Liu Daxia glared at Jiang Li's only eye, and then waved his hand: "Shen Xi, you go on." ”

At this juncture, Shen Xi did not choose to avoid the important and light, he was forced by Jiang Liwei to meet those people with his true identity, no matter whether Liu Daxia attacked these people or not, he and the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce would be in danger, it was really better to completely go down the road now.

Shen Xi said: "Students think that where there are thieves, there are people who sell stolen goods, thieves hide deeply, and people who sell stolen goods are cunning, neither of which can be obtained, so you might as well intercept the way to contact them." ”

Liu Daxia squinted, obviously thinking about Shen Xi's words.

“…… The thief must take out the stolen goods, and the stolen goods must not remain with him for a long time. Once the market is cut off, the thieves are in civil strife, so they can take advantage of it. ”

Jiang Liwei sneered when he heard this: "Shen Gongzi said easily, there are many ways for thieves to sell stolen goods, how can it be broken?" ”

"Shut up!"

Liu Daxia interrupted Jiang Liwei with his words, with Jiang Liwei's wisdom, he didn't understand Shen Xi's deep meaning at all, but Liu Daxia could hear a rough idea.

Do not arrest thieves, nor arrest those responsible for selling stolen goods, but only those who help them transit. Grain is always a bulk commodity, thieves want to transport the grain out for cash, someone must transport it to them, this year the grain transport has ten ** waterway, because the cost of land is too huge.

In Jiang Liwei's plan to "lure the snake out of the hole", the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce appeared as a stolen goods seller, and the mastermind behind the thief appeared. But this is obviously unlikely, there are too many ways to sell stolen goods for those who steal official food, and An Rusheng and Song Xi'er and others are just small characters in it.

The grain always has to go through the warehouse, and as long as the storage and transportation channels in various places are cut off, the thieves will definitely have to find someone who can transport the goods for them.

Jiang Liwei's idea, even if a road is blocked for thieves to sell stolen goods, thieves still have multiple channels to sell stolen goods, and they can't cure the root cause, but he ignores one point, even if he can't cut off the transportation road of thieves, as long as he keeps harassing them, thieves will naturally seek a more stable and safe way to ship.

Shen Xi wanted to win the privilege of transporting grain for the imperial court for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce from Liu Daxia. Because the imperial grain ship does not need too much inspection to pass the customs, and the ship cannot be accurately weighed, the thieves will take the initiative to find the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce and mix the stolen official grain with the regular official grain to transport it to the destination.

And so it goes. The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce will become a "partner" in the thieves' grain transportation, and it will be easier to trace the leaders behind the thieves.

Liu Daxia is the successor of the military department of the Hongzhi Emperor, and has the responsibility of raising military salaries for the military department. In addition, he holds the titles of the left deputy capital and the imperial history of the capital that impeached the hundred officials, and his actual power may be greater than that of the household department Shangshu Zhoujing.

Liu Daxia thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Gu Yu, in the next few days, you will lead someone to clear out the hiding places of the thieves that you have found, and there must be no fish that slip through the net." ”

Jiang Liwei seemed a little unwilling, he didn't think Shen Xi's plan was good, but for some reason, Liu Daxia actually chose to listen to Shen Xi's opinion, and unconsciously he changed from a decision-maker to an errand runner.

"Yes."

Liu Daxia said again: "The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has entered Beijing. The mountains and rivers are far away, and the whip is out of reach for a while, so I think it is enough to find people and boats near the capital and enter the Chamber of Commerce. In a word, it is equivalent to letting the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce directly integrate Zhou Fatzi's industry, obtain ships, manpower and shops, and pave the way for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to enter the capital, "From next month, the imperial court will need to requisition civilian ships to transport military rations......"

Liu Daxia didn't say it too bluntly, in fact, he called the requisition of civilian ships. It's to find some shipping companies to help transport grain. After all, it is impossible for the imperial court to support a large number of cargo ships for the transportation of grain, and once the government has official grain transportation, most of them will be requisitioned from the private sector and outsourced.

"Shen Xi. Now is the time for you to do learning, and having distractions is a taboo for learning. Liu Daxia finally reminded.

Shen Xi saluted gratefully: "Students remember. ”

Liu Daxia nodded to Shen Xi with satisfaction, then got up and left with his entourage. Shen Xi and Jiang Li were the only ones to go out together, and seeing Liu Daxia's sedan chair go away, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

For Jiang Liwei, Liu Daxia put too much pressure on him. If he wants to continue to stay by Liu Daxia's side and do things, he must have merit, which makes him extremely radical.

