Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 261 Default?
There really is no love for no reason in the world. Li Jiantai, who is a clean stream, is the director of the Imperial College, which is equivalent to the high diploma of the vice president of the National University. To be able to accept Song Qingshu, this white man, is equivalent to being an apprentice of a social idler who has not graduated from elementary school. Song Qingshu is rich.

In other words, because of his ability to make money.

After a lively practice feast, Song Qingshu was called to his study by Li Jiantai. The old guy put on a teacher's posture solemnly, not at all like an old pervert who married a concubine of nineteen.

"Song Qingshu! Song Qingshu! Qingshi Liushu is a good name, Qingshu, I don't know what your name is?"

"Well, I don't have any characters yet, so please ask the teacher to get one?"

The separation of names is a characteristic of Chinese culture. Unfortunately, in Song Qingshu's era, he was impacted by Western culture and has long been forgotten. Where can Song Qingshu have words?For such a long time, the word Boya and the word Zongxian are still new to Song Qingshu, and more than 1000 taels of gold were given away, so let's use it as a naming fee.

Li Jiantai was quite responsible, he frowned and turned around twice, before finally shaking his head solemnly.

"Do you think this is good? The word "Qingshu" should be yours. As for the name, it should be called Song Xian. It is very suitable for you because your career is booming."

These days, there are not many people calling him by name, and people close to him will still call him Song Qingshu in the future, which is also in line with Song Qingshu's mind, so Song Qingshu smiled and bowed again: "Thank you, sir, for giving me your name!"

After showing his level of education for a while, Li Jiantai walked back to the desk happily, and immediately pulled out a set of books from under the desk.

"This is the "Five Classics Zhengyi" annotated by the old man himself. You should study it carefully when you go back. After the old man returns to Beijing, he will write a letter to Mr. Liu, Shanxi Xuezheng. Looking for an old man, the first and second best old men are not sure, but it is very easy for the third to find you a fellow Jinshi."

Song Qingshu couldn't laugh anymore, instead he asked with a little surprise.

"In such a hurry?"

It's really urgent enough, humanity suffers from ten years of cold windows!Some veteran scholars spent their entire lives in the examination without passing the exam, let alone being designated as the top three and Jinshi within a year. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of candidates a year, and there were only more than 100 people who got the top three, and they were born as Jinshi. , The official is basically a Beijing official, and the starting point is much higher than that of a person. Tonight, he has just worshiped Li Jiantai as his teacher, and it is too abnormal for Li Jiantai to pat his chest for such a big guarantee.

As the old saying goes, if something is abnormal, it will be a demon!You really need to be careful, don't let this old guy fool you!

"Don't worry! The old man has been observing you for a whole winter! Opening farms, opening workshops, and accepting refugees. With his own strength, he not only cured the plague, but also restored two counties! This time the emperor sent the old man to inspect Shanxi and Shaanxi Dao, just to select some talents who are well-versed in the world!"

Speaking of this, Li Jiantai actually sighed deeply: "The world is not peaceful! There are thieves from various factions such as Cao Ge who invaded and offered Cao Ge, and there are Dong captives who stared at my Ming Dynasty outside. Your Majesty has no choice but this time, His Majesty has made up his mind to govern the Jiangnan Salt Road, so he recruited talents from all over the country."

"You also have a mental preparation. This time when I go back, I will tell you that you are the emperor, and you should be awarded a certain saltworks transfer branch in the south of the Yangtze River. You know the economics better than the old man. Use your skills in Dai County. As long as there are achievements in politics, it is not impossible to be promoted to Jiangnan Governor Yandao or Yanyan Yushi in the future!"

Seeing that his face was still pale, Li Jiantai patted him on the shoulder lightly again.

"Qing Shu, just go and do it, you and the old man are from the same town, if you go inside, someone will open your eyes and speak to you!"

This is a naked party struggle. In the late Ming Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats formed cronies based on their geography, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Beijing investigation to compete for power and profit with each other. Today, the most fierce competition in the world is the Donglin Party and the Qi Chuzhe Party. Now Jingzhong is the leader of the Zhejiang Party Wen Tiren Serving as the first assistant university scholar, Qian Yiqian and Qian Longxi of the Donglin Party were all squeezed out of the imperial court one after another. Don't do too much, and won't be too suppressed.

Li Jiantai had already talked about this, Song Qingshu could only hold his fists sadly, and thanked him with a grateful expression.

