The first thing Wang Yuan did when he returned to Guiyang was to visit Xie Xishu and Shen Fuxuan.

One is his Taoist test master, and the other is his teacher, who is admitted to Xie Yuan not only to thank him, but also to seal a big red envelope.

Xi Shu was very happy, and without waiting for Wang Yuan to kneel, he helped him up and said, "Ruoxu is really a prodigy, haha!" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Thanks to the cultivation and teaching of several gentlemen. ”

Shen Fuxuan has obviously become Xi Shu's confidant, and his words and deeds are very casual at the moment. He held the teacup and asked, "When will you leave for Beijing?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "When I go back to the cottage to reunite with my family and stay for a few days, I will set off." ”

"It is true that we should have set off earlier, because the climate in the capital is dry, and the southerners may not be accustomed to the water and soil. When you arrive in Beijing, you should keep a bucket of water in your room so that you don't have nosebleeds. Xi Shu talked about his experience of entering Beijing to take the exam.

The air quality in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty was very poor, and sandstorms were common, even during the Liaojin period.

According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, in the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, there were 95 years of large-scale sandstorms. Except for the June and July of the lunar calendar, there were no sandstorms, and there were sandstorms in the rest of the months: "Its mountain boys, its rivers are dirty, its sand and soil are raised, and the dust rises to the sky!" ”

The trial is held in spring, which happens to be the season of sandstorms in Beijing!

Xi Shu talked about some precautions for going to Beijing for the exam, and asked about Wang Yuan's encounter in Kunming, so he took Wang Yuan and Shen Fuxuan to drink wine.

After Master Shen's introduction, Wang Yuan learned the details of Guizhou at this time.

Wei Ying was demoted to Yunnan as a political envoy to Zuobu, and now there is no governor in Guizhou.

After Guo Shen went to Nanjing to become the Taifu Siqing, the new political envoy of Zuobu was called Gao Chongxi, who was the political envoy of Sichuan Youbu before. This person was promoted by Liu Jin, for no other reason, just because Gao Chongxi is from Shanxi - Gonggong Liu likes to promote Shaanxi villagers the most, and then he likes to promote Shanxi officials, and then it is the turn of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, which are on the list.

Historically, Gao Chongxi only served in Guizhou for one year, and then he was transferred back to Sichuan as a governor to quell the rebellion. Later, he was impeached and imprisoned by the official, and was killed by thieves on the way to escort, and Zhu Houzhao personally wrote a memorial for him to be rehabilitated.

Xi Shu said with a smile: "When Gao Fangbo first arrived in Guizhou, we all regarded him as a eunuch, and I never thought that he was a cadre. He handed over all political affairs to Zhu to participate in politics, and he made every effort to coordinate the suppression of bandits, and now he has completely opened up the post road from Guiyang to Banzhou. ”

It seems that this new political envoy of Zuobu has opened up the situation in Guizhou, at least he will not be mistaken for a eunuch.

As for Zhu to participate in politics, this gentleman's name is Zhu Ji, and he was promoted from the deputy envoy to the left to participate in politics.

Zhu Ji is Wang Yangming's fan brother, and he sent his two sons with him to Wang Yangming as students.

A son named Zhu Guangbi, he didn't even bother to take the township exam, and devoted his life to spreading psychology.

A son named Zhu Guangji, after being promoted to inspect the matter, he did not go to the post, thinking that he had tasted the taste of being an official, and after resigning, he also went to spread the study of mind. Moreover, he was an honest official, and after returning to his hometown, his family was surrounded by walls, and he also trained his son to become a disciple of Xinxue.

The "Zhu Kunzhong" mentioned in Wang Yangming's letter are these two people, and Wang Yuan has a good relationship with them.

The classmate's father is in charge of government affairs in Guizhou, and if Wang Yuan continues to stay in Guiyang, it can also be very moisturized. At least more than half of the high-level officials in Guizhou have a close relationship with Wang Yangming, which is the benefit of worshipping the right teacher.

Bidding farewell to Xi Shu and Master Shen, Wang Yuan went to visit Song Gongzi again, and brought Jin Wei with him.

Sure enough, Jin Wei and Song Gongzi hit it off at first sight, and moved directly to the Song clan to live, and fought against Song Gongzi and Principal Song (Song Xuan) every day.

