Go to ancient times and engage in construction

The gate of North College is very grand, and a new couplet is engraved on the gateposts on both sides of the gate, "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and family affairs and civil affairs, and the world cares about everything".This was written by Zheng Yuming for the third anniversary of the founding of the North College. He changed the state affairs of the Lower League written by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, into civil affairs. Zheng Yuming did this because the people of the vassal states do not have the concept of a country. At the current stage, Zheng Yuming cannot let it The people have national thoughts, and he also thought that all the talents in the Great Qin would abandon the concept of vassal states and join Wu.

As soon as Zheng Yuming's couplet came out, the students of North College aroused excitement, and Wenhui newspaper had their impressions and understanding of this couplet every day.The news spread to Ulsan South College, and the teachers and students of South College felt dissatisfied because there was no such a sobering quotation at the entrance of their college. Wang Jieyang wrote a ten-thousand-character letter to Zheng Yuming, with the central idea that Zheng Yuming had to write for South College. In the last pair, President Zheng had to treat the two colleges fairly.As a result, Fan Zhongyan's "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later" also came out.The students of Nanfang College were very satisfied with this couplet, and the Nanfang Daily had been buzzing about their impressions after reading it as well as their comprehension for several months.

Kuiji stood indifferently in front of the couplet that the bachelors admired, because he was illiterate.Kuiji looked at the students coming in and out of the gate of the North College, and found a strange phenomenon. Many students walking out of the college were carrying luggage in their hands.

"This strong man, what is the purpose of coming to the college? Are you looking for someone?" There are guards at the gate of the North College, and three guards are on duty every day.Seeing Kuiji with a long sword around his waist, a guard wandered around the gate looking at the students of the North College for a long time, and couldn't help stepping forward to question him.

Kuiji bowed to the guard: "This Huben, I was entrusted by an elder to deliver a letter to North College."

When Kuiji saw that the guard was dressed in Hufu and tights, with a short iron rod hanging from his waist, he thought the guard was a soldier.

"Oh, who are you looking for? Today the academy starts its long summer vacation. I'm afraid the person the strong man is looking for has already gone home or left the academy to go elsewhere." The guard had only been an auxiliary soldier before, and when he heard Kuijizun call him Huben, he felt Happy, warm up to Kuiji.

"Long summer vacation?" Kuiji was taken aback. Is this academy still on vacation?Those students who just picked up their luggage just now went home for vacation?

"That's right, it's the summer vacation. The college has two long vacations a year, one around the Spring Festival, and one in the hot summer. The hot summer has the longest vacation, forty days." The guard explained to Kuiji.

"Oh, that's how it is! The student I'm looking for is named Fu Mingchou. Huben knows this person." Kuiji frowned. Fu Chou was the person on the list given to him by the king of Tang who could best contact Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui. This Fu Chou His mentor assured Kuiji of his disciple's reliability, because Fu Chou's father died in the battle of the East China Sea in the valley. He secretly told Master that he came to Wu to study for the revenge of his father.

"It turned out to be Bachelor Fu. He seems to be still in the academy. Wait a moment for the strong man. I will report for the strong man." Fu Chou has excellent grades, is handsome and pleasing, and is a celebrity in the North College. The guard has known him for a long time.

"Thank you, Huben!" Kuiji bowed and thanked.

There was a small vendor under the big tree next to the gate of the North College. When he heard Kuiji and the guard mentioning Fu Chou, he immediately noticed it. Take a few steps for better observation.Kuiji's facial features are sensitive, and a single movement caught his attention. Turning around, he saw a small vendor dragging passing students to sell writing supplies, squinting his eyes to observe.The peddler failed to sell, and after being rejected by the student, he sat down on a rock under a tree, wiped the sweat off his face with the hem of his clothes, and cursed the temperature impatiently.Kuiji saw that this person was just an ordinary trader, so he lowered his vigilance a little, and turned his head to pay attention to the gate of the academy.

After a while, Fu Chou followed the guard to the gate of the college. The guard pointed at Kuiji. After thanking the guard, Fu Chou walked quickly to Kuiji.

