[Today's son's full moon writes more, ask for votes]

The autumn wind gusted, urging the sailboat all the way to the north, the sun on the sea was not blocked, and Wang Xingping was a little dizzy early in the morning, but the sea breeze made him feel comfortable. Although the space on this ship was cramped, he liked the feeling of freedom more than dealing with people on land, and everything was less restrained under power.

Ten days ago, the scholars set up a banquet to see off the people, so it was not lively, Wang Xingping also at the farewell banquet with a sentence "The world is full of events, and the years are not over." He won a lot of applause, and now I think about the day when I think about it, the picture is still in front of me, but the noisy drum music has been replaced by the noise in my ears.

'Childe looks to the east, and after this mountain island is Zhejiang. ’

In fact, it is too late to go to sea at this time, that is, this year's leap, fortunately, it is only to Zhejiang, and it is difficult to say if you go north. ’

Fujian is very panicked, to say that in the early years, when the city of Quanzhou and Ningbo was not abolished, Quanzhou Port was not as good as Ningbo Port, and Fujian was still not as rich as Zhejiang after all. ’

…………

The person who kept talking in Wang Xingping's ear was named Shen Ergou, who was the family of Shen Guangzuo, the new political envoy of Guangdong, that Shen Guangzuo only rushed to Guangzhou in early September to take office, he and the new governor of Guangdong, Xu Honggang, were fellow villagers in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and Shen Guangzuo inadvertently mentioned at the reception banquet that he wanted his family to go back to his hometown in Qiantang County to report safety, Xu Honggang somehow suddenly remembered the people who were about to go to Beijing, and just took a free ride, which is also a casual remark, and he couldn't use the post office for such a trivial matter, and some people rushed to help.

As a result, after asking, I learned that several people were on ships with ten thousand passes, and the one who rented the boat was Wang Xingping. After all, it was Tian Shengjin and Wang Mingxuan's recommendation, Wang Zhongde's nephew, and he also received other people's money, and I heard that this person was still a student of Zhang Rulin in Shanyin, and he was no longer seen outside the Zhejiang Party, so this annoying Shen Ergou followed the boat.

However, although this Shen Ergou is noisy, he is right, the wealth of Zhejiang and Nanzhili is indeed not comparable to other places, just take this Liaoyu as an example, just before departure, the latest announcement of the share of Liaoyu in each province, Guangdong Province and eleven provinces together are less than 90,000 taels, while Zhejiang and Nanzhili are collected according to the government, Nanjing Yingtianfu is more than 24,000 taels, Suzhou is sent to more than 33,000 taels, which is hundreds of taels higher than the addition of Guangxi Province. But the problem also arises, this Liao's salary is calculated according to the agricultural tax, otherwise Baoding and Hejian should not be higher than Nanjing in terms of wealth alone.

It seems that there are indeed some problems with the fiscal and taxation system of the Ming Dynasty, and the final burden is all passed on to the peasants, rather than the tax supervision and commercial tax as everyone thought before. It seems that it is really unknown where the old man in the court sits on the buttocks, but if this continues, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be shaken. However, thinking about it, Wang Xingping is very open-minded, after all, it will not be Guizhou's turn to add this faction, and his industry in Guizhou, whether it is Tuntian or a business, will not be affected in the slightest.

Wang Xingping couldn't say how much he hated this Shen Ergou, but the good sea view and noise were not beautiful after all, so he began to look around after a few perfunctory words, and at this moment, a voice with a Hokkien accent sounded in his ears, "Childe, wash your face." ”

It was not Xiao Liu who spoke, but a young man with a face, seeing that he was about the same age as Wang Xingping, and his appearance was quite handsome, his eyes were lively and he saw Wang Xingping turn his head and seemed to be busy letting another young man behind him bring water, Shen Ergou saw outsiders and went to find others to talk to others.

Wang Xingping said while taking the handkerchief, "Don't worry so much, just go and rest when you have nothing to do." ”

It's not that he thinks the other party is not good at serving him, but he thinks that this water is a little wasteful, although this ship is a coastal voyage without lack of supplies, but the water at sea is expensive, and their way of doing this will inevitably make other sailors strange and annoying.

The young man didn't look worried, he looked complacent that he had just sent the trouble for Wang Xingping, "Uncle said that the son is a distinguished guest of the proprietor Gu, and he must protect him along the way." ”

The young man behind him was not very good at words, but he also echoed loudly, "Yes, that's what my uncle ordered. ”

Wang Xingping handed back the handkerchief and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yiguan, you and I are about the same size, I am only slightly longer, I can't do this, your uncle is now doing a big deal, as long as you follow him well, you will definitely be able to have a background, but you still have to rely on yourself in everything, there are a lot of things you can learn in this sea trade, but don't spend your mind on serving people." ”

The young man who was called as an official was thoughtful, but immediately replied: "Our brothers can save the affairs on this ship, and serving the good son is also under the orders of the uncle. I think this sea voyage is almost like a march, and there is nothing wrong with doing what is told. ”

Wang Xingping shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, this young man is smart and clever, he has only been on the ship for a few days, and everything on this ship is already familiar, but this speculative franchise is a little heavier, I am afraid it is also eager to make progress, but it is not wrong to be self-motivated, not to mention that he is only a fourteen-year-old child.

