Chapter 265: Preparing for the College Examination (1)

"Brother Taichong, you don't have to send it anymore, if you have something to do when you turn around, go directly to the inn to find me, we want to change places to settle down during this time, and we will notify you as soon as possible."

Outside the east gate of the political envoy's yamen, Huang Zongxi pulled Liu Ximing to say goodbye reluctantly.

Liu Ximing was a little embarrassed, in front of so many people, this old brother was too enthusiastic, and he didn't know that he thought that the two of them were good at Longyang, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

But to say that, but today I still gained a lot from Ye Xianzu, not to mention that Ye Xianzu accepted the submissions of several people, just getting acquainted with Huang Zongxi alone was enough for Liu Ximing to wake up with a smile.

In the afternoon, during the conversation, he learned that now Huang Zongxi was mixed up with the group of people from the Fushe Society, and a group of people were building up each other's momentum, and they were very prosperous in Shilin in the southeast.

Liu Ximing is also envious of this kind of business blowing, although he knows in his heart that the Donglin Party and the Fushe in these years are not necessarily good birds.

But first, he is now on shaky ground, and he urgently needs to expand his fame and fight for opportunities for the next step.

Second, after all, there are still open-minded people like Huang Zongxi mixed in, and Liu Jianhou is also from Donglin, so Liu Ximing is naturally related to this organization.

When he enters the officialdom in the future, people will know with a little investigation that the relationship between Liu Jianhou and himself, even if Liu Ximing does not want to be a member of the Donglin Party, it is very likely that he will be classified into this category.

So what matters now is not how to get rid of the relationship with Donglin, but to take this opportunity to solve the problem of his own fame, Liu Ximing is clear about this.

It was already a little late to come out of Ye Xianzu and the others, and of course the plan of the class thought to visit Shao Jiechun and the others could only be postponed.

In the next few days, Liu Ximing took Du Liangji and others to follow Li Sisi to visit officials everywhere, not asking for anything else, just to get acquainted.

Huang Zongxi visited several times, and also used Ye Xianzu's identity to introduce some official eunuchs to them, and the fame of the people in Shunqing Mansion gradually gained some fame in a small circle.

All this is just to prepare for the hospital examination, and the number of people participating in the hospital examination in Sichuan Province is several thousand, and it is inevitable that these literati will inquire about the best among them.

If the people who finally pass the test are just some people who are not outstanding, then those students who fall behind will have something to say.

Liu Ximing didn't dare to underestimate these people, they all knew that rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry, and these students were intercepted by others, so they could do anything.

On May 28, Wu Demeng and his people finally found a more suitable courtyard.

Liu Ximing didn't go out this morning, so he went to see it with him.

This courtyard is located on Shuyuan Street and is a large courtyard with three entrances.

Not far from the courtyard is the Mochi Academy, which is also considered an elegant place, and there is a stone archway at the entrance of the street, on which are written the words "royal road is upright".

It is not far from the Chunxi Road of the later generations, and it is only less than four miles to the Shu Palace, that is, the imperial city, and it is very close to the major yamen.

Liu Ximing was a little moved in an instant, it seems that such a good place is a bit of a loss even if it is rented.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of displaced people outside Chengdu, Liu Ximing began to calculate.

At present, the pace of expansion of Liujia Village has slowed down slightly due to financial revenue, but after expanding its financial resources, it will always recruit a large number of people.

Shunqing's side has been targeted by many people because of the fine weaving reasons, although the duty room has been carrying out the work of the police room, but whether it can be checked or not.

On the contrary, it is here in Chengdu, and now he and a group of officials in Chengdu have somewhat connected with each other, at least the gift can be touched, and it should not be difficult to find them to take care of them.

It's just that Liu Ximing looked at Dou Yuquan and Xu Wei who came over, "How about we buy this courtyard?" ”

Xu Wei didn't know why Liu Ximing suddenly changed his mind, but he still persuaded: "Second brother, our foundation is not in Chengdu, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to buy such a big yard, isn't it a pity to be idle?" ”

Dou Yuquan smiled silently when he saw Liu Ximing, and guessed with a smile: "Could it be that you plan to send some people to run Chengdu?" But now that the rooms are busy, who will be in charge of this? ”

"This is a problem", Liu Ximing didn't expect to be selected.

He explained to Xu Wei, Wu Demeng and others: "I plan to send some people over to be responsible for recruiting displaced people in Chengdu, and on the other hand, I also have to take care of the work of opening up the Chengdu market and finding out the intelligence of the province." ”

"This matter is not the sole responsibility of any department, and only a few supervisors can be transferred over at that time, and it happens to be an important place for our cadres to exercise."

