Chapter 39 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 39

[Of course, I still ask for votes, but because I ignored the research before, there was a small error, and the dart game was not officially born in the Ming Dynasty, so the plot of the dart game was modified, and there were some minor changes in the previous chapters]

'Is this a list?' ’

The people who have gathered suddenly heard the words, today is the 24th day of August, that's right, the day of the day.

Township examinations and other imperial examinations are issued, and the rules since the Tang Dynasty are all selected on the day of Chenri or Yinri, Chenlong Yinhu, so this list is also called the Dragon and Tiger List. Now that the good news has come to the door, the list of the yellow silk pavilion must have been sent from the Gongyuan to the Yamen of the Political Envoy.

The two people who announced the good news were still noisy, "The lord has to change the court, don't break the rules." ”

At this time, it was customary for anyone who came to report the good news, and the first thing to do was to beat the door to pieces, and then the mason came in to mend a new one, and then asked for a reward.

At this time, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a steward standing in front of the two newspapers, it was Su Zhen, and he was also followed by several big men, looking like Su Zhen was looking at the horse. The big men tried their best to stop it, but Su Zhen spoke very modestly, "A few of you have seen it, we are a restaurant that is open for business, and the two gentlemen are just living here temporarily, and it is not their house, and the glass on this window will cost a few taels of silver, and I am afraid that it will not end well if it is smashed." ”

The two leading newspapers saw that they were bored, looked at each other, and said stiffly, "How can there be a reason to stop the good news from the door, and ask the two masters to come out and I will wait for flattery." ”

Su Zhen didn't pay attention to it, and took out two Mo money from his money bag, "The two gentlemen have worked hard in the exam, and now they are resting, and besides, the good news of the clan division will be sent out in the next few days, and they have to rush back to their hometown, right?" I also invited a few people to drink some tea. ”

After saying that, he divided the money with everyone, and the people who came looked at it a few more times and then went to the next house. These were originally local idlers, and there were also foot-walking husbands, just waiting to ask for some money, and as soon as Su Zhen opened his mouth, he knew that he was a local knowledgeable, so when he saw that there was no drama here, he hurriedly went to the next one. After all, Su Zhen made it clear that these people were not public officials, and the official news of the political envoy had not yet been issued.

The number of people in Guangdong No. 1 is around 80, and the news of the lifting will be sent to the state capital where the person is examined in the form of an official document in the form of an official document, and then sent to the county. The public who went to report the victory with the good news of the big red will have to be a few days in the evening, one is left for the family of the child to prepare, and the other is also a major event in the glory township, even if there is an official ceremony, it cannot be rushed. And generally speaking, the state capital level and the county government below will also send their own newspapers after receiving the official document, so it is the third level of success, but these three reports must come to the door at the same time.

Guangdong Chengxuan political envoy under the jurisdiction of the eleven state capitals, two people and a team of newspapers to send dozens of teams, naturally there are far and near, but can only be reported on the day of the day and the day of the day, so usually have to wait for two or three days to wait for the next day of the day or day to the county where the person is located, but will not set off so early.

Gong Kexiu and Zhang Zhigui were arranged by Gu Ziming to live temporarily in the back garden of the Four Seasons Building these days, and Gu Ziming deliberately took care of them preferentially, like them, there are many people who come from other counties to stay in the provincial capital after the exam and wait for the list to be released, which gives those idle people the same thing to do, and I don't know where they found out where they found out that the residence of the two new imperial examination people actually came to the door directly, if it weren't for Su Zhen in this courtyard, then it would really be knocked on the door of Gu Dongzhu's house by this group of people, and then Huang Niangzi's face was afraid that it would not look good. Seeing that the group of people walked away from the hospital, the big man was relieved, and Gong Kexiu and the two were also intuitively happy, fortunately, there should not be many people who knew about it, and sure enough, no one came again.

