Seeing Su Ze's appearance, Lin Shuli couldn't help feeling that Xie Yuanlang was so young.

The more this happened, the more he dared not neglect, Lin Shuli stepped forward and said, "Please show Xie Yuanlang the proof!"

Fang Aizhu immediately took out Su Ze's pre-examination guarantee certificate and examination registration materials. After checking, Lin Shuli immediately held up the poster in his hand and said, "Congratulations to Xie Yuanlang! Please Xie Yuanlang accept the new crown! The Tribute Court accepts the gift!"

From this moment on, Su Ze's status has changed from a civilian to an official, which means that he can already enjoy all the legal benefits of an official.

The so-called "clothes and crowns" are part of the strict hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty, and receiving the crown is a hat that only officials who accept it can wear.

Fang Aizhu hurriedly took over the new head, and he stuffed three silver waistbands into the hands of the clerk Lin and the yamen servant who delivered the good news, and the other party was even more enthusiastic.

With Fang Aizhu's help, Su Ze put on his headband, and Lin Shuli continued, "Please Xie Yuanlang move to the Gongyuan."

Seeing Su Ze wearing a hooded head, everyone showed envious eyes, and the whole Xichan Temple was full of festive atmosphere.

Many students came up to congratulate Su Ze, Su Ze also returned the gift one by one, Lin Shuli did not urge, the title of the township examination is also a great joy in life, so naturally you can't walk in brocade clothes at night, this grand ceremony is to show the scenery of Jieyuan.

After everyone finished congratulating, Abbot Ci'en stepped forward and said to Su Ze:

"Congratulations to the benefactor!"

Su Ze also replied, "Thank you abbot."

There was a young monk standing beside Abbot Ci'en, and Abbot Ci'en said: "Xie Yuanlang has the ambition to control the river. This is my disciple Liao Hui. This son has not learned much Buddhism from the old monk, but he has learned carpentry. , if Xie Yuangong does not give up, let him rule the river with you."

Su Ze was overjoyed when he heard the words, Abbot Ci'en said again: "I have 30 lay disciples who are good at carpentry in Xichan Temple. Let's follow Xie Yuangong to control the river."

Su Ze quickly thanked the old monk, and Liao Hui stood quietly beside Abbot Ci'en, and bowed to Su Ze.

Only then did Sun Shuli urge: "Please Xie Yuanlang go to the Gongyuan to receive the gift."

Su Ze nodded, Fang Aizhu said again: "Master, the horse is ready."

Chen Chaoyuan said to his classmates: "Brother Rulin accepts the ceremony, we can go to watch the ceremony together!"

"Go together! Go together!"

A group of people also filed out and followed Su Ze to the Gongyuan.

There were also many scholars standing in front of the tribute courtyard. The acceptance of the gift by the tribute courtyard was a proof of the identity of the candidate, and clarified the teacher-student relationship between the chief examiner and the new imperial examiner.

Wang Daokun stood at the gate of the Gongyuan, squinting at the new imperial examination candidates in this subject.

The front of the tribute courtyard was naturally beaming, while Huang Shixing hid in his room and got drunk.

Ninety candidates retested, and Huang Shixing was the only one who was dismissed.

Although Wang Daokun did not pursue Huang Shixing's cheating in the imperial examination so far, but people with a discerning eye have already seen who failed the re-examination.

Rumors immediately spread among scholars.

Several scholars who were close to Huang Shixing all kept their distance from him.

Hearing the bustling voices in front of the tribute courtyard at this time was even more torture for Huang Shixing.

For the first time, he felt that living so close to the Gongyuan was really a kind of torture.

At this time, Huang Shixing heard another powerful shout: "In the provincial examination in Fujian in Yimao year, Xie Yuanlang and Su Ze led all the new imperial examination candidates to pay homage to the president!"

Huang Shixing jumped up angrily, smashed the white porcelain pen holder on the table, and shouted: "Su Ze ruined my literary name, I will never die with you!"

After this farce, Huang Shixing found that the only person he could blame was Su Ze.

Being able to blame someone else for your mistakes is easier than admitting your own problems.

As Xie Yuan, Su Ze led all the people to salute Wang Daokun. Wang Daokun first avoided giving in and praised the court's grace.

Finally, under the persuasion of other examiners, Wang Daokun accepted the ceremony again, saying that he was only recruiting scholars for the country, and everyone was a student of the emperor.

Everyone saluted again, and Wang Daokun received half of his body, which was considered to be the title of house master.

After accepting the books and clothes, all the juren have "official status", that is, "fame".

Unless the emperor deprived him of his official status, Juren could enjoy all the basic privileges of officials, such as going to court without punishment, and exempting two people from chores, etc.

Wang Daokun recited the article encouraging students to study again, and asked everyone to continue to study, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saluted Su Ze, and besides Su Ze, four more people came forward and said:

"Xie Yuanlang, I would like to invite you to organize the Luming Banquet in three days' time."

The Luming Banquet is a celebration banquet after the provincial examination. This is also the first group activity of this year's new imperial examination candidates. Su Ze nodded and said, "Su can't support himself alone, so please help me."

