To enter Beijing to catch the exam, you don't have to take a merchant ship, but you can also take the free public boat provided by the water station.

There are buses at the horse post and a bus at the water post, but you have to change trains along the way.

Under normal circumstances, the means of transportation of one post station can only take you to the next post station. And if there are a little more passengers, you have to take turns, and you have to stay at the post station and wait.

Therefore, taxis who have a little money at home and have a long distance will basically not choose to take this kind of free bus.

Zou Shouyi's family is rich, and four generations have produced five jinshi. If he weren't affected by the butterfly effect, he would be the sixth Jinshi, and he would be the first to score in the exam!

But this guy is very interesting, and he takes the bus and the bus all the way. When the traffic was busy, he stayed at the post station and waited, and he read a book while waiting. Reading books when taking the bus, and reading books when taking the bus, is not the kind of temporary cramming, but studying Cheng Zhu Lixue.

Historically, Zou Shouyi was named as a tanhua and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. As a result, after only one year in the Hanlin Academy, he resigned and returned to his hometown to study knowledge, turned to Yangming Psychology halfway, and served as the editor-in-chief of "Wang Yang's Next Year's Spectrum" - Wang Yangming was his auditor.

Do you think Zou Shouyi is an old pedant?

He is only 20 years old this year!

That is to say, at the age of twenty-one, he resigned from the Hanlin Academy and went back to his hometown to study the science of Raushzi. You say that he is stupid in his brain, and he is a genius child.

Some scholars even believe that Zou Shouyi is the only disciple who has received the true transmission of Wang Yangming. Only with his erudition can he match Wang Yangming's brain waves, and many esoteric questions cannot be understood by other disciples.

At this moment, Zou Shouyi has completely broken away from the shackles of the imperial examination in terms of talent and learning. He was 100% admitted to the Jinshi, only to see if he could take the top three, or the top five, or simply the first place.

Therefore, he has long since stopped reading the Four Books, occasionally reviewing the Five Classics, and studying the origins of the Song Dynasty on the public boat.

This is the world of super scholars, which mortals cannot understand.

Suddenly, a girl's surprised voice came from the cabin next door: "Sir, is that Nanjing City?" The walls are so high! ”

The sound insulation effect of the cabin is very poor, and a peaceful male voice can be faintly heard: "Nanjing is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the city wall is extremely high." ”

"I'd love to go into the city." The girl is full of curiosity.

The man smiled: "Although there are many public boats in Nanjing Water Station, there are more people on the boat, and it is not easy to get on the boat again after getting off the boat." ”

Zou Shouyi and the men and girls next door all boarded the boat in Taiping Mansion (Ma'anshan City). Because he was carrying several people who went to the examination, Yicheng took special care of them and promised not to return to Nanjing, but to send them directly to Zhenjiang.

As early as the post station in Jiangxi, Zou Shouyi met these two people and said a few words to each other.

Zou Shouyi only knew that the man's name was Wang Shouren, who was the chief official in Luling, a neighboring county, and this time he was ordered to go to Beijing to perform his duties. He didn't bother to ask in detail, let alone deliberately make friends, and devoted himself to research.

However, the girl who followed Wang Shouren could attract Zou Shouyi's attention even more.

This girl seems to be Wang Shouren's daughter and Wang Shouren's maid. Anyway, he doesn't know much about etiquette, and he often shouts and yells, which annoys Zou Shouyi a lot.

The public boat stopped at the Nanjing wharf, went down to the two officials, and immediately set sail for Zhenjiang without waiting for anyone to board the ship.

Adjoining cabins.

Song Ling'er looked at the city of Nanjing, which was gradually moving away, and asked Wang Yangming, who was reading: "Sir, do you think Wang Er will go to the capital for the exam this year?" ”

"Possibly." Wang Yangming said.

"Is that a chance to meet him?" Song Ling'er was happy.

Wang Yangming shook his head and sighed: "Idiot." ”

Although the city of Beijing is very large, as long as Wang Yuan is admitted to the Jinshi, he will definitely meet Wang Yangming. Because Wang Yangming is the same examiner of this examination, he will also serve as a room official when marking the papers, and it is even possible to correct Wang Yuan's papers.

Wang Yangming is not just as simple as returning to Beijing to be an examiner, he will be promoted three times in a row this year, successively serving as the director of the Seal Inspection Department of the Ministry of Officials, the director of the Wai Lang, and the director of the Literature and Anthology Department, and next year he will be transferred to serve as the Inspector of the Ministry of Officials!