The road from Guiyang back to Qingzhai was unimpeded, and under the suppression of the new political envoy Gao Chongxi, the rebel territory had shrunk to the northeast corner of Guizhou.

However, it has never been able to completely quell the chaos, and the Miao rebels still have 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the official army is no longer enough food and grass. The Song native soldiers defended the city more than enough, and they would inevitably be blinded when they were pulled out to fight in the field; An's fell into the infighting of the three sons, An Guirong dragged it hard, but he didn't die, and it was useless to desperately support the eldest son - the eldest son was too brutal and unpopular, and An Guirong even had the intention of abolishing Chang Lixian.

Returning to Chuanqingzhai again, Wang Yuan found many new faces.

There is no need for the owner of Fangzhai to go down the mountain to solicit, and many of the displaced people who lost their homes in the war choose to run to the Qingzhai. The population of the village has almost doubled to more than 2,000, and newly cultivated land can be seen everywhere.

"Second brother, this is your home?" Zhou Chong was very surprised, he had always thought that Wang Yuan was a child of a rich family.

Wang Yuan smiled: "Very disappointed? ”

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "I'm not disappointed, I admire the second brother even more." ”

A child of a poor mountain man, who was in high school at the age of fifteen, what could be more inspiring?

"Wang Erlang is back?"

"Brother Yuan has grown taller again."

"Wang Er, have you lifted people in the exam?"

“……”

Along the way, there were villagers greeting each other, and they were all with admiration.

Wearing Qingzhai has been able to prosper in the past two years, thanks to Wang Yuan's design of ambushing the rebel baggage team, all the villagers have shared some goods, and they can also leave enough public property to lend to newcomers to open up wasteland.

As for the news of Wang Yuan's entrance examination, it has not yet been transmitted back to the cottage.

That has to be Yunnan and Guizhou to promote the envoy, send an official document to the Guizhou academic and political department, all the way up the mountain and the road, the ghost knows where the headache and brain fever are delayed.

Neither parents nor brothers are at home, only the sister-in-law is holding her nephew, and her five-year-old sister Wang Wei is also taking her.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!" Wang Yuan shouted with a smile.

Wang Fangshi stood up in surprise: "Erlang is back, this is your classmate?" ”

Wang Yuan introduced: "His name is Zhou Chong, and he is my entourage on the road. Zhou Chong, this is my sister-in-law, this is my sister. ”

Zhou Chong hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

Wang Fang's family was quite surprised, he didn't expect that the Wang family also had slaves, so he hurriedly went back to the room and took some copper coins and handed them to Zhou Chong as a meeting gift.

"Second brother." Wang Wei shouted timidly.

Because Wang Yuan is studying abroad all the year round, the little sister is not very close to him. Fortunately, during the Spring Festival this year, Wang Yuan brought some toys and delicious food back, so that the little sister could remember him firmly, otherwise he would have forgotten what the second brother looked like.

Wang Yuan picked up his little sister: "I taught you the words I taught you to recognize during the New Year, do you still remember them?" ”

Wang Wei nodded and said, "Well, remember, one, two, three...... Eighty or ninety, and my own name. ”

"That's smart." Wang Yuan winked at Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong immediately took out the toys and delicacies, made the little sister's eyes shine, lay on Wang Yuan's shoulder and said, "Second brother is so good!" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Then kiss the second brother." ”

"Hee-hee." Wang smiled and imprinted a bite on his face.

Wang Yuan said to Wang Fangshi again: "Sister-in-law, I brought some fabrics back for Abba and Grandma, as well as you and your eldest brother. Uncle Fang also has a copy, you can help bring it when you go back to your parents' house. ”

"It's all my own family, what are you bringing?" Wang Fangshi said and took the gift from Zhou Chong's hand, and was so happy to see those bright fabrics.

Parents and eldest brother are busy, this time belongs to the farming season, the owner of the village took the whole village to dig the aqueduct. With the manpower of Qingzhai at this time, it is estimated that there will be two or three more agricultural slack seasons to be repaired, and then there will be no fear of drought and water shortage, and future generations can enjoy convenience.

Wang Yuan hugged his little sister into the house and said with a smile: "Let's go, the second brother will teach you the "Three Character Classic". ”
