Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 167 Your name is Jin Zhong?

Especially, the second day.

When Lao Zhu went to court, he also wore reading glasses.

Now, all the civil and military officials in the capital knew about it.

Then, in less than two days, all the causes and consequences of the presbyopic glasses were also sent to the ears of all the officials in the capital by the officials of Beiping Mansion.

Hearing this, all the officials in the capital felt itchy in their hearts.

However, some officials were full of shock and anger.

"Then what does King Yan want to do?"

"Isn't this nonsense? He, the king of Yan, is actually building academies in his fiefdom, and he wants to invite great scholars from all over the place?"

"Could it be that he, King Yan, wants to control the scholars in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty?"

"This matter must not be allowed to continue to mess with King Yan..."

However, when these officials reported the matter to Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, what they got was a scolding meal.

"The king of Yan built a craftsman school, and everyone jumped up and down, impeaching the king of Yan for not doing a proper job and not educating the people.

Why is King Yan being impeached by you now to educate the people, and you say that King Yan's actions are inappropriate?What do you want King Yan to do? "

"Also, don't you all have nothing to do all day long and just stare at King Yan?..."

"Your Majesty's forgiveness..."

When these officials left the palace in despair, all of them were full of worry.

"No matter what, I, the great Confucian scholars and sages in the south, must never go to Beiping Mansion."

"It should be like this, the old man wrote a letter when he returned home, telling all his colleagues and teachers and friends that they must never go to Beiping Mansion..."

"good……"

With the dispersal of all the officials, the calm in Yingtian City was restored.

However, some officials silently dispatched officials to the mansion to take out some books in their homes, especially some unimportant orphan books, to copy a copy, find a confidant, and send them to Beiping Mansion.

So, for several days in a row, horse-drawn carriages inexplicably appeared in the capital, carrying some classics, and headed for Beiping Mansion in a very 'low-key' way.

at the same time.

In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, some famous Confucian scholars all over the world also received a wooden box, which contained a pair of reading glasses, a set of glass tea sets, and a letter.

Of course, the most lively place is Shunde Mansion.

After receiving the reading glasses and glassware from Guo An, Guo's father and Liu's father together held a small-scale party directly.

Only 12 people.

However, everyone in the Shunde Mansion, or in the north of the Ming Dynasty, is a very famous Confucian.

After a gathering, the dozen or so great Confucians were all full of joy, only a few of them were unhappy.

Guo An also didn't know that the presbyopic glasses seduction incident he had painstakingly arranged caused Guo's father and Liu's father to directly stir up trouble.

At this time, the construction of the academy has entered a state of full swing, and Guo An also ignored it.

The whole day, the time spent sitting in the palace of King Yan's mansion fishing, has been compressed to only half a day.

……

One day, a clerk walked into Guo An's house and reported to Guo An: "Guo Changshi, there is a man outside the palace who wants to recommend himself as the master of the academy."

"Self-recommendation?"

Guo An suddenly became interested. It had been a long time since the news spread, and it was the first time anyone dared to recommend himself outside the gate of King Yan Palace.

"Where is that person, what is his name, how old is he, and is he famous?"

The scribe's face changed slightly, and he quickly replied: "I also ask Guo Changshi to forgive me. As soon as the villain heard someone recommending himself, he came in and reported to Guo Changshi."

"It's okay."

Guo An waved his hand casually, "You go and bring the person, and I will interview you... I will test the teacher myself."

"Yes."

The scribe breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands slightly towards Guo An, and walked out.

Soon, in less than a moment, the scribe walked in with a middle-aged man with a somewhat honest appearance.

Guo An's eyes lit up immediately, "It's you who recommended yourself to be the master of the academy?"

The middle-aged man replied politely: "Back to Guo Changshi, he is a grassroots man."

Guo An continued to ask: "Who are you and where are you from? Do you have a reputation?"

The middle-aged man replied: "According to Guo Changshi, the grassroots name is Jin Zhong, and the style name is Shizhong. He is from Yinzhou and has never had any fame.

However, Caomin was born in a prosperous family of Xianmen, and he has been reading history books since he was a child, and he is familiar with the art of war. Therefore, Caomin is confident and can be a good master. "

Guo An was startled, and couldn't help but looked Jin Zhong up and down again, "Your name is Jin Zhong?"

Jin Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Has Guo Changshi ever heard of the grass-roots people?"

"Naturally."

Guo An's expression returned to normal, he smiled slowly, and asked, "Since you are from Yinzhou, why did you come to Beiping Mansion?"

Jin Zhong replied: "Back to Guo Changshi, the second elder brother of Caomin is named Jinhua, and he has one hundred households in Tongzhou Wei.

Cao Min came here this time to visit his second brother. "

"I see."

Guo An nodded slightly, he was finally sure that the person in front of him must be that Jin Zhong.

But, why didn't he expect that Jin Zhong would come under him and ask him to come for an interview?
"Guo Changshi, don't you know grassroots?..."

Feeling that Guo Changshi in front of him was looking at him more and more strangely, Jin Zhong couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, so many years of hard life made him understand that this is his only good chance to stand up, and he cannot let it go easily.

Guo An came back to his senses and asked again: "You have no fame, and no one recommends you...

If you want to be a master directly, even if I agree with you, all the officials in Prince Yan's Mansion, and even other masters in the academy will not approve of you. "

Jin Zhong's heart sank directly, and it really didn't work.

