It is said that the imperial examination is very similar to the examination system of later generations, but Qian Yuan does not see it that way.

The success of the imperial examination is to be able to become an official, and the examination in later generations is only for higher academic qualifications, and there is not much comparison between the two.

However, Qian Yuan also agreed with the point of view mentioned by Zhang Juzheng before, and most of the 300 jinshi screened out from the national scholars every three years were waste snacks.

It is said that the 26th year of Jiajing is the highest quality in the history of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen, who are famous in history, there are also famous ministers such as Li Chunfang, Yang Jisheng, Wang Daokun, Lu Guangzu, Ling Yunyi, and Yin Shizhan.

But even so, there are also wastes like Hu Peng, the commander of Jiading County.

When the news of the possible attack of the Japanese invaders came, what Hu Peng did opened Qian Yuan's eyes, and this guy didn't do anything except hide in the county government and shiver, so he almost stuffed his head under the bed.

Although Hu Xian Ling did not abandon the city and flee, so that he could preserve the integrity of a scholar, this did not help the next defense of the city.

Well, it's not right, at least this guy doesn't take power, which gives Lu Bin, Qian Yuan, Zheng Ruozeng, and the local head catchers and officials enough room to operate.

Although Jiading City has a long history, it is only a small city, covering a small area, with only two gates in the east and west.

Not far from the West City Gate, Qian Yuan was chatting with Sun Kehong with his hands behind his back, and Yang Wen, Wu Zhutou and others not far away led a group of summoned villagers to carry out the demolition project...... Uh, no, only demolition, relocation is not temporary.

"One, two, three...... Hard! ”

"Squeaky ......"

"Boom ......"

The house, which was not solid, was knocked down by a giant tree, and several men and women not far away looked at this scene with worried faces, causing Gui Youguang, who had just come over, to frown.

Glancing at the face of his old friend, Zheng Ruozeng explained in a low voice: "It should be like this, the defending side of the city, the vicinity of the city gate must be cleaned up, otherwise the transfer of troops and interception will delay time, I didn't expect this Qian family to know some art of war." ”

Gui Youguang snorted and didn't say anything, he and Qian Yuan looked at each other with disgust, and they didn't go over to annoy people, but Zheng Ruozeng said a few words in the past.

"The remaining weapons of the Taicang Guard have all been moved, most of them are spears, but the quality is ......" Zheng Ruozeng smiled bitterly, "In addition, there are about 150 hired villagers, plus a total of nearly 100 people under General Lu and the servants and arresters, and one gun may not be enough." ”

Qian Yuan frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Please ask Senior Zheng to let people sort out the materials that can be used and register them, and send someone to be in charge of food and security, ......."

After a pause, Qian Yuan whispered: "I have collected relevant information in the governor's yamen, from the beginning of the 31st year of Jiajing to the present, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, and Fujian have been attacked a total of thirteen times, of which ten times are internal and external cooperation. ”

"After all, the Japanese are not an army, and sieges are often directed at the city gates." Zheng Ruozeng nodded in agreement, "I will explain to Zhang Xiancheng to let people keep an eye on the county prison." ”

"As long as the city gate is not broken, it is unlikely that the Japanese will break the city." Qian Yuan was a little nervous and a little excited, but he was still a little uneasy, and he humbly and sincerely asked: "Senior Zheng, are there any loopholes in your preparations for guarding the city?" ”

"It's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but from yesterday to now, Mr. Qian has an insight into the opportunity to get rid of the thieves first, and then arrange people to go out of the city to investigate." Zheng Ruozeng praised with a smile: "The Songjiang Qian family has always been a family heirloom with poetry, but I didn't expect that there was a soldier...... Uh, gaffes. ”

After the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the soldier was not a good word.

Qian Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Now that the southeast coast is full of beacons, soldiers can be useful." ”

"Does Mr. Qian really want to join the Fang Division in the future?" Zheng Ruo once felt that this young man was not as bitter and mean as Gui Youguang's description, "Uncle Tan Zili was praised by Da Sima for his talent when he was in Fang Shilang, and he was promoted to the prefect of Taizhou." ”

can be said with Qi Jiguang, naturally there are generals, Qian Yuan is a little happy, if I remember correctly, Tan Lun was later promoted to the governor of Fujian, the governor of Jiliao, and finally died of illness in the military department during the Wanli period, this is a big thick leg.

Speaking of this, Zheng Ruozeng changed the topic, "Mr. Qian, if you don't think Zheng is talking too much......

"Senior, please speak."

"What Mr. Qian has done from yesterday to now, Mr. Zhenchuan also sees it, it is just a small misunderstanding between you and him......"

"Hahaha, it seems that Zhenchuan Gong and Senior Zheng have a lot of friendship." Qian Yuan smiled freely, "It's still mine, it's not ......"

Zheng Ruozeng was a little embarrassed, glanced at Sun Kehong beside Qian Yuan, and then turned away with a few smiles.

"Brother Yuan, don't you know?" After Sun Kehong vomited yesterday, he made up his mind after receiving assurances from Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruo that the Japanese would not be able to capture Jiading City, and he did not come out to see the situation until this afternoon.

"Know what?" Qian Yuan replied casually, beckoning Wu Zhutou, "Old Wu, how did that matter go?" ”

The stout Wu Zhutou nodded again and again, "Everything that can be collected has been collected...... Mr. Qian, what is that for? ”

"It's not ready yet, we'll know when the time comes." Qian Yuan summoned Yang Wen, Zhang San and others to order them one by one, and calculated in his heart that there was nothing missing, and then he turned around and asked, "Brother Yun, what do you know?" ”

Sun Kehong, who had been waiting for a while, had a good temper, and he said with a smile: "Don't you know that Zhenchuan Gong and Senior Zheng are brothers-in-law?" ”

"Brother-in-law?" Qian Yuan blinked, "I don't know." ”

"Senior Zheng studied art under the Kunshan Confucian Wei School, and became friends with Mr. Zhenchuan back then, and both of them married Wei Xiao's niece." Sun Kehong sighed: "The Jiangnan family has many marriages and friendships, and the relationship is intertwined. ”

It's just a classmate, and they married the teacher's niece together, is it as exaggerated as you say?

But when Sun Kehong, who has a wide range of contacts, finished speaking, Qian Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, how intricate it is!

Wei Xiao and his younger brother Wei Zhen were both Jinshi during the Hongzhi period, and now the Wei family is only behind the Gu family in Kunshan.

And Wei Xiao's mother is the daughter of the famous Xu Youzhen, who is the one who led the "change of seizing the door" and was unjustly killed by Shaobao with "intention".

Xu Youzhen has only one son, but has six daughters, one married to Wei Xiao's father, and several siblings are married to Zhu Xuan, Jiang Tinggui, Zhu Xiu, and Wang Ying.

Don't talk about other people, just talk about Zhu Xuan, his son is Zhu Yunming among the four great talents in Jiangnan, which is what later generations called Zhu Zhishan.

And the Zhu family in Suzhou in-laws are as old as the carp crossing the river, his father-in-law is Li Yingzhen, a famous man in Suzhou during the Chenghua period, wrote a good handwriting, and accepted a student named Wen Zhengming......

Qian Yuan regretted it a little.

Wen Zhengming, who is excellent in calligraphy and painting, is not dead, and originally wanted to find an opportunity to come to the door to ask for Mobao.