"Excuse me, strong man, do you want to bring a letter from my teacher?" Fu Chou offered to help Kuiji. Kuiji looked like a knight-errant in appearance. It is also very convenient for Tang Guo to send letters to Wu Guo for such a person to deliver letters. You only need to entrust the Wu Guo merchant ships passing through Tang Guo to bring the letter into Wu Guo, pay some money and deliver it to the post station, and the post station will send the letter to various places according to the address.

"Fu Chou? Wen Mi is your teacher?" Kuiji didn't answer Fu Chou's question, but asked his identity instead.

"Yes, I am Fu Chou, and Mr. Wen is Fu's mentor."

"Please talk to my secluded place." Kuiji took a look at the bored yawning vendors nearby, and led Fu Chou away from the gate of the college, and walked to the side of the wall. Discuss here, unless you come here to hear them talk.

The peddler at the entrance of the college is responsible for tracking the movement around the college. Fu Chou in the college is the key surveillance target. Now Kuiji chooses a secluded place to talk to Fu Chou. If the peddler approaches, he will attract the attention of the two. Pretending to be trying hard to sell goods, he observed Kuiji and Fuchou's actions from different angles.

"Scholar Fu and Wu Guo have a big hatred, right?" Kuiji knew little about Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, and he needed Fu Chou to help him with details, but Fu Chou's thin arms and legs dissuaded Kuiji from thinking Let Fu Chou be his plan to assassinate his assistant.

When Fu Chou heard Kuiji's question, the expression on his face suddenly became weird. He lowered his head and nodded sullenly twice.Kuiji thought that Fu Chou was sad when he thought of his family feud, and he was overjoyed immediately. Such a person would not betray him, and would provide him with all the help for revenge, which was exactly what he needed.

"This is your teacher's letter, you can look at it first." Kuiji took out the letter from his arms and gave it to Fu Chou, and let Fu Chou read it to verify that he was a person sent by the Tang Dynasty, so that Fu Chou could be used by him.

"What can a strong man need Fu to help with?" Fu Chou's mentor Wen Mi called Kuiji a knight in the letter, and asked his disciples to provide convenience for Kuiji. After reading the letter, Fu Chou folded the letter and put it in his pocket.

"Haha, Kuiji came to Wu to do something important, for the king of Tang, and for you." Kuiji smiled slightly.

"Do something important for the king of Tang, and also for me?" Fu Chou didn't understand what Kuiji said, and was about to ask carefully, but Yang He's voice came from behind him.

"Brother Fu, I have already taken the medicine for my brother. Brother Fu, send it to Uncle Ru quickly, so that Uncle Ru can take it and recover soon." Yang He hurried over from a distance with a paper bag in his arms.

The family members of Yang He and Fu Chou were taken from their hometown to Wu State by the caravan of Wei's Commercial Company in early May. They stayed in the border refugee camp of Wu State for two days and were checked by doctors. Guaranteed by the Wei family, they left the refugee camp early and took the Wei's caravan to Gaoma Ferry.

There are only four members in Yang He's family, Yang's mother, Yang He's two younger brothers and one younger sister.There are many relatives and friends in Fu Chou's family. In addition to Fu Chou's mother and two younger sisters, there are five members of his uncle's family, and there is also a slave of Fu Chou's family.Originally, Fu Chou's family had two slaves, and the other slave had fallen ill and died last winter.

After Yang He and Fu Chou learned that their relatives had arrived in the refugee camp on the border of Wu State, they rented a hospital together in Wangdu.Fu Chou has a large number of relatives, so the courtyards here are separated by a larger space, and the number of rooms is two more than that of the Yang family. However, when sharing the rent, Yang He insisted on sharing the rent between the two families, because Yang He has more savings than Fu Chou. , The usual income is also richer than Fuchou.Fu Chou couldn't refuse the kindness of his classmates, so he could only secretly remember it in his heart and plan to repay it in the future. Of course, the kindness of Wei Zhong's family will be repaid in the future.

When Yang He and Fu Chou went to Gao Ma Tei Ferry to pick up their relatives in mid-May, they wept on the spot when they saw the faces of the people.Both Yang He's family and Fu Chou's relatives are very thin and extremely malnourished. Fu Chou's uncle also suffered from frostbite during the siege of the mountain depression on the coast of the East China Sea four years ago, and his joints suffered from joint pain. Unable to walk, if it wasn't for the wealth and wealth of the Wei family business, complete carriages, and many guards, Fu Chou's uncle would not be able to leave the Tang Dynasty if he carried Fu Chou's uncle on a car or on a stretcher all the way.

