The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 113
After a while.

Lieutenant Li has many acquaintances who have saved money in the farmer's bank.

The school has been open for almost a year.

Among them, there are a few outstanding ones. Runtu directly pulls people out to practice and practice.

You can't stay in the school all the time, you need a combination of theory and practice.

Let the students of these schools get acquainted with the business early, and then go to Hangzhou to open an agricultural business bank.

During this period, the adjutant came once.

heard.

There is a green battalion general in Hangzhou who always does robbery.

The seventh-rank officials who are always in the green camp are nothing in Hangzhou.

There are dozens of people under his command.

In the early days, the imperial court was mainly the Eight Banners Army.

Now the green battalion has more people and has become the main force of the Qing army.

In most cases, in peaceful times, the status of military officers is far inferior to that of civilian officials.

In times of war, the status can be elevated.

It is a general manager surnamed Sun from Hangzhou Green Camp.

The big pharmacy had two clerks, two lives, Runtu still remembered, it must not just be forgotten.

With a goal, I went directly to Hangzhou.

Thinking about getting some more stuff.

Hangzhou has a lot more stuff than Kuaiji.

Just go to some big shops to see.

The current net worth, if including the money bank, is almost 10 taels of silver. Even in Hangzhou, he is a very wealthy person.

Walking around town.

Suddenly I heard someone calling myself, "Brother Ruosong."

"Brother Wang."

They were the same batch of candidates who had passed the provincial examination, and had met face to face.

This person surnamed Wang is a native of Hangzhou.

"Brother Ruosong didn't come to see me when he came to Hangzhou City, he should do his best."

He is more hospitable.

After taking the Juren examination, seventy or eighty of them from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces of the same year met with the examiner, the cabinet bachelor, worshiped Confucius together, participated in the Luming Banquet together, and sang the deer song in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya" together. Ming poetry.

The Luming Banquet is a banquet set up for the new imperial examination candidates after the provincial examination. In addition to the new imperial examination candidates, there are also examination room staff and examiners.

There is also a banquet called Qionglin Banquet, which is a banquet held for new scholars after the palace examination.

We've met each other a few times, and we're kind of friendly.

Especially those in the same class of science exams, even if they haven’t studied together, as long as they have passed the same exam in the same subject in the same year, they will usually feel that the other party’s relationship is a little closer, as if it’s that kind of classmate relationship .

"Brother Ruosong, let's go and have a drink. I'll show you the famous Yihong Courtyard in Hangzhou City."

The family of this surname Wang is very good.There are officials in the family, and now I have passed the Juren examination, and I am very promising.Slightly older than Runtu's age, the ranking of achievements is behind.

Perhaps it was also the reason for their similar ages. Among the candidates in their first subject, the one surnamed Wang was the most familiar with and impressed with Runtu.

Runtu agreed and went to have a drink or two.

At the same time, I also wanted to ask him about the situation.

The situation of the two guys in my big pharmacy.

After a while, the two arrived in Yihong Courtyard.

It's a brothel, and most of the girls in it are just entertainers.

But it's just a gimmick.

The two quickly found an elegant place to sit, and watched the singing and dancing while eating wine.It's happy.

"Brother Ruosong, you have to appreciate it carefully. The dance in Yihong Courtyard is a masterpiece."

Runtu: "Brother Wang, do you still remember what he said in front of the statue of Confucius? Students are determined to learn to be loyal ministers and upright officials. The deeds of loyalty and Qing Dynasty recorded in the books and history must be studied with each other. Anything that benefits the country and the people is more appropriate. Be careful."

"Brother Ruosong is serious, and the saint's words are naturally obeyed, but eating, drinking and having fun are also necessary."

Runtu: "Just kidding, come, drink."

Runtu is quite satisfied with him, he seems to be the kind of willful and generous person, not pedantic.

"Now this is Miss Azi, that song is the best. Brother Ruosong, what do you think of Miss Azi's voice?"

Runtu nodded in admiration: "The reputation is well-deserved, the voice is like an oriole, it is really wonderful."

Compared with those singers in Kuaiji today, I found that they have won a lot.

"To get such a high evaluation from Jia Xiong."

Runtu: ""Brother Wang, this girl is not bad.He looks good, sings well, and has a good figure.If it weren't for the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, how could it be so seductive. "

"Brother Ruosong is really wise, he is from Hangzhou. Let me introduce you. Ah Zi, come here, come here, and toast Brother Ruosong."

Ah Zi is just a brothel girl, with some talents, she is a bit high-minded, but her industry is just a joke.No matter how noble you are, you have to laugh along with them. The three of them now look young and promising, and they are new recruits. Xiaocui doesn't resist.

With a smile on his face, he poured a glass of wine and served it to Runtu.

"Sir, please."

Runtu took it over.

It is unusual for a brothel girl to be famous.

This woman is also quite beautiful.There seems to be a kind of nobility.

In some brothels there will be ladies from officials and eunuchs who have committed crimes, and generally distressed ladies are more popular in brothels.

After toasting a glass of wine, the girl left.

Runtu chatted with the man surnamed Wang.

The content of the chat covered a wide range, including poetry, books, rituals, music, even astronomy, geography, and various miscellaneous studies.

This man surnamed Wang also understood Western learning.

Usually it is Wang who starts the conversation, but Runtu can continue.

This kind of ability makes the surname Wang admire very much, and feels like a confidant and friend.

The content of the chat slowly became more and more complicated.

Juzi Wang surnamed: "Tui Bei Tu compiled by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang combines Yi learning, astronomy, poetry, riddles, and pictures into one. It is really the first wonderful book."

Runtu: "In my opinion, the most wonderful book in the world must be written by Xiaoxiaosheng Lanling."

"Brother Ruosong has also read "Jin Pingmei's Ci Hua". There are hints in this book about why the previous dynasty fell.

"You think highly of me, how can I know what has become a mystery so far."

Banned books, together with Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Water Margin, are listed as the four great books.

Ordinary people have no way to see it.

Runtu got down to business, "Brother Wang, do you know anything about Luying?"

"Green camp? My uncle is a military officer."

"I want to know the general situation of a man named Sun."

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Cheng, let me inquire about it for you."

The two left the brothel.

Runtu went to the branch of the big pharmacy in Hangzhou.

At the same time, I was thinking about which location to open the bank for him.

It is more difficult in Hangzhou than Kuaiji.

the next day.

The person surnamed Wang went directly to the big pharmacy to tell Runtu about the general situation of the next grandson.

The reputation is average, not good, but not too bad.

Lieutenant Li was referring to the person surnamed Sun, and Runtu wanted to investigate him thoroughly.

"Thanks."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

His uncle's position is more than a little higher than General Sun's.

"It's a personal matter, I can settle it myself."
