Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 310
It was already sunset when Qin Shao and Wang Yin returned home.

Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao were waiting at the door, and when they saw Qin Shao, they immediately welcomed him in.

Qin Shao didn't like Xingwang's Mansion because he thought it was too big, and it would take a certain amount of time to enter each courtyard.

After going to King Xing's room, he found that he was still sleeping and his breathing was steady, so he was relieved.

"what happened?"

Qin Shao's face was serious.

He didn't expect that King Xing was really sick, his body was not in good shape, and now he looked even more emaciated.

"My lord... In order to be more real, my lord took a cold shower at night, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness. As a result... I got a fever, which caused a cold, and the epilepsy broke out again..."

Zhang Zuo hesitated for a moment and said.

Qin Shao wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh deeply.

If he knew that when he came to Beijing to help cause such a result, he would definitely not go to Beijing, but if there is no...

But the consequences of not doing it are even more...

In the final analysis, in this society, the little people can only be the destiny to be manipulated.

If a person wants to be truly free, unless he stands on the highest point.

You want to be a happy little landlord, and a word from others can decide your fate and make you lose everything.

In the night, Qin Shao sat in the courtyard and looked at the sky full of stars.

"Grandpa, be careful of the cold!"

Han Jinrong came over with a thick dress.

"It's okay, I'm not cold!"

Qin Shao hurriedly stood up.

Han Jinrong was almost three months pregnant, and she had been sick with morning sickness.

Despite this, she has been running the house and taking care of King Xing.

When she came back by herself yesterday, she wanted to wash Qin Shao's feet, but Qin Shao refused.

Who knew that she looked lonely and even wanted to cry.

This ancient woman is too virtuous, but she is actually a little tired.

Qin Shao had no choice but to ask someone to fetch water, and got her a small stool for her to sit on and wash her feet.

Qin Shao appraised her hard work and asked her to find the housekeeper to take care of the housework, but she was worried.

My daughter-in-law is a worry about her life!

Qin Shao saw that her morning sickness had improved a lot in the past two days, and her mental state was not bad, so she didn't say anything.

"What is Grandpa thinking?"

Han Jinrong looked at Qin Shao and asked.

Although the two have not been married for a long time, they have been dependent on each other all the way and are quite familiar with each other. Han Jinrong can naturally see the change in Qin Shao's mood this time when he comes back.

In the past, no matter what happened to Qin Shao, he was optimistic and confident, and moved towards the goal they had thought about before.

When he came back this time, he became much quieter.

"Nothing? How is today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Shao looked at his wife's stomach, the time was too short to show her pregnancy.

He is also a first-time father, with no experience at all, and it is hard to believe that his wife already has his child in her flat belly.

"Master, there's a letter from the third son."

Han Jinrong told Qin Shao not to worry, and then took out a few letters from his bosom.

What letters did Qin Shao receive.

Han Jinrong lit the candles on the pavilion where they were sitting so that Qin Shao could read the letter.

There were three letters, two from Xiaosanzi and one from Hong Fu.

Hong Fu's letter was very short, simply stating the arrival location, their current situation and the addition of equipment.

The letter from the third son is much more detailed.

He said in the letter that they went to Qiongzhou under the leadership of Hong Fu.

The third son spoke closely, and the letter was written in great detail. There were two thick envelopes. It was obvious that this boy really missed them.

The current Qiongzhou that Qin Shao knows is extremely desolate, and the area is actually not large. There are only three small states, which are not much different from some big villages.

The third son said that it was very poor there, and Hong Fu made friends with the prefect of Qiongzhou and the commander of Hainan Guard.

When he saw these two people for the first time, he didn't expect them to be high-ranking officials. Their clothes were shabby, and their clothes were not as good as those of the owner of the vegetable shop in Anluzhou.

I went to the homes of two officials, and there was very little food. For such a big official, the family members at home only had enough food and clothing.

They brought a lot of food and gave them a lot.

In fact, there are not many local people, although Daming prohibits shipping by sea.