Seeing that Uncle Fu's illness was unbearable, after placing the two families in a rented hospital, Fu Chou and Yang He searched for good doctors and medicines everywhere, hoping to cure Uncle Fu's illness.In the end, it was Wei Kou who helped, and asked Huo Sihua to ask Jiang Gui, the first genius doctor in the Wu Kingdom, to diagnose and dispense Uncle Fu Chou.Yang He went to the Wei Mansion to do business this time, and by the way helped Fu Chou get the traditional Chinese medicine for Uncle Fu's second course of treatment from Cardamom.Uncle Fu has finished the first course of traditional Chinese medicine, and his condition has been alleviated by more than half.

Kuiji stared at Yang He who was hurriedly approaching, his eyes flickering.

"Brother Fu, who is this?" Yang He caught a glimpse of Fu Chou talking to a thin man at the gate of the academy, and abducted him with medicine in his hand.

"Kuiji was entrusted by Master Fu Xueshi to write a letter for him." Kuiji replied before Fu Chou. "Since Kuiji has fulfilled Master Wen's entrustment, it is time to say goodbye. The two of you will meet later." After finishing speaking, Kuiji cupped his hands, turned and left without waiting for Yang He and Fu Chou to react.

Kuiji knew Fu Chou's life experience, knew Fu Chou's relatives, heard Yang He's words, Fu Chou's uncle was obviously in Wu, and immediately became suspicious, feeling that the weak scholar in front of him was not as reliable as Tang Wang and Wen Mi said. The reason why I came to Wu to avenge myself and put my family by my side.To be on the safe side, Kuiji immediately decided to leave Fu Chou, and thought of another way to get close to Zheng Yuming.

"Hey..." Fu Chou didn't have time to call Kuiji, Kuiji had already gone away quickly, Fu Chou was depressed, and Kuiji hadn't told him the big things that Kuiji said.

"This person has the demeanor of a traveler." Yang He felt that Kuiji came like the wind and went like a shadow.

"That's right." Fu Chou felt something was wrong in his heart, a little uneasy.

"Brother Fu, let's go to the dormitory to pack our things, go back to the yard to spend the night today, and leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"

The college is already on holiday, but this year the first and second students of the college will get internships in various places during the holidays, which is specially arranged by Zheng Yuming.Next year, students from the first and second grades of the South and North Colleges will take part in the promotion exam, and those who perform well in the exam will be sent to serve as local officials in various places. Zheng Yuming hopes that these students will learn about handling administrative affairs through internships and be competent in local administration.

The places where the students practiced were decided by lottery. Yang He was drawn to Dacheng, Fu Chou was drawn to Nanbu, and Wei Zhong went to Zhou Cheng in Northeast County.Dacheng is close to Nanbu, Yang He and Fu Chou can travel together, and they can get together at ordinary times. Wei Zhong is depressed because he can't practice with his friends. After the exam this morning, he has already set off with the merchant ship at home.

"It's so good." Fu Chou subconsciously felt that it was a good thing for him to leave the king, and he nodded quickly after listening to Yang He's suggestion.

The peddler followed Kuiji closely for five or six minutes, but when he turned the corner, Kuiji was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that the follow-up had failed, he was not in a hurry. He just turned to the colleague selling tea and reported the situation to the colleague while buying tea.

After drinking the tea, the peddler returned to the entrance of the academy to do his small business, as if he left the entrance of the academy just to buy tea to quench his thirst.After the peddler left, Kuiji jumped off the hiding tree and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Kuiji didn't know that his appearance had been spread all over the capital's intelligence network, and as long as the intelligence officers found out, they would pay more attention to him.

Not long after Fu Chou and Yang He went to the dormitory to pack up their things and leave, a man in tight Tsing Yi sneaked in, opened Fu Chou's letter in the desk drawer, read it silently, put it back as it was after memorizing it, closed the door and left quietly.