These two teenagers are brothers of the same mother, both are the sons of Huang Cheng's sister, and they both lived with their sisters in Nan'an's hometown before. Huang Cheng originally planned to wait a few more years to take them to Macau, but in the recent year, he suddenly handed over the business smoothly, so when he went north to stop at Quanzhou for supplies, he suddenly moved in his heart to pick up the two nephews, and when he returned from Japan, he was ready to send the two to Wantong to learn some crafts, and there was also a hostage meaning, so that Gu Ziming could rest assured, after all, this business of going to the sea often cost tens of thousands of taels, and it was normal to be suspicious at the starting point, and he could still count on Gu Dongzhu to reuse it.

Wang Xingping didn't ask in detail, he only knew that the eldest brother was only two years younger than the eldest brother, Huang Cheng called him Ah Hu on weekdays, and it was said that there was a little brother in the family who was only four years old and did not come with him this time. This eldest brother seems to be very smart, but the younger brother is obedient to his brother's words, and he has a bit of brute strength at a young age. A child of this age is what the Senate likes, and I am afraid that both of them will be vigorously cultivated by Gu Ziming in the future, but this matter has nothing to do with him, so it is just a casual mention of the other party's respectful attitude towards him.

After sending the two of them away, Wang Xingping walked towards the side of the ship, where there were a few Confucian scholars who had just left the cabin, and he smiled at a young man in a green shirt, "Brother Meng Liang still didn't sleep well last night?" Why doesn't your face look too good? ”

The young man in the green shirt returned the salute and sighed again, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

This person's name is Liu Dalin, Meng Liang is his cousin, he is the son of Qiongzhou Mansion, and he is a temporary ship before the big ship is released to the sea.

This Liu Dalin and Chen Zizhuang were both in the 43rd year of Wanli Guangdong Township Examination, which was the same year, so when Chen Zizhuang asked Wang Xingping to bring one more person, Wang Xingping agreed. And when he learned that this Liu Xiaolian was actually from Lingao County on Hainan Island, Gu Ziming asked Wang Xingping to make more friends with this person.

Naturally, he has already seen the map, Lingao County is in the north of Hainan Island, the location is quite good, the information of the Senate also said that in 1950, the People's Liberation Army crossed the sea to liberate Hainan was the first to land there, it is rare that the people of Qiongzhou want to go to Beijing with him, and it is good to make friends, and it is impossible to say that Fu Xiaofei will infiltrate northern Qiongbei next year.

Chen Zizhuang, who was next to him, stepped forward and said with relief: "Brother Liu is still worried about the situation in Guangxi." ”

Liu Dalin nodded.

Wang Xingping sighed, he was not very familiar with this Liu Juren, and a few days ago, he saw that he was not in a very good mood, so he didn't say much, but he just thought of Gu Ziming's instructions and asked more today, but he didn't expect to be worried about the situation in Guangxi, shouldn't it be Liaodong?

Chen Zizhuang continued to persuade, "Shangsizhou belongs to Nanning Mansion after all, and there is still some distance from Siming Mansion, and Tusi and Jiaoyi have never stopped, and the officials will not let my uncle bear it alone." ”

Wang Xingping listened for a while before he realized that Liu Dalin's father was now serving as the governor of Shangsizhou in Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi, which is a lower state, and the distance from the border is much closer than Nanning. Since the autumn harvest this year, Jiaozhi and the local Tusi of Guangxi have frequently raised up rebellions, and even surrounded the prefecture city of Xizhou, Xiashi, which is separated by a mansion, and there has been no news back until the day of going to sea.

"Drop the mother! Liaodong, Guangxi, when Lao Tzu led the troops in the future, all the barbarians had to be wiped out. Yuan Chonghuan scolded in a slang when he listened to it, and he didn't look like a gentleman.

As soon as he started, the topic was brought to the war in Liaodong, and Wang Xingping also deliberately participated in it, he had both detailed information to support it and the actual battle in Guizhou as evidence, and it was naturally convincing to say it, and the rest of the people talked about it until the young man called Yiguan came to invite everyone into the cabin to eat.

Wang Xingping had eaten some in the morning, and he was not too hungry so he didn't follow, and Shen Ergou saw that Wang Xingping was empty and energetic again, so he immediately came over, and he flattered: "I don't want my son to come from a miasma, but he knows the affairs of Liaodong so clearly, but he is more powerful than my young master Bolong." ”

"Young Master Boron?" Wang Xingping frowned, and said angrily.