But that place was desolate, and the court did not provide much aid.

In fact, many people will still venture out to sea, and local officials also acquiesce.

The prefects and command envoys actually have their own ships, but they are small in number and weak in strength, so they can only operate in a small area and earn some money to support their families and army.

The third son also mentioned that they were equipped with guns, powder cannons and other issues.

"Master, how about the third son and the others?"

Han Jinrong asked with concern.

Little Sanzi walked along the way, and they got along like brothers and sisters.

When she knew that the third son was going to leave with Hong Fu, Han Jinrong cried a few times.

"It's all okay. They went to Qiongzhou, and they might come back next year! You don't have to worry about him too much, he's not young now, so it's okay to do something outside if you want!"

Qin Shao comforted.

At first, Han Jinrong wanted his youngest son to study, but that kid was not interested in reading, and his heart was darker. He grew up by the sea, and shipping was indeed suitable for him.

It's just too risky, but thinking about it, maybe this is a way out in the future, and Qin Shao slowly accepts it in his heart.

……

In the following days, Qin Shao began to be busy with the store and the field revenue at the palace.

King Xing's health gradually improved, and now he slowly got out of bed and dangled again.

Qin Shao and Zhou Wencai discussed several times about Xingwang's later treatment.

It was Zhu Houcong's "masterpiece" that Zhou Wencai fell down the cliff before. Poor Zhou Wencai can only rely on crutches to move around.

Fortunately, he trained a little apprentice to help him with his daily work.

Zhou Wencai often studies epilepsy, and now he is considered an expert in this field in Ming Dynasty.

"My son, treating the prince's illness is one aspect. Personally, I think nourishing the heart is more important."

Zhou Wencai expressed his opinion.

Qin Shao agreed that in addition to taking medicine for epilepsy, mentality and mood are indeed the most important.

The two discussed for a while, and added a lot of medicines such as calming the nerves and calming Qi to Xing Wang's prescription.

After being treated by the two of them, Zhu Youtang's health improved day by day.

Apart from handling some family business, Qin Shao usually studies some books at home.

It is said to be books, more precisely, some materials. When he came back from Shangjing this time, he brought back a lot of materials about the customs and records of various places in the Ming Dynasty from some bookstores in the capital and some streets.

Through those materials, Qin Shao did understand a lot of information.

Among them are two Portuguese books brought by missionaries.

Qin Shao doesn't understand Portuguese. Fortunately, this is a half-translated version.

It is this book that has annotations. I don’t know which master who understands Portuguese reads this book, and actually put Chinese annotations beside it.

Qin Shao fumbled around to understand a lot of information.

Qin Shao had just had lunch that day when Yuan Zonggao hurried in.

"My lord, there is a letter from Shangjing."

Yuan Zonggao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao looked at it, and it was a letter from Zhang Cong.

Although Zhang Cong will try No.2, he missed the top three in the first class, but was named No.1 in the second class.

He became a good scholar, and now he stays in the Hanlin Academy as an editorial practice.

The first three points of A-A are as follows:

No. [-] scholar Lun Yixun; No. [-] Yang Shen; Tanhua Lu Wenchao.

Regarding the situation of the palace examination, Qin Shao has already known that he can feel Zhang Cong's slight disappointment, but now he is more mature than before, without the cynicism and impatience of the past, but he has learned to hide the limelight.

I heard that he was provoked by Xia Yan several times, but he avoided it and never confronted him again.

Qin Shao knew that Zhu Houzhao didn't want to use Zhang Cong, but fortunately he didn't target him.

It is appropriate for him to use Lun Yixun as the number one scholar to suppress Yang Shen. Lun Yixun's father, Lun Wenxu, was the number one scholar in the 12th year of Hongzhi. , didn't care much about the court.

After Lun Wenxu won the number one scholar, the highest official position was to be the lecturer of Jingyan, and what he did was to write articles and compile the royal family tree.

"My lord, is there a commotion in Shangjing again?"

Yuan Zonggao looked at Qin Shao and asked.
