There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 The pedantic scholar also has friends
  After two days of exploration, Lin Feng basically understood the situation of this passenger plane space.

Generally speaking, the space of the passenger plane is very similar to the large storage rings commonly seen in fantasy novels. Items can be stored and taken out with one's thoughts. Living things cannot be brought in except Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng has not yet had a chance to test whether dead people and animals can be brought in. However, yesterday I specially crushed a little Qiang to death, held it in my hand, and brought it in without any problem. I guess it should be fine as long as it is not a living creature.

But there are some differences. One is that entering the space of a passenger aircraft requires energy consumption. According to the test results, the energy storage after eating and sleeping enough in a day can enter the space for about 2 hours and no more than 4 times at the same time.

Time in space is static, which means that the things placed inside will not deteriorate. When they come out, the time outside will be the same as when they entered, and even the position of the person will not change.

This function is incredible and extremely useful for saving lives. For example, if an arrow is about to hit, quickly enter the space, use an iron plate to protect the area where the arrow is about to hit, and then come out to block the arrow.

Of course, this person is not invincible. If he didn't notice the incoming arrow and was shot directly, he wouldn't be able to turn back time, and he would probably have to hate Jiuquan.

The other is that all devices in the passenger aircraft space can be used, including charging mobile phones, heating food, opening cabinets, etc., but they cannot destroy any fixed facilities in the space, nor can they enter other cabins of the aircraft.

All non-fixed items in the cabin, including passengers’ suitcases, random meals, drinks, tools, etc., can be taken out of the space with you.

After exploring the basic conditions of the passenger aircraft space, Lin Feng felt much more at ease. This was a foundation for him to gain a foothold in the late Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, relying only on a little advanced historical knowledge and a sharp tongue, you may not know how you will die.

In the past two days, Lin Feng repeatedly sorted out the information in his mind and read existing books at home to further understand the relevant situations of this era.

On the other hand, he is also repeatedly considering how to deal with the severe situation he is currently facing. The focus is on whether to go to Fugu to take office, what to do there, or simply how to survive?
  Following his practice as head of the investment department in later generations, Lin Feng began to analyze risks and returns in his mind.

Of course, there will be certain risks when taking office in Fugu County, and there is even a considerable risk that he may be killed by the peasant army. The local natural conditions for economic development are also very poor, and the population is losing a lot. It will definitely not be easy to make something famous.

But if he did not go to Fugu to take office and offended the Taiyuan magistrate, he would probably have no hope of an official career in this life, and his life in Taiyuan would be difficult.

As for waiting to take the next examination, it would have been thirteen years since the Chongzhen Emperor's reign. Let alone whether he passed the exam or not, even if he did, it would be a waste.

There is also home relocation. In this era, when traveling far away, you need to have a road guide, so it is not easy to move. Moreover, if you don't obey the arrangements of the officials this time, you will have no choice but to go into business in the future. Although you have space and can make money, you can't keep any wealth without the protection of power.

The key point is that it has been ten years since Chongzhen. Although it is not yet the middle of the year, the world has begun to be in chaos. In less than seven years, the Tatars will take over the Central Plains. By then, will I be a docile citizen with a shaved head, or will I be exiled overseas? ?
  As a Han Chinese citizen, I am also an angry young man with a strong sense of patriotism. How can I watch the Tatars ravage our Han people?
  No need to think about it, just do it. Moreover, he started his career as a county magistrate. Although he was in a remote area, it was still much better than starting from scratch. Moreover, he had the blessing of a golden finger, so he was afraid of a hammer.

After figuring this out, Lin Feng began to seriously consider taking up the post in Fugu County and see what preparations he needed to make.

Lin Feng dug out the official documents he received a few days ago. The appointment of a small county magistrate was not qualified to use an imperial edict. The Ministry of Civil Affairs ordered Lin Feng to take up his post before the end of June. It is now early June, and there is still nearly a month left.

The distance from Taiyuan to Fugu County is about 400 kilometers. In modern times, it took five or six hours to drive. But now in the Ming Dynasty, travel basically relies on legs, and it takes at least ten days to walk.

Based on this calculation, excluding the travel time, there are still about ten days to prepare. Otherwise, if you take office empty-handed, you will starve to death if you are not beaten to death by the refugees.

As the saying goes, "A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs."

Since ancient times, if you want to accomplish something, you must first find some reliable helpers.

In ancient times, the township party was undoubtedly the most reliable. For example, the powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were Qi Jiajun, Baigan Army, Tianxiong Army, or Qin Army, were all linked by the Xiang Party.

So Lin Feng first took stock of the "network resources" he had in his mind to see if there was anyone he could draw on.

It is said that although Lin Feng offended the Taiyuan magistrate, it was not a deep hatred. Moreover, Lin Feng's main character was a bit pedantic in the past and he was too bookish. He was still a good person and he must have a few close friends.

Among them, the best friend is named Li Xiongzhen. He met Lin Feng when they were studying together in Taiyuan Prefecture. Because of their similar views and similar temperaments, they became good friends.