Guo An continued to ask: "We see that you have a strong body, but how about your martial arts?"

Jin Zhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Report to Guo Changshi, the grass-roots people have been grinding their muscles and bones since they were young, so three or four strong men can't get in."

"Very good."

Guo An nodded in satisfaction, "I don't know if you can follow me first, and be a clerk in Yan Wangfu's Chief History Department, and help me watch and supervise the construction of the Academy for the time being.

When the construction of the academy is completed, if you want to become a teacher in the academy, no one will gossip... I wonder if you want to? "

Jin Zhong was a little dazed, for the clerk of the Yan Palace, such a big pie suddenly fell on his head, which made him feel a little unreal.

Seeing Jin Zhong's expression, Guo An frowned slightly, "Huh? Don't you want to?"

Jin Zhong hurriedly saluted and said excitedly: "Caomin is willing, Caomin is willing."

"That's good."

Guo An showed a gentle smile on his face, "Don't worry, you will definitely not lose you if you become a scribe for this official.

The treatment is the same as that of all the scribes in the mansion. "

Jin Zhong hurriedly bowed his hands again, "Caomin thank Guo Changshi for his love."

Guo An waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Okay, you follow this first... the clerk goes down and changes into a suit of clothes, receives a waist badge, and enthrones in the Changshi Division to make a book.

Then, come to find the official again. "

"Yes, Guo Changshi."

Jin Zhong hurriedly saluted again.

"Guo Changshi, don't worry, the villain will definitely explain everything about Chang Shisi to Shizhong."

On the side, the scribe also hurriedly said to Guo An.

However, only the scribe knew how bitter he was.

He happily brought in a man who recommended himself as his wife, but Guo Changshi fell in love with him just like that.

Moreover, he was directly accepted as a scribe.

If so, wouldn't his future position be in jeopardy?
However, he did not dare to disobey Guo An's orders in the slightest.

As for Jin Zhong, the joy at the corner of his mouth has not restrained.

This is the scribe of King Yan's Mansion. Although he is just an official, he has also entered the official system of King Yan's Mansion.

"Brother Shizhong, we have been in Yanwang Mansion for so long, and we have never seen a scribe who is valued so much by Guo Changshi."

"Hey, my little brother is also a little flattered, and I will ask this brother to teach me a lot in the future."

"Don't dare, dare not. In the future, I will rely on you to speak well in front of Guo Changshi. In addition, our name is Huo Cai, and you can just call us by our name in the future."

"Brother Huo, I wonder what my little brother pays attention to in the Changshi Division?"

"You can't stretch your hands and feet indiscriminately, Guo Changshi asked you to be his scribe, you just need to listen to Guo Changshi's arrangement.

In addition, there is also a Zuo Changshi in our Changshi Division, who is Zhu Changshi... But Zhu Changshi also has a dedicated scribe, and under normal circumstances Zhu Changshi will not look for you... You only need to know Guo Changshi History can choose whatever he likes...

Guo Changshi likes to draw blueprints and the skills of craftsmen. He often runs outside the city to inspect various workshops in the mansion...

Guo Changshi usually doesn't get angry and has a gentle temper, but if you offend Guo Changshi, you must immediately intercede, otherwise not only will your wealth and life be lost, but your family will also be implicated...

and also……"

After Jin Zhong put on the clothes of the clerk of the Chief History Department, he suddenly became more energetic.

However, Jin Zhong's body is stronger than ordinary scribes, and he looks a little simple and honest.

"Guo Changshi... I don't know what's wrong with the villain?"

Sensing Guo An's gaze, and remembering what the scribe Huo Cai said to him, Jin Zhong couldn't help panicking, and asked cautiously.

"In front of this official, you don't need to be so restrained. You only need to do the things that this official has explained to you. After that, try not to disturb this official if you have nothing to do."

Guo An smiled gently, pointed to a large pile of account books on the table and said: "These are all kinds of materials in the academy, you should read them first to familiarize yourself with them, and tomorrow I will go to the field with you to have a look at them." lock up……"

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Jin Zhong responded quickly, but his face was still restrained.

Guo An said again: "Just watch it here, let's report your matter to His Highness."

Immediately, he ignored Jin Zhong who was already tense all over, and walked outside.

It was not until Guo An went out that Jin Zhong carefully picked up an account book and read it carefully...

Keep your mind on it.

After listening to Guo An's words, Zhu Di couldn't help but look weird.

"That Jin Zhong came to recommend his wife, and Guo Qing actually accepted him as the secretary of the Chief History Department?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, Jin Zhong seems to be very simple and honest. He is still from a prominent family, and he is familiar with his own classics. It would be a pity to become a master."

Zhu Di curled his lips, "It's a pity to be a scribe."

Guo Ancai ignored it, and continued: "Your Highness, this man has an honest face and a polite speech, which is very suitable for my eyes."

Zhu Di nodded, "Since Guo Qing values ​​it so much, let him be a scribe."

Guo An was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness... However, since Jin Zhong wants to be a scribe, he will often come into contact with some secret affairs in the house, so just to be on the safe side, I would like to ask His Highness to send someone to check his details."

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing came here specially, so we should send someone to investigate the details of Jin Zhong."

Guo An said seriously: "Your Highness has misunderstood this official, and this official just came to report Jin Zhong's matter to His Highness."

Zhu Di said: "So, we know."
