My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 78 Gun Cannon

Everyone didn't ask what Su Ze's "original heart" was, and they didn't continue the topic.

For the four of them, academics are too far away.

It's like a student who hasn't graduated from high school and doesn't think about how to publish a doctoral thesis. Let's go step by step.

Hai Rui called Su Ze outside the dormitory, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Su Ze and said:

"This is the official document of the Ministry of War that I copied from the mansion newspaper today."

Su Ze quickly said gratefully: "Thank you teacher!"

Hai Rui waved his hand and said, "You are from a guard, so it's right to care about the guard's affairs, but the imperial examination is the way to go, and you must not lose the big because of small things."

Su Ze nodded quickly, what Hai Rui said was also the opinion of common scholars in this era.

This is that all things are inferior, only reading is high.

However, Su Ze obviously did not agree with this statement. After traveling to the present, Su Ze found that the Ming Dynasty was rotten.

Such a rotten dynasty, can it be saved by relying on the imperial examination to be an official?

Su Ze originally had this idea, but now it has gradually disappeared.

Zhang Juzheng was already regarded as a fierce man who studied, and he was also a fierce man who manipulated power as an official in history, and the final result was nothing but death.

Not to mention whether Zhang Juzheng's reform is a good law or a bad law, and even such a law that is beneficial to the Ming court cannot be adhered to. What can the Ming Dynasty change by relying on reading?

Su Ze already had some ideas in his mind. The imperial examination is naturally a way. The system of the Ming Dynasty determined that studying and becoming an official is a way to quickly improve, which can quickly bring Su Ze fame and status.

And Changning Wei Su Ze didn't want to give up either. This coastal guard is a vast ocean when going out to sea, not far away is Treasure Island and Ryukyu, and going south is Nanyang.

Isn't this an excellent place to rebel!

Su Ze buried this thought in his heart for the time being, Changningwei is still too weak now, let's go through the predicament step by step first.

Hai Rui told Su Ze again: "Study hard after you go back, I will test your homework next month. In addition, you can also start thinking about the matter of curing the classics. After you choose, you can transcribe it in the county school." , and take it back to study.”

There is a complete set of "Four Books and Five Classics" in the county school, but this is the public property of the county school, and it is impossible for Hai Rui to ask Su Ze to borrow it back.

But it is possible to copy books in the county school, and copying books is also the only way for the ancients to study. Many children from poor families learn by copying books.

Su Ze thanked Hai Rui again.

There was nothing to say all night, and after the morning reading the next morning, the four of them set foot on the way home.

Chen Chaoyuan lived in the city, and everyone sent him home first. His family lived in an alley near the city gate. This was a simple small courtyard. Chen Chaoyuan called his wife out and greeted the three of them warmly.

Daming asked the female relatives to meet the guests, which was a good friendship between the whole family. The three of Su Ze were a little ashamed and did not bring gifts.

In the end, it was Xiong Yue who took out three more cans of tea, and the three of them gave the tea to Chen Chaoyuan's wife, which resolved the embarrassment of visiting empty-handed.

Although the small yard of Chen Chaoyuan's house was simple, it was well organized. After greeting the three of them to enter, Chen's wife brought new tea.

Su Ze couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, what do you do for a living in Nanping City?"

Chen Chaoyuan didn't think Su Ze was presumptuous. Last night's drinking and talking had brought everyone closer together, and he also admired Su Ze's talent, so he said directly:

"On weekdays, I help my cousin write pleading papers for others, and write some deeds and embellish pens, so I can barely make ends meet."

It turns out that the pleadings are the indictment for going to the yamen to file a lawsuit, and the deed is a legal document such as a contract, an IOU, and a contract. This is also a job that ordinary scholars can do.

It's just that Chen Chaoyuan doesn't have any fame, so he probably can't go to court to help people with lawsuits, so he can only do this kind of auxiliary work of writing pleadings, which is equivalent to a paralegal who has not obtained professional qualifications in a modern law firm.

Xiong Yue is a tea farmer in Wuyi Mountain, but his family is considered a rich farmer, with a tea garden, and many tenants in the family who help grow tea and pick tea, he is considered the best family among the four.

Lin Qingcai was farming in a village outside the city. His family was a branch of the Marquis Lin's, and it was also a big family in the village. Lin Qingcai was the most accomplished son of the clan, and he was only able to study because of the family's subsidies.

Hearing that Su Ze is a child of the military guard, and he also runs a guard school to teach in the guard, the three of them respect Su Ze even more.

Chen's wife's enthusiasm was hard to stop, and the three of them had lunch at Chen's house before setting off for the return trip.

This time, the way back was a lot safer. The whole guards in Fujian were trembling and did not dare to set up cards to force donations. They also increased their efforts to suppress bandits, which improved the security of Fujian by several levels.

Su Ze rode a donkey and returned to Changningwei before evening.

"Brother!"

Lin Cainiang was already waiting in front of the guard, and when she saw Su Ze coming back, she hurriedly waved.

Little radish Lin Liangjun was also nearby, jumping up happily after seeing Su Ze.

Still home!

Su Ze sighed again, and led the donkey into Changningwei.

In the woods next to the guard, a figure wearing a wide-brimmed gauze hat saw Su Ze come back, and then returned to the Baihu Office with peace of mind.

After returning the donkey back to the temple, Su Ze did not rest directly, but came to the ancestral hall and asked to see the old man.

Su Ze first handed over the court official documents Hai Rui gave him to his grandfather, and then told his grandfather all the news he had inquired from Yu Zongyuan.

After the old man finished listening, he stroked his beard and said, "Censor Qingjun, this is going to be troublesome."

Su Ze and his grandfather were sitting to discuss matters, while Lin Xianyang stood aside and listened. Since the last fight, the grandfather had consciously brought Lin Xianyang to participate in clan affairs, which was also a training and training for him.

Lin Xianyang still didn't know the seriousness of the imperial censor's Qing army, he said confusedly: "Isn't the imperial court going to dismiss officials and descendants? Our Changning Weiqing is innocent, so why should we be afraid of it?"

The old man sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if we say it's innocent, it's up to the censor to say it. For now, I just hope that Changningwei is only a hundred households, so don't be targeted by the censor."

"Xianyang, tell me, you must keep a low profile these days."

"Old households still have some relationship with the general manager in Beiwa. Let's find a way to find out the direction of the wind when the censor arrives in Fuzhou."

In fact, the old grandfather is not only worried about the imperial censor's Qing army, but also the identity of Lin Mojun's woman. If the imperial censor finds out, it will not be extortion, but the entire Changning Guard will be punished!

The old man closed his eyes in pain. Was the risky move of the old Baihu after the death of the battle worth it?

But now that this step has been reached, Chang Ningwei can't help but regret it, so he can only bite the bullet and go on.

Su Ze took out the money for selling sugar again, and said to his old grandpa, "Grandpa, I have another idea."

The old man looked at Su Ze and asked, "Ah Ze, if you have any ideas, just tell me, the guard will definitely cooperate with you."

Su Ze said: "The imperial censor Qing army will inevitably cause turmoil in the southeast. I am afraid that Japanese pirates will attack and harass the guard."

"So?" The old man looked at Su Ze suspiciously.

"I'd like to buy a blunderbuss and a Franc cannon."