Li Xiongzhen lives in Jiaocheng County, directly under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture. His family is a well-known local grain merchant and also has many other businesses. If this is to be seen in future generations, he will be considered a rich second generation.

Although his family situation is much richer than that of Lin Feng, Li Xiongzhen is a forthright man who likes to fight against injustices and never uses his wealth to pressure others. He has always disliked those arrogant and domineering second-generation officials and second-generation rich people, which Lin Feng admires very much. .

Lin Feng was once ridiculed by some second-generation students in the government school that his family was poor and could not even afford a better four-bedroom apartment. Li Xiongzhen stood up and responded to those second-generation students, which made Lin Feng always grateful.

Lin Feng studies very hard, has a better grasp of academic knowledge, and often helps Li Xiongzhen, who is slightly worse in this area. As time went by, the two became good friends.

Li Xiongzhen knew that Lin Feng's family was in trouble, and he often wanted to help him materially, but he was always rejected by Lin Feng, who had a strong self-esteem. Of course, that was Lin Feng from before. According to Lin Feng's current thinking, of course friends should help each other and benefit each other. What's wrong with integrating resources and giving full play to their strengths?

Aloof? Why do you need this useless thing? It doesn't exist here.

"Master, Master Xiongzhen is here." It really meant that Cao Cao was about to arrive. Lin Jiakang led Li Rongji in.

"Brother Yuanshan, I heard that you are going to take office in Fugu County, Shaanxi Province. This is not possible, it is too dangerous. Also, you want to operate an official position, why don't you tell your brother." Li Xiongzhen complained as soon as he came in.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to appoint people to officials. I have already found connections in my family, so I don't want to trouble Brother Xiongzhen."

"Yuanshan, you are too outspoken. It's all brothers who are in trouble. It's better not to go to Fugu. I'll ask someone to find a relationship with the officials." Li Xiongzhen was as enthusiastic as ever.

"Risks also mean challenges. We have very prominent disadvantages when it comes to recruiting people to be officials. The most we can do is reach the rank of seventh-grade county magistrate. Although this valley is a bit chaotic, it is also a good opportunity to make contributions." Lin Feng responded.

"Oh, this is not like Brother Yuanshan's style. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I came here specifically to comfort you."

"People are subject to change. My family is in decline, so I have no choice but to take a chance. There are few chances in life. If I take a chance, maybe the county magistrate will become the prefect."

"Haha, Brother Yuanshan has this great idea. I will give you my full support. Give money and people if you need them. But the money I can control is limited. If there is too much, you will have to sell me. ." Li Xiongzhen said with a smile.

He failed the last imperial examination and felt that writing eight-legged essays was very boring. He did not want to take the imperial examination again. He had already taken over a grain and oil store owned by the Li family in Taiyuan City and began to study business.

Lin Feng was originally planning to ask Li Xiongzhen for help, but what he said was exactly what he wanted.

So he sent Lin Jiakang out to prepare some lunch, then took out the 100-gram gold necklace from his arms and said, "Brother Xiongzhen, I'm about to ask you for help. This is a gold necklace passed down from my family's ancestors. You Take it and help me out, I'm not familiar with the sales channels, so I need to exchange some money to prepare for taking up the post in Fugu."

"Brother Yuanshan, don't sell the ancestral necklace. I will sponsor your travel expenses to take office."

"Brother, let's settle the score. No matter how good a friend is, you can't give something unilaterally. If I really encounter a hurdle that I can't get over, I will definitely talk to you. There is no use in keeping this necklace now. Just exchange it for silver. , I still have some uses for it.

After I take office, there will be a shortage of food in Fugu, and there will definitely be many opportunities for us brothers to cooperate. Lin Feng said firmly.

"Haha, Yuanshan has obviously matured after this appointment. Although we had similar intentions in the past, your bookishness was still too strong. It's best now. I've taken this necklace to help you. Is there anything else you want me to do? What happened?" Li Xiongzhen answered.

"Help me find a more reliable guard. Three or five taels of silver per month is fine. Those who perform well will be rewarded." Lin Feng thought about it and felt that it was better to find a reliable guard.

These days there is a lot of chaos, and without a reliable guard, I really don’t dare to go out. Maybe instead of reporting to Fugu, he would have reported to Jifu.

"Okay, my bodyguard Chen Xiong has been with me for many years. He is very loyal and has good skills. His father has always wanted him to get an official status, so let him go with you.

There is no need to give him a regular salary. When the time comes, he can be arranged to work as an official in the county government office. "Li Xiongzhen said after thinking about it for a moment. He also wanted to help Lin Feng save some money.

"It's definitely no problem. I'm going to Fugu County just in time to hire people. Then Brother Xiongzhen, let's ask Master Chen to come over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to get familiar with it." Lin Feng responded.

"No problem, I'll ask him to come to you tomorrow."

"Also, I will go to Fugu to take up my post next time. Please take care of me at home."

"Don't worry Yuan Shan, your family is my family, and I will definitely not let them suffer injustice in Taiyuan City."

"Thank you very much, Brother Xiongzhen, for letting us brothers join forces to do something great!"

"Okay!" The two hands clasped together tightly.

　I sincerely invite book friends to collect, comment and recommend more.