Of the four fattest central departments of the Ming Dynasty, two were the Wenxuan Division and the Examination Division.

The Department of Literature and Anthology can directly appoint officials below the fourth grade, even including the prefect and the prefecture, without going through the official department. Wang Yangming will be the third-in-command of the Anthology Division this year.

The meritorious service department is responsible for evaluating officials at all levels, and at the same time giving a list of officials who need to be promoted and punished. By next year, Wang Yangming will be the number one in charge of the merit examination department, and the promotion and demotion of officials across the country will be in his hands. Xi Shu was also promoted to Guizhou Zuo to participate in politics in this year, mostly because Wang Yangming secretly helped.

Historically, Wang Yangming only worked in the examination department for more than half a year, and was promoted again to Nanjing Taifu Siqing - this official position is a pension for the elderly Guo Shen, and a promising future for Wang Yangming in the prime of life.

From Zhixian to Taifu Siqing, he was promoted five times in two years, and he jumped from the seventh rank to the third grade, which was about the same as riding a rocket.

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials!

Whoever made the cabinet bigwigs are all friends of Wang Yangming's father, and they are all fellow workers who fight against eunuchs together.

Historically, Wang Yangming was politically suppressed and was involved in the court dispute between Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong was the secretary of the military department at the time, and he had never met Wang Yangming at all, but he appreciated his talent very much and promoted Wang Yangming to be the governor of Jiangxi.

Yang Tinghe immediately regarded Wang Yangming as Wang Qiong's confidant, and after suppressing the rebellion of King Ning, he insidiously forced Wang Yangming to resign voluntarily - in fact, he was promoted to the rank of knight, promoted to the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and was knighted as "Xinjian Bo". But as long as Wang Yangming accepts the official title, it is equivalent to betraying his Bole Wang Qiong, and he stabbed Wang Qiong when he was in the most danger.

Wang Yangming naturally chose kindness and righteousness, and returned to his hometown under the pretext of Ding Wei, and resigned from the official position of Zheng Erpin.

He lived at home for six years, until a rebellion broke out in Liangguang, and the governor Yao Yi was unable to quell the chaos. Wang Yangming was reinstated and directly served as the governor and governor of Liangguang.

The rebellion that the previous governor couldn't handle, Wang Yangming had just sent troops, and before the battle started, the rebels actually surrendered...... only because they were intimidated by his prestige.

"Sir, Sister Ling'er, it's time to eat." Wang Xiang came in with food.

Wang Yangming nodded and said with a smile: "Xiang'er also sits." ”

Wang Changxi and Wang Changle, the two servants, have returned to their hometown in Yuyao.

After Wang Xiang recovered from his illness, he also rushed to Jiangxi from Guizhou, and now he has followed Wang Yangming into Beijing to perform his duties - in "Wang Yang's Next Year's Spectrum", Wang Xiang did not mention it when he left Guizhou, and it has been decades since he reappeared, and his identity is Wang Yangming's old housekeeper.

When Wang Xiang entered the door, he heard a conversation between the two. He sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, with the talent of Second Brother Wang, I will definitely be able to pass the township test last year, and most of them will enter Beijing this spring." After you arrive in the capital, you can go to the Guizhou Hall to look for people first, and then go to various inns to look for them. ”

"There is no Guizhou guild hall in the capital." Wang Yangming suddenly burst out.

"Uh......" Wang Xiang was speechless.

Due to the social and economic prosperity, commercial guilds have appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the capital, merchants from all over the country have raised funds to build guild halls, and fellow villagers can go to the examination when they send people to take the exam, not only providing free food and accommodation, but also all kinds of conditions are very convenient.

However, the merchants in the Yunnan-Guizhou region definitely did not have a guild hall in Beijing, so Wang Yuan could only find a place to live by himself.

Song Linger left Guizhou and vowed to let Wang Yuan find a Han woman to marry. But after a long separation, the more she missed, this time she had the opportunity to meet in Beijing, and she suddenly had infinite expectations, just looking forward to arriving in the capital as soon as possible.

"Alas, I don't know what happened to the three heroes of civil engineering." Song Ling'er not only misses Wang Yuan, but also misses the three ocelots.

As everyone knows, the three cats have become a public nuisance, because there are countless chickens in Qingzhai, they don't want to catch rats and wild things, and they circle around the chicken coop all day long.

Fireproof, anti-theft, anti-oceloce!

After Song Ling'er had lunch, she lay on the porthole and looked out of the river. The river breeze blew her hair, and her thoughts had flown back to Guizhou,