These four people are the second to fifth in this year's provincial examination, and the four of them cupped their hands and said, "You should obey your fate."

Seeing that the four of them were not very old, Su Ze couldn't help feeling that it was time to become famous as soon as possible.

The four of them cupped their hands one after another and reported their families to Su Ze:

"In the second place in the undergraduate rankings, Huang Maochong from Xinghua Prefecture."

"The third on the list today is Zhao Bingzhong from Jianning Mansion."

"Fourth on the list today, Huang Zhiqing from Fuzhou Prefecture."

"Fifth on the list today, Lin Donghai from Quanzhou Prefecture."

Then Huang Maochong said: "When compiling the Tongnianlu, please take care of Xie Yuanlang."

Su Ze couldn't help his head getting big. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Could the four brothers help out? I'm asking you to help me with the same year record."

The four of them looked at Su Ze suspiciously. The same year record was the classmate record of the same imperial examination candidate. This matter has always been Jie Yuan's privilege.

Registering in the same yearbook is tantamount to controlling the network resources of the 89 Juren in Fujian. There has never been a reason for this kind of thing.

Su Ze smiled wryly and said, "I'm busy with everything, and I really don't have the energy to write the same year record."

Zhao Bingzhong said suspiciously: "The township examination is over, and it's time for us to relax. Why is Xie Yuanlang so busy?"

Su Ze had no choice but to say, "Treat the water."

"Water control?!"

Everyone exclaimed.

They looked at Su Ze suspiciously. Could it be that Xie Yuanlang's parents were flooded?

They also saw that the elders in the family presided over the management of the small river, but they thought it was the small river in front of their house that Su Ze wanted to control.

As a scholar giving back to parents, this kind of thing is naturally correct, but the four of them doubt that Su Ze is so generous.

Compiling the same year record is not just a simple enthronement name, but also a lot of things to write.

After writing the characters, we need someone to engrave and print them, and then publish them into booklets, and send these booklets to all the same years.

In less than half a month, it would definitely not work out. Su Ze was anxious to return to Nanping to control the water, so he entrusted four people to help.

Su Ze said: "Su was entrusted by someone to cure the flood in his hometown, so he will return to Nanping County after attending the Luming Banquet, and I will trouble everyone with the record of the same year."

After finishing speaking, Su Ze took out the money from his sleeve and said, "It is my responsibility to compile the transcript of the same year, and now I entrust it to you brothers, and I will pay for the printing plate."

The four looked at each other, and finally accepted Su Ze's money.

Since he did it by himself, Su Ze paid for the publicity money, which can be regarded as helping him to make a name for himself.

Although the title of the township examination is not the title of the gold list, it is also a happy event in the world. Su Ze first took his classmates from the county school to eat a few meals in Fuzhou Prefecture.

Hearing the news, Second Young Master Yu also appeared quickly, generously helped Su Ze pay the bill, and took Su Ze for a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Second Young Master Yu is about to start martial arts in one month, but seeing his increasingly fat body, Su Ze guessed that Yu's family has already taken care of it.

The Luming Banquet was held in the Gongyuan. The Luming Qionglin Second Banquet was originally a banquet after the Tang and Song palace examinations.

Daming split the two banquets, Lu Ming belonged to the township examination, and Qionglin belonged to the palace examination.

However, unlike the banquets held by new academicians in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Daming Luming Banquet was a ceremonial banquet, and the process was regulated, and Wang Daokun, the house master, was also present.

With red flowers on Su Ze's hat, he completed the banquet in a serious manner, and composed a well-regulated chant on the spot. Then he dragged his exhausted body back to Xichan Temple.

"Uncle, Madam sent a message to let me return to Nanping with you."

Su Ze looked at Fang Aizhu, and had to say that Fang's family was an official family after all, and servants were different.

This Fang Aizhu can read and write, and he is also well-behaved. If he hadn't helped take care of things these days, Su Ze would really be too busy with many things.

However, as a modern time traveler, Su Ze still doesn't like someone serving him like this.

At this moment, half drunk and half awake, he asked, "Why do you want to be a servant?"

Fang Aizhu lowered her head and said sadly: "If it's not a last resort, who would be willing to be a slave, but if it wasn't for the madam who rescued her back then, Fang would have starved to death long ago."

Although Fang Wanghai can be regarded as a family heir to poetry and writing, there have been no Jinshi for several generations, and there is no so-called family-born child in the family. These servants were selected and trained by Mrs. Li after she became prosperous.

Fang Aizhu was originally an orphan fleeing from famine, but was bought by Mrs. Li and educated since childhood. She was also considered a trustworthy person in the Fang family, so she was sent to serve Su Ze.

Fang Aizhu said: "Actually Madam also said that if I want to leave the mansion, I will return the deed to me immediately, but what can I do if I leave Fang's mansion?"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment. For Fang Aizhu, staying in Fangfu was the best choice.

Sure enough, it is not enough to talk about "liberation" out of the limitations of the times, but what kind of world is a world where only slaves can survive?