"So, thank you teacher for cultivating, Qingshu will never be forgotten!"

…………

In the evening, Li Jiantai taught Song Qingshu some knowledge about the imperial examinations very responsibly, and asked about Song Qingshu's family. He heard that Song Qingshu had already married a wife and took concubines. If he married Song Qingshu's daughter again and recruited him as his son-in-law, the political alliance would be more stable.

But what Song Qingshu believes in most is the alliance of interests, fighting for power and profit, and how few sons-in-law kill their father-in-law?Li Jiantai's family is also a big landlord in Quwo. There are several brothers, nephews and nephews in his family who are doing business in Beizhili, the capital. Li Guotai, the owner of Taisheng who came to see him off yesterday, is Li Jiantai's second brother. After returning, Song Qingshu sent Shi Tianfu to stay overnight Come here and sign a business alliance with Li Guotai. Jiaduobao’s goods will no longer travel eastward, and the sales rights of Beizhili and the Jingshi Generation will all be entrusted to Taisheng. The guy was full of joy, and gave Song Qingshu a few invitations of his own, telling him who to look for during the imperial examination.

…………

With a bang, a thick stack of "Five Classics of Justice" was thrown on the table. Song Qingshu stretched his waist full of distress, and hummed with his head turned upside down: "The thief took the imperial examination, and I asked Lao Tzu to be an inspector." Yan Yushi, is there anything more ridiculous than this?"

"The commander-in-chief really doesn't know the blessings in the blessings! As an official, he started the provincial examination at the age of 16. He took the exam for seven years before he was born as a Jinshi. Just let a county magistrate out, and this Master Li will allow you to be a sub-inspector of the salt department, and there is still a shortage of salt roads, how many people would not envy you!"

Instead, he picked up the imperial examination standard tutorial annotated by the vice president of the National University himself, and while rubbing it, Sun Chuanting made a rare joke with his poker face, and Song Qingshu's expression turned bitter when he heard it, and he spread his hands and said.

"Mr. Boya, don't make fun of me. It's not like you don't know who we are. If this is really serious, isn't it all exposed?"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry too much about the commander. Even if Mr. Li reports the name of the commander to the emperor, and the emperor takes care of Wanji, he will probably forget the name of the commander in a while. Besides..."

Speaking of this, Sun Chuanting actually had a sneer on his face again.

"Today is capricious, changing from day to day. Maybe this time I really made a great determination to rectify the Lianghuai Salt Industry. But next year, when I really want to do it, Your Majesty may not be able to make this determination. After all, the Lianghuai Salt Industry is profitable. It is inextricably linked, and I don't know how many officials in the court and the interests of local wealthy families are involved. I am afraid that by the spring of next year, even this top three Jinshi may not be able to do it. I'm afraid the Donglin princes who have rebounded will have to let the commander go home in a month or two!"

"I hope so!" Listening to Sun Chuanting's analysis, Song Qingshu finally relaxed a lot, and stretched his waist again, but at this time, Sun Chuanting suddenly looked serious and picked up the "Five Classics of Justice" .

"There is one more thing, the commander-in-chief has to hurry up. With this book, the commander-in-chief should also quickly set up an academy and accept some disciples. We are begging for a living army. There is a shortage of scribes and scholars!"

"Me, the recruit student?" Pointing at his nose, Song Qingshu yelled out in astonishment. When it comes to modern knowledge, he said that the second Ming Dynasty did not dare to be the first, but Song Qingshu has a few catties and a few taels of such things as Chinese studies. I know that I am afraid that any scholar who comes here can beat him to the ground and let him open the door to accept apprentices, that would be too ridiculous.

"No!" Sun Chuanting still shook his head solemnly.

"Marshal, you are now a disciple of Li Jiantai, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, personally accepted by Mr. Li. Who dares to laugh at your academic knowledge? And these are the ones that are really valuable!"

Weighing the small letter of greeting from Li Jiantai, Sun Chuanting snorted with a sneer and disdain: "Based on these, at least one-third of the tribute students in Qiuwei, Shanxi Prefecture can be the commander-in-chief! Ten years of hardship, who Don’t want fame? If you want to, you have to worship under the commander-in-chief, and you have to worship under the commander-in-chief, he is inseparable from the beggar army!”

Now Sun Chuanting can be regarded as completely thinking on the side of Qihuojun, seeing his sinister and jealous expression, Song Qingshu's eyes suddenly brightened...