I just heard the rumor that Gong and Zhang had come out, but they still missed the group of drummers, but they met Wang Xingping who was watching the excitement at the door.

"Waitress congratulations to the two seniors." Wang Xingping was the first to react, he had been very close to Gu Ziming and others these days, Gong and Zhang had naturally met a few times, and it was these two high school students who hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, and several other Confucian students were also compliments.

Su Zhen saw Wang Xingping and knew that he was a person valued by Gu Dongzhu, and there were many Confucian scholars beside him, who also came to pay respects. Since he relied on the backer of the Australians, he and his brothers trembled, so when Gu Ziming said that he wanted to establish a dart bureau to carry goods for merchants, Su Zhen was even more willing, although there were many people in the Ming Dynasty and people who practiced martial arts to participate in the escort of trade and freight, but there was no certain organization, and martial arts like Su Zhen were mostly maintained by the same door, and the business was not stable.

Although there are so-called dart players in Fujian and Zhang, it is still different from Gu Ziming's dart game to ensure the safety of passengers and goods, not to mention that Gu Ziming's Wantong dart game also has to take into account the operation of the boat and the inn, and the business will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

However, after half a year, Wantong's business expanded, with Gu Ziming mediating in the middle, not only the Australian industry in Guangzhou was handed over to Wantong bodyguards, but even the high-minded business was also taken over, and the underwriting of Australian goods in other provinces was also handed over to Wantong Carrier. Now Su Zhen has brought in several of his fellow disciples and brothers, as well as a group of apprentices and nephews. Of course, of course, Gu Ziming is not without trade-offs, he has also mixed a lot of sand in the Wantong Dart Bureau, most of which are the population collected in Guangzhou later, and some of the inconvenience of being old and lacking plasticity are placed on the cabinet and Wantong for training, and then he pulled He Yi and Liu Xianglao in, specifically responsible for the freight and escort at sea, so he also built Wantong, Macau and Shipai have built Wantong's inn.

Su Zhen is now in charge of the guards of the Four Seasons Building, even if he is in this store, he also has some rights to manage things, seeing that Gong and Zhang were really successful, he ordered someone to take some silver taels as a coil according to Gu Ziming's instructions before, so that the two of them hurried back to their hometown to prepare for the good news.

Now that the list has been released, everyone is no longer interested in eating, drinking and enjoying the scenery, several undergraduate candidates have already gone to the Yamen of the Political Secretary, Yuan Chonghuan and others naturally followed, only Wang Xingping did not go to join in the excitement, and went to Gu Ziming to discuss the trip.

…………

In an inconspicuous secret room in the courtyard of the Four Seasons Building, Wang Xingping and Gu Ziming sat separately, with some food and drink on the table, but no outsiders were present.

"I'm going to leave in a few days, I arranged a big ship for you, the owner Huang Cheng is a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, he originally helped us to do things outside Macau, and now he is also a shareholder, and he is reliable in doing things, you can rest assured all the way."

"Outside line?" Wang Xingping became interested.

"A mixed-race Chinese born in Macau, now he is more than half of his own people, that person is also doing things in Wantong, if you have the opportunity to go to Macau in the future, you will naturally be able to see it, and he is also the eyeliner we have planted over there, although the Jesuits are cooperating with us well at the moment, but we must also keep an eye on it, and the ideas of religious believers may not be logical." Gu Ziming smiled bitterly, this year, the Jesuits sent people to Sanya, and Fu Xiaofei was able to take advantage of the benefits brought by the missionaries, and he also complained about how to fight wits and courage with these people in missionary matters.

Wang Xingping mentioned the big ship mentioned by Gu Ziming again, and said with some concern: "I'll just bring a few companions, and some of them will stay in Guangzhou, won't they be too ostentatious, right?" ”

Gu Ziming laughed when he heard this, "Xiaoping, you think it's bad, this ship is naturally transporting goods, you just piggyback, but having said that, there will be no less people going to Beijing this time, this section is eighty-two people, plus the previous sessions, there are hundreds of them, if you are familiar with each other in the middle, you can also be together, then Gong Kexiu and Zhang Zhigui should be on a boat with you." ”

"Then we have to wait another ten days or so before we leave?" Wang Xingping thought about it for a while and understood.