"Shen Gongzi, do you really have the ability to propose public weapons for private use in front of Lord Shilang, and you want to use this case to make profits for the Chamber of Commerce?" Jiang Liwei regained his arrogant tone and asked questions.

At this time, Yu Niang walked over, she didn't know what was going on inside, but she noticed that Jiang Liwei's face was not very good-looking.

Shen Xi said: "I just said some foolish opinions under the question of Liu Shilang, and I also do things for the imperial court, how can I say that the public weapon is used for private purposes?" I don't know what is the intention of Lord Jiang to ask the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to help? ”

"Well, what's the good of a war of tongues? Liu Shilang asked him to go back to study more in the next place, and said goodbye in the next room. ”

Jiang Liwei was extremely angry, but Liu Daxia already had an order, he didn't dare to disobey it openly, and with Yu Niang and his subordinates on his side, he could only choose to forbear.

Jiang Liwei ordered someone to send Shen Xi back, and when the carriage that sent Shen Xi was far away, Yu Niang asked, "I don't know what Lord Liu ordered before, but do you need the help of the slave family?" ”

Jiang Liwei glanced at Yu Niang. Yu Niang didn't stand on the same position with him before, and she helped Shen Xi speak, which made him a little annoyed. However, according to Liu Daxia's instructions, the next step is to clear some of the strongholds in the city that secretly store stolen official grain, involving the government and local yamen, and must be assisted by Yu Niang.

Jiang Liwei said: "Lord Shilang ordered, in the next few days, the troops will be transferred to level the thieves, and Yu Niang has to do everything to ......."

Yu Niang's mind is wise, and she understands a rough idea when she hears it.

Jiang Liwei summarized Liu Daxia's instructions as "transferring troops to level the thieves", so needless to say, his previous plan to "lure the snake out of the hole" was naturally invalidated?

Yu Niang smiled lightly: "Lord Jiang is a Shangguan, how dare the slave family disobey?" The implication is that everything has to be done on business.

……

……

After Shen Xi went back, Wuzi was very happy.

Fortunately, he rejected Jiang Liwei in one go, otherwise it would be a question mark whether he could come back alive when he went to meet with those who resold official food that night.

This Jiang Oak is only meritorious, not a fuel-efficient lamp!

As for whether he can help the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce win the privilege of transporting grain for the imperial court for a long time, Shen Xi doesn't care too much, but if the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce makes contributions in this case, Liu Daxia takes over the military department three years later, and completes the handover of the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce still has a great chance to develop and grow in the north.

The seventeenth day of the first month is the first day of enrollment in Taixue. Early in the morning, Shen Xi left home to go to Taixue and get the results of the entrance examination.

More than 50 new students are ranked in three grades. Shen Xi thought that he had written a good essay on the entrance exam. But in the final ranking, he only won a second class, and there were more than 20 candidates tied with him, which belonged to the decent results, while Yan Weizhong's name was high and listed in the first class.

Shen Xi didn't know what the criteria for this ranking were. But since it doesn't affect admission and taking the entrance examination, he doesn't care too much.

Because he handed over the identity information such as affidavit and household registration to Taixue in advance, Shen Xi came to familiarize himself with his learning environment for a period of time in the future.

Taixue is a very special existence in the Guozijian.

Guozijian has three or four thousand students, while Taixue has only about a hundred students. Tai students have a great chance of being admitted to the Jinshi, even if they fail to pass the test repeatedly, they can basically become the teachers of the government and county schools, or become a famous Confucian, and then the imperial court will also get special preferential treatment when selecting scholars.

After Shen Xi arrived at Taixue, he went to his school to have a look. That is, the dormitory arranged by the school during the study of Taixue. Because students, whether they are local to the capital or not, need to live on campus, there will be a day or two of rest every ten days, and when they encounter imperial examinations such as the Shuntianfu Academy Examination, the Township Examination or the Hui Examination, the Guozijian will be used as the examination room, and the students will take a few days off.

Enrollment on the 17th day of the first month will be closed at the end of the first month, because the entrance examination will be held in February.

For Guozijian students, it may be necessary to familiarize themselves with the environment and figure out the subjects they will study next. But for Tai students, the first ten days of school are basically self-study, because all Tai students have to take the February Rite Department Examination, so they have to study by themselves. I can't learn anything.