He patted Fang Aizhu's shoulder and said:

"I'm not used to being served by maids. You find someone to take them back to Quanzhou Mansion. You stay by my side to help. If you want to leave the mansion in the future, I will help you get back the contract from your wife."

Fang Aizhu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

After the Luming Banquet, Su Ze did not continue to stay in Fuzhou Mansion, but returned to Nanping County with 30 carpenters from Xichan Temple and Nanping classmates.

At the same time, after completing the work of printing scrolls, Zhang Sijing, the pusher of Yanping Mansion, also returned to Nanping City.

Inside the carriage, Huang Shixing said indignantly: "Master Zhang! Su Ze must have got through with Inspector Wang! Otherwise, how could he be admitted to Xie Yuan with his ability!"

Zhang Sijing didn't speak, he was also very dissatisfied with Huang Shixing at this time.

I gave you all the papers, and you were rejected in the final re-examination. Zhang Sijing is also a second-class Jinshi, so naturally he looks down on Huang Shixing like this.

But by helping him cheat, he was actually bound to Huang Shixing, so Zhang Sijing could only persuade him patiently.

Zhang Sijing added: "There is news from Nanping that Eunuch Tao really wants to control the river."

"Jiehe?"

Zhang Sijing said: "I heard that eunuch Tao is going to control the floods in the whole province, and he will distribute new coins to those mud legs as wages."

Huang Shixing was shocked and said, "It's not a forced exchange?"

Zhang Sijing nodded and said: "This eunuch wants to buy people's hearts in Fujian, and I will wait for Qingliu to let him succeed!"

In Zhang Sijing's view, eunuchs are eunuchs. If Eunuch Tao just exploited Fujian, that's fine, but if he wins the hearts of the people, wouldn't it appear that these Qingliu literati and bureaucrats are just eating nothing?

Qingliu and the eunuch party have always been in opposition, and opposing eunuchs is also the political correctness of scholar-bureaucrats.

Zhang Sijing looked at Huang Shixing and said, "If you want to control the river, you must clean up the paddy fields beside the river. I heard that your Huang family has many high-quality paddy fields?"

Huang Shixing was shocked immediately, the land is the lifeblood of these country gentry and landlords, and the Huang family is a big family in Nanping, who have been occupying the high-quality paddy fields by the river.

Huang Shixing immediately said: "This stray dog ​​wants to use water control to compete with the people for profit?"

Zhang Sijing nodded and said, "That's right. I've already written a letter about the eunuch party's movements to the censor friends in the court. They will certainly issue an impeachment letter, but in Nanping Mansion we also need to make a little noise to cooperate." .”

Huang Shixing immediately understood what Zhang Sijing meant. Since they wanted to control the water and clear the fields, it was natural for them, the landlords, to make trouble, so that they could cooperate with Zhang Sijing's actions.

The new coins have not yet been issued. If eunuch Tao can be impeached at this time, these big households can make more rampant private coining.

Thinking of this, Huang Shixing summoned up his fighting spirit again. He was filled with a sense of justice, and wanted to fight Quan Xun.

Su Ze returned to Nanping, and went to Tao Gonggong's mint before entering the city.

"Congratulations to Rulin High School Jie Yuan!"

Eunuch Tao is naturally well-informed. He was taken aback when he saw Su Ze, and then congratulated him.

"Isn't Rulin compiling the Tongnian Lu in Fuzhou Prefecture?"

Su Ze said: "The matter of water control cannot be delayed. We should start work immediately when there is little rain during this period. If we wait until the typhoon comes, we will not be able to start work this year."

Eunuch Tao's heart warmed up. He didn't expect Su Ze to rush back to control the water. He immediately said, "All the personnel and supplies are ready. We can control the river just by giving an order!"

"What about the new coins?"

Eunuch Tao said proudly: "The first batch of new coins have been minted, and they can be released just by ordering."

However, Eunuch Tao still said worriedly: "Duke Xie Yuan, can this really be done?"

Putting the new coins into the market as wages and forcing them to exchange for the copper coins in the hands of the big family is Su Ze's plan for Mr. Tao.

The most important thing about this plan is to let those powerful families who have hoarded a large amount of Song coins sell their old coins.

Su Ze said confidently: "Don't worry, father-in-law, and take a look at my river control plan."

After finishing speaking, Su Ze asked the carpenter of Xichan Temple to bring in the sand table. He pointed to Minjiang and said:

"Govern Minjiang first, rule the Minjiang River. Mr. Tao, please see, the reason why the Minjiang River has flooded in recent years is because these dikes and dams have been eroded by land reclamation."

Su Ze pointed to Jiufeng Mountain again and said: "If the Minjiang River is to be safe during the flood season, I plan to build a reservoir near here. There are several Zhuangzi of the Nanping clan here, but the information I found from the county government archives, The registered area of ​​these properties is far less than the actual area of ​​the farm, and the father-in-law can buy them according to the area of ​​the field on the treasury, and it will not cost much."

Eunuch Tao's eyes lit up. He is also a smart person. He understood Su Ze's operation immediately.

Eunuch Tao stroked Joy: "What a drudgery!"