On the second day of Zhang Bang's official middle school, the deer banquet will be held, and the new imperial examination will meet and drink with the examiners of the inner curtain and the outer curtain, which can be regarded as a ceremony to determine the relationship between teachers and students. Therefore, after each township test, the show talent has to wait until after participating in the Luming banquet to return to the hometown to wait for the good news, Gong and Zhang will not be an exception, that is, they will not return to their hometowns until three days later, although Guishan County is not far from Guangzhou, but it will take three or four days to go back and forth, and it is inevitable that the family will have to feast on the ancestors Zhang Luo, and ten days is definitely wanted. As for whether Gong and Zhang will go to Beijing, it is almost certain, after all, it is much more difficult to take the examination than the Jinshi in terms of the pass rate alone, and the Jinshi is close to one out of ten, and the lifting people have passed, there is no reason not to try their luck in Beijing, it seems that the departure in early September is certain.

Gu Ziming continued to instruct: "It should be so, if there are any other arrangements here, you better hurry up, I don't know how long it will take to meet next time after going north this time, I will have someone here to go with you, but he doesn't know your identity, and he only went to Nanzhili, so this time the boat will not go to the capital when it arrives in Ningbo Mansion, and the rest of the way will take the canal." ”

Wang Xingping was stunned when he heard this, "What? Don't just go to Tianjin to land? ”

Gu Ziming chuckled lightly and asked meaningfully, "It seems that Xiaoping, you have had a good time these days, haven't you read the Di newspaper?" ”

Did he know that Wang Xingping accompanied a few Confucian students to the painting boat in Baietan, and there were all kinds of projects on it.

"It's true, isn't there anything wrong with the newspaper?" Wang Xingping didn't notice Gu Ziming's eyes and said with a smile.

"Liao affairs are tight, the household department to the matter of the lieutenant should be shocked to ask for the reopening of the Liaoning sea, the cabinet has been approved, Dengzhou is now looking around for merchant ships to transport grain to Liaodong, now we are willing to go north to Tianjin, the owner of the yellow ship may not dare, this ship sailed into the Bohai Sea is the sheep into the tiger's mouth. His ship went directly to Japan after being prepared in Dinghai, Ningbo, and the copper material that the Senate wanted this year could still count on these merchant ships. ”

After eating the sweetness last year, Guangzhou Station also felt a great responsibility, so it began to send merchant ships directly to Japan through Wantong, although under the guise of raw silk trade, in fact, the main purpose was to buy copper, copper material will not be transported back to Guangzhou, but in Liu Xianglao's old nest stone row unloading, and then in the local exchange for other goods into the Pearl River to fill the number. Counting Huang Cheng's ship is also the last one this year, and then the hyacinth will change this sea route to Japan will not be easy to go, so this time I will choose to only go to Ningbo, not all because of the things in Liaodong, and Gu Ziming himself also has the idea of letting Wang Xingping inspect the situation along the canal, after all, inland shipping is the mainstream today, and the first place in the world to go is Linqingzhou on the Grand Canal, not Guangzhou City on the coast of the South China Sea.

Ten days later, the sound of drums hanging high on the color gate on the wharf was the Confucian students of the Xiangshan Poetry Society who were seeing off the people of Jinke.

Wang Xingping naturally rejected Tian Shengjin's invitation and got on Huang Cheng's big ship because of Gu Ziming's arrangement, in addition to Wang Xingping, Gong and Zhang, there were also Yuan Chonghuan, Chen Zizhuang, and He Wuyu who were invited by Wang Xingping, but Yuan Chonghuan's fellow countryman Yin Mingyi failed to win, which made him a little regretful.
