My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 53 The Tiger Fox Dog

Needless to say, it is natural to choose to study.

[The skill "Literature" has been learned, the combined evaluation level is Lv3, 1/00]

It's a pity that Su Ze is already a graduate student now, and has been reduced to the level of a literature lover. If he is in the third year of high school, he can still be rated as Lv4.

The skills that appeared this time gave Su Ze a new surprise, and the skill level before time travel can also be counted as level experience!
As long as he can find the place where the skill is triggered, the scientific knowledge he learned in his previous life can also be used to gain experience!
It's just those skills like "Physics" and "Chemistry", how can they be triggered?

There is no physical chemistry laboratory in this era?
Literature is good, literature is a skill that includes many categories, prose, poetry, drama, and even popular novels, all of which can be attributed to literature.

There has been a division between academics and literature in the Ming Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, famous politicians were often writers. Occasionally, unsatisfied literati like Li Bai were often expropriated by the court. Literature and politics are closely linked.

But by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, literature had gradually stepped down from the altar. With the vigorous development of the citizen economy, some literati began to appear to serve ordinary people. With the development of the country, full-time writers who are far away from court and politics have appeared.

For example, Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu, the most famous of the four talented scholars in Wuzhong, did not become officials, but they still enjoy great prestige among the people. A painting by Tang Bohu can sell for thousands of taels of silver, and Zhu Zhishan’s brush fee can also reach one tael of silver each. Character.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have almost a star-seeking attitude towards talents. From the high-ranking officials to the ordinary people, they are willing to donate money and land to support them, especially in the Jiangnan area where the literary style is prosperous.

If this skill is improved, it will be of great benefit whether it is making money or taking the imperial examination. Is it really impossible to copy "Dream of Red Mansions"?

Su Ze put away these messy thoughts, the liver skills must be developed slowly, the most urgent thing is the "disaster" of Chang Ningwei.

First of all, the patrol censor sent by the imperial court. This censor is already on his way, and the censor is a major matter of the imperial court. It is not Su Ze, who is not even a child, and ordinary people can interfere with it.

The rest was Xu Shisheng, the county clerk mentioned in the family tree. Su Ze asked Hai Rui about this clerk.

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said:
"I've heard of Xu Shisheng all the time. He's a clerk in the yamen's office in Nanping County."

"The teacher has heard of it?"

Although Hai Rui refused to accept Su Ze as a disciple, Su Ze still addressed Hai Rui with the etiquette he would treat a teacher.

In private, Hai Rui did not refuse, he nodded and said, "Nanping county government has a tiger, a fox, and three dogs."

"This Xu Shisheng is the 'fox' of the county government. This person is cunning and cunning. The three county magistrates entrusted him with important tasks to take charge of the taxation of the county government."

Taxation is the most important matter related to the evaluation of local officials. The three county magistrates have all entrusted Xu Shisheng with taxation, which is enough to show the influence of this guy in the county government.

A tough opponent!
Although Changning Guard is a military guard, but the Ming Dynasty is now rich in culture and inferior in power, and Yu Dayou still has to bribe the superior to protect himself, not to mention that Lin Mojun is just a small hundred household.

It's just that I don't know what kind of enmity Xu Shisheng and Chang Ningwei have. Su Ze is going to ask the old man after going back.

Su Ze also became interested in the situation of the Nanping County Government. He asked, "Teacher, who are the tiger and the three dogs?"

Hai Rui said: "Yihu is Li Hu, the leader of the strong squad, who was originally an idler in Nanping County. He was recruited into the strong squad by the former county magistrate and was in charge of Minyong in Nanping County. He once led fifty strong squads. The Japanese pirates who repelled more than a hundred people were even rewarded by the mansion."

"Li Hu is as strong as a tiger, with a jealous personality, but also a cruel nature. He often makes troubles in Nanping County because of his merits. The people are afraid of him and rely on him, so he is called a tiger."

So, it seems that this Li Hu is also a heroic figure.

"What about the three dogs?"

"Three dogs are the three brothers of the Beishan Chen family. Now the three brothers are working in the county government office. The three of them know how to bully the subordinates and charm the superiors. They are as gentle as dogs in front of the superiors, and they are extremely cruel to the people. The people of Nanping County look down on them the most. Call it the Three Dogs."

Hai Rui frowned and said:

"Didn't you Chang Ningwei win against the Chen family in the battle of weapons? The three brothers of the Chen family will take revenge. You should be careful recently."

Su Ze said quickly: "Thank you teacher for pointing out the maze. I will be more careful when I meet these five people in the future."

Hai Rui continued: "This kind of cunning subordinate, as long as you get a good name in the exam, there is no problem. There is a difference between an official and a clerk. Your main energy now should be on your studies."

Su Ze nodded quickly, and Hai Rui then said:
"When you come to the county school in the middle of the month, I will explain the key points of the county test with you. You can write down any questions you have when you go back to study, and I will explain them to you at that time."

Su Ze said sincerely, "Thank you teacher."

After bidding farewell to Hai Rui, Su Ze met Lin Xianyang from outside the county school. Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang:
"Brother Xianyang, is there any iron forging shop in the county town?"

"Ironware? Iron workshops in the county are expensive. We all bought wrought iron and went back for forging."

Su Ze was just trying to rub skills, so he said:

"I'm rushing back today, it's getting late, why don't I go back to Changningwei tomorrow. I have a few new tools, and I want to see if the iron workshop in the county can build them."

After listening to Su Ze's explanation, Lin Xianyang dispelled his doubts. Although Changningwei also had blacksmiths, the craftsmanship was really hard to describe, and the farm tools they made could only make do with it.

Lin Xianyang said: "We produce iron in Nanping, there are many skilled blacksmiths, but the iron workshops are basically outside the city, it's getting late, so we have to leave early."

Lin Xianyang led Su Ze out of the city. There was a row of houses near the city wall. He could only see thick black smoke coming out of the chimney, and Su Ze couldn't open his eyes when a gust of wind blew.

Su Ze didn't expect that Nanping's mining and iron industry would reach such a scale.

Lin Xianyang also said proudly: "Nanping iron is the best in Fujian! When there were no Japanese pirates, Jiangnan merchants would come to Nanping to buy iron. These are still small iron workshops. If you go to the mine, the sound of mining is endless day and night. , and there are thousands of official pits."

The pit is the mine, and the official pit is the official mine. Su Ze was surprised by the prosperity of Nanping's industrial and mining industry. He went to several blacksmith shops with Lin Xianyang and finally triggered the skill.

[Discover the location "Iron Workshop", you can learn the skill "Strike Iron", do you want to learn it? 】

"Yes."

After finishing the iron workshop, Su Ze took Lin Xianyang to a sugar workshop, where he learned the skill of "sugar production".

The four of them stayed at the clan's house for another night, and Su Ze fought with the lice for another night. The next day, Su Ze yawned and finally set foot on the road back to Changningwei.