Shen Ergou didn't have an eye yet, and continued, "Yes, my young master Bolong is in the Liaodong Army, but I still think Gongzi is more clear. ”

This time, Wang Xingping was slightly interested, "Oh? Isn't your lord from Liangzhejiang? How can there be juniors in the army in Liaodong. ”

"Wang Gongzi doesn't know, Young Master Bolong doesn't like to study since he was a child, only likes military affairs, so when my master was in the military department, he recommended him to be a personal soldier for Uncle Ning Yuan."

"Uncle Ning Yuan?" Wang Xingping thought thoughtfully, "Is that the one who died the year before last?" ”

What he said was naturally the 'King of Liaodong' Li Chengliang.

This time, Shen Ergou was asked, but after thinking about it, he immediately reacted, "It's that one." ”

Wang Xingping smiled when he heard this, "Sure enough, it's still a Yanei." Li Chengliang is the emperor of Liaodong, and it is really safe to be a personal soldier by his side, what do you like to talk about military affairs, if you don't have an elder who is in charge of the military department, how can you do it? So it seems that even if it is in the Liaodong Army, how much can you know about those frontier forts? What's more, Li Chengliang was seventy-five or sixteen when he was still in Liaodong, and after two years, he resigned and lived in the capital.

He didn't think so, but since it was the gossip of Master Shen's family, it didn't hurt to listen to it, so he said, "I don't know what position this young master of your family lives in now?" ”

"Now it's the garrison of Fort Sanyang." Shen Ergou spoke with pride.

Sanyang Fort? As far as Wang Xingping could see, his mind swept around the map of Liaodong that he had seen, which was a military fort in Liaodong on the border between Korea and Houjin, and the location was very important.

Shen Ergou saw that Wang Xingping didn't ask again, and talked to himself again, "Young Master Bolong went to Liaodong in the thirty-third year of Wanli, and his uncle had no heirs in his family, so he inherited the Zongao in the past, and he took the lead in Liaodong's martial arts that year, attacked his uncle's Anshan Baihu, and rose to the garrison in a few years. ”

When Wang Xingping heard that Liaodong's uncle had no heir, he sneered in his heart, thinking that this was most likely a fake title from someone else's family, but no heir should be true, and most of these hundred titles were also bought with money, and the main family did not say that natural outsiders would not have much trouble, not to mention that the Li family endorsed him.

But when I think about it, the Shen family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the famous one with the article will even let his family serve in the army in Liaodong, it seems that he really likes to be a soldier, and he should at least be a military fan in the future.

"Shen Bolong." Wang Xingping read softly, and became a little interested in this young master Bolong.

But Shen Ergou just came to spoil the fun again, and said without hesitation, "Young Master Bolong is the nephew of my master, and his surname is not Shen. However, my aunt went early, and the eldest lady has been at her mother's house with several sons, and Young Master Bolong has followed the master since he was nine years old, and he is really as close as father and son. In addition, since the young master became a garrison, he thought that the name Bolong was too cheesy, so he changed the official name of Wenlong. ”

Wang Xingping's heart jumped when he heard this, and he seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly asked, "Then what is your uncle's name?" ”

"Mao Wei."

"Mao Wenlong?" Wang Xingping sighed when he heard this.

Sun Ergou was stunned, "This is exactly the name of Young Master Bolong." ”

Wang Xingping was thinking of the information about the war in Liaodong that Gu Ziming showed him, and his heart swelled, and then he turned his head to look at the cabin, and just saw Yuan Chonghuan sitting by the door eating.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart, 'It's really fate'.

[Note 1: Regarding the age of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu following their uncle Huang Cheng to do things, the exact time is when Zheng Zhilong went to Macao to join Huang Cheng due to family difficulties when he was 17 years old, and the time should be the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), which is four years ahead of this book according to the plot and the influence of the time-traveler. 】

[Note 2: Liu Dalin's father Liu Zhen includes Baidu Encyclopedia, and many articles record that he is the governor of Sizhou, Guizhou, but the Tongzhi Sizhou of Guizhou has been a prefecture rather than a state since the Yongle period, and only one of the officials of Guizhou Prefecture Liu Zhen is the prefect of Pingyue Prefecture, and it is during the Hongzhi period, so after careful research, it is found that his father Liu Zhen recorded in the original documents is actually the governor of Shangsizhou, and Shangsizhou is in Guangxi, so it must be taken for granted by the person who cited the literature at the beginning]

[Note 3: Regarding Mao Wenlong's impersonation to replace the hereditary position, the ancestral home of the Mao family is in Shanxi, and his grandfather Mao Yushan operated official salt in Shanxi, and later moved his family to Hangzhou due to business needs, his father Mao Wei abandoned business and followed Confucianism, and the eunuch was also in Hangzhou, and Mao Wenlong was the eldest of the four brothers, and he should not be the eldest brother. Combined with several theories of his military experience, this book adopts the statement that he was first recommended by his uncle as Li Chengliang's personal soldier, and then became an officer by impersonating his nephew to replace Mao Dechun, who had no heir in Anshan Post and had no heirs.