Hehe, Xu Wei and the others stopped speaking all of a sudden.

When it comes to personnel issues, the stakes are great.

Although there are still many vacancies in Liujia Village, no one will think that there are many positions.

Dou Yuquan glanced at a few people around him, as an assistant in the school, he knew everyone's minds better.

Still, there are some things that need to be said.

Dou Yuquan shook his head, "Chengdu is hundreds of miles away from Shunqing, even if the displaced people here are relatively safe, but it is very difficult to bring Shunqing back, I don't think this idea is appropriate." ”

"Hahaha, since I put it forward, of course I have considered it, this matter can't be done in a few days, and it still needs a long time to lay out, it's a big deal that we set up some post stations and other institutions like the imperial court along the way, how can we transport people over in 30 miles a day, or ten days."

"This expense is too big", Dou Yuquan smacked his tongue a little, "Even the imperial court has cut down the post station, can we afford it?" ”

"Poof", Liu Ximing laughed out loud all of a sudden, the finances of the Da Meng Dynasty were a joke, and in order to save this little money, he forced the laid-off worker Li Zicheng to Liangshan.

"We are different from the imperial court, firstly, there are not so many officials in the middle of the autumn breeze, and secondly, we are not just to give people away, we are familiar with the situation all the way back, and the goods of the commercial house are also convenient to transport."

A group of people suddenly realized, and they deeply realized that Liu Xi's life was one link after another.

The tooth man who led the way saw Liu Ximing and others discussing him separately, thinking that this order was going to be yellow, but he didn't expect it to turn from a small business to a big business, so he hurried to negotiate with the owner.

After some bargaining, Liu Ximing finally bought the entire courtyard for seven hundred and twenty taels of silver.

After buying a house, the life of everyone in Liujia Village in Chengdu suddenly calmed down.

In addition to Huang Zongxi, Zheng Mingrui and others who often come to visit, many scholars in Shunqing Mansion who are familiar with Du Liangji and others also often come here.

In June, the accommodation conditions in Chengdu deteriorated further, and the inns in the city were basically full.

As soon as Liu Ximing saw this situation, he went to the east and north of the city, where there were many people in Shunqing, and invited the scholars on No. 120 who were included in Du Liangji's list of potential to live in Shuyuan Street temporarily.

As a result, Liu Ximing's reputation among the scholars of Shunqing Mansion suddenly soared, and many people heard about this head of Nanchong County, who was light on wealth and righteousness.

This can make Lu Jiahong, Li Qifan and other official eunuchs of Shunqing Mansion half angry, Lu Jiahong is because he has a grudge against Liu Ximing, no matter how you look at him, it is not pleasing to the eye.

However, Li Qifan, the second generation of officials, felt that they should be in the limelight, why was they preempted by a rural villager like Liu Ximing.

For a while, the circle of Shunqing students began to become a little turbulent, and the poor scholars of Shunqing, who were originally a little lonely and helpless, suddenly found that there were so many helpful students.

The fact that the students of Shunqing Mansion helped each other gradually spread in the city of Chengdu, and not only the students in other state capitals were envious, but even the old man nodded and praised it.

As for Liu Ximing, the initiator, he took this opportunity to brush up his reputation under the business exchange of Huang Zongxi and others.

At the beginning of June, there were many rumors among the displaced people outside the city, saying that Liu Dashan from Shunqing Mansion was ready to help some displaced people go back to work, but the premise was that they had to be innocent, and it was best to drag their families with eloquence.

Originally, everyone didn't believe these nonsense, and the homeless people who should have bought and sold their daughters had already sold them, and the rest were all in groups to survive.

Who doesn't know that these landlords and gentry are all cramps and skins, and they also recruit people to go back to work.

Fool you, you must buy it back and be a slave.

Who knew that a few days later, the people who went to the city to ask for food came back and said that the scholars in the city who were rushing for the exam were spreading the word about how Liu Dashan people were happy to help others and be kind and charitable, and a group of people's minds were floating, is this still true?

Before everyone could react, a group of plainly dressed young men went deep into the pile of displaced people outside the east of the city and began to inquire which families were willing to go to Shunqing, and it was said that those who met their conditions were also given white-flour steamed buns.

At this time, the displaced people outside the city were about to boil, and many people did not go to the city to ask for food, but ran to the east of the city to inquire everywhere.

For a time, the law and order in Chengdu greatly improved.