Shen Xi didn't think that he would experience the student days of living on campus again, even if the students belonged to a special group in the Guozijian, there would be no special treatment in terms of accommodation conditions, and in the same school house, there were four or five people living in a larger room. Smaller room for two or three people.

Bedrooms are generally airy, with windows facing each other.

There are several beds in the room, and each bed will be prepared with a blanket, and you will need to bring your own sheets and bedding. There is also a desk, chair, and stool near the window, and there is a wooden shelf at the door, on which several wooden basins are placed, and specific toiletries need to be prepared by yourself.

Of course, in this era, there will be no bunk beds, not even cabinets and candlesticks, all tung oil lamps, and the first day of coming will tell the candidates how many taels of tung oil they have every month. Candidates with good conditions may bring their own, after all, reading at night also needs to be done within their means.

Shen Xi's luck was good, he was assigned to a two-person room, but the room was a little narrow, Shen Xi's visual size was only ten square meters, except for two beds, desks, and benches, there was not much room left.

Unhurriedly put the bedding, books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone away, Shen Xi glanced at it, felt satisfied, and was about to go outside for a walk, but saw a tall young man walking in, followed by several domestic servants with luggage.

As soon as the man entered the door, he saw Shen Xi's youthful appearance, thought that he had gone to the wrong door, and went back outside to look up at the number plate of the school building on the door again, and then walked in, looked at Shen Xi in amazement, and asked, "Your Excellency...... Also too student? ”

"Exactly." Shen Xi saluted, "Fujian Ninghua Shenxi." ”

This person obviously hadn't heard of Shen Xi's name, and nodded: "Sun Heng in Xia Shun Tianfu, the word Xiliang, I have seen Brother Shen...... Shen Gongzi. ”

He originally wanted to call Shen Xi "Brother Tai", but seeing that Shen Xi was so old, he couldn't call him a brother, so he simply called Shen Xi "Son".

Sun Xiliang is a disciple of the capital, and he asked the servants to pack up all the things, he looked a little worried, and he knew that it would be good to bring more things over.

How do you fall asleep at night when it's so basic?

Shen Xi looked at Sun Xiliang's dress, obviously a rich son, who was a student, that is, a person who gained fame, and Sun Xiliang was only in his early twenties. In these years, the son-in-law with a good family background has never heard of anyone who has not yet married when he is twenty years old, and most of the families are full of wives and concubines.

How could such a person who sleeps on a high bed and warm pillow at home with his daughter-in-law and concubine in his arms get used to living in such a place?

In the morning, things were settled, and in the afternoon it was free time, and Shen Xi and Sun Xiliang had to go home. In the prison, the students' residences cannot be locked, and if you really want to go home, it is best to carry valuables with you.

In Guozi Prison, eating is to eat in a big pot, and you can't open a small stove.

The paper used for learning will be allocated by the imperial court, and the amount of paper issued per person per month is fixed, as for other uses, they can only go out to buy it when they are resting, and many prison students from other places live directly in the school, and will not have a small home in the capital like Shen Xi.

Shen Xi returned home, because from that night, he would not be able to come back for about ten days, and Lin Dai was still a little resentful.

Shen Xi pouted: "Seeing that you are about to try, do you want to be so anxious?" ”

Hearing "will try", Lin Dai's pretty face suddenly turned red, because Shen Xi promised that she would have a round room with her after the test list was released, and she was pinching her fingers these days.

"My mother said, after we get to the capital, hurry up and write a letter home, have you written it?" Lin Dai looked at Shen Xi timidly, as if she wanted Shen Xi to hurriedly tell her in a letter to her that she was going to marry her.

Shen Xi nodded and said, "I already wrote it a year ago." ”

Hearing that Shen Xi had written a letter home years ago, Lin Dai was slightly disappointed, which meant that Shen Xi may not have mentioned anything closer to her. Shen Xi smiled and comforted: "What, I'm worried that my mother won't agree?" Actually, if it's not in the way, we can cut it first and then play it. ”

Zhu Shan came over with a blushing face, and asked curiously, "Young Master, Miss, what is the first cut and then the prelude?" ”

Lin Dai blinked and looked at Shen Xi, she didn't understand it herself.

Shen Xi smiled and shook his head: "I don't understand this? Of course, it's a round house first, and then a marriage ......"

Lin Dai's face, which had already eased up, suddenly turned red again.
