In the Mingxiang Teahouse, Hou Xuanyan ordered a pot of good hair tips, and the scholar opposite smiled and said: "Good fragrance, this must be the hair tip before the rain in Ganzhou, one leaf and two tips, the color is fresh and clean, the aroma is elegant, fresh, good tea!" ”

Hou Xuanyan didn't have much research on tea and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Although the scholar's face was silent, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and this tone was like a superior asking a subordinate, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Hou Xuanyan is used to this way of speaking, and he can't change it for a while, and there is no need to change it. Speaking of which, except for the girl in his arms, everyone in the world is indeed his subordinate.

"When you meet, don't ask your name and surname, and gather bosom friends with a cup of tea. When I walk out of this door, my brother and I may not see each other again, so I won't add to it. The scholar drank tea contentedly, although he was arrogant, but he was not willing to leave this fine tea, he could not afford to drink it himself.

Hou Xuanyan smiled dumbly, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason, and said with a smile: "You don't want to say it, but I want to say my name, listen up, my name is Hou Xuanyan, a native of Jiading, Songjiang Mansion." ”

With a crisp sound, the teacup in the scholar's hand fell to the ground, and his face froze.

"The more ... Yue Wangye? The grass people meet the prince. ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Now you can tell me your name?" ”

The scholar was a little embarrassed, and sneered: "The prince is willing to ask, it is already the honor of the grass people, Xiao Ke's surname is Yao Qisheng, and he is a member of Zhejiang Huiji." ”

Hou Xuanyan thought about it for a while, and only had a slight impression of him, but he couldn't remember who it was. The longer you come to this dynasty, the more you will forget the past, and only those historical trends can still be remembered clearly.

In fact, Yao Qisheng is a very mixed person, he likes to fight unevenly, when he was in his twenties and traveled to Tongzhou, he was insulted by local tyrants. Yao Qisheng lobbied the Qing army, claiming that he was willing to use his family wealth to fill the army, deceived a Tongzhou governor, and killed the local tyrant first after taking office, and then abandoned the official and fled, and came to a white wolf with empty gloves.

After resigning, he leisurely played in Xiaoshan, saw two Qing soldiers insulting the girl, stepped forward and pretended to persuade him, seized the saber and killed the soldier, rescued the woman and returned her home.

Later, through the imperial examination, he became the magistrate of Xiangshan, Guangdong, and his problem was committed again, ignoring Kang Mazi's lockdown order, opening the sea ban without authorization, and taking everyone to make a fortune, and was sentenced by Kang Mazi to "open the sea ban without authorization, fornication with Aoyi" and was dismissed and sentenced to death. Later, he met the amnesty and made a living doing business in Guangdong. Later, he was unwilling to be lonely, so he mixed up with a high-ranking official, and took Shi Lang to defeat Taiwan. The Zheng family has never been a good thing, and the world thinks that they are the lonely ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the loyal ministers and good generals. As everyone knows, their descendants have repeatedly surrendered to the table, wanting to become vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, and separate from China like Japan and Korea.

It's okay to really divide it out to resist the Qing Dynasty, they still want to be a subordinate of the Qing Dynasty, it's a bit disgusting. The blood of the pirates has not been washed for generations.

Yao Qisheng not only went in and out of officialdom several times, but also got into the wind and water, and it was also very interesting to marry a daughter-in-law. He once saw a girl surnamed He, holding up a stone mortar with her bare hands with her sleeves rolled, and her jaw dropped in shock. At that time, the stone mortar was not used to pound garlic in the hand, but was used for grinding rice in a large way. One is about the weight of a grinding disc... Yao Qisheng was shocked when he saw it, and immediately came to the door to propose marriage, married and became his wife.

Hou Xuanyan saw that he was also brave and resourceful in saving people this time, so he cherished his talents. Now the imperial court is too short of people, a Manraka governor, he left his love for Wu Yi overseas, that is a dynasty, how can he stay in the South China Sea for a long time, away from the wealth and prosperity of the Jiangnan Division. Japan, Taiwan, and Jingbei all need talents who are in charge of their own affairs.

Generally, Yao Qisheng is a very mixed person, who is often arrogant and arrogant, and he must have merit enough to shock him and make him reverent. Hou Xuanyan is undoubtedly such a person, he made such a world-famous feat at a young age, and he could never find such a great achievement for the Han people in all his history. The young people of this era, who have never heard of the bloody battles of the Northern Expedition that make people's blood boil.

It is now the second year of Jing You, 1649, and Hou Xuanyan is worthy of the prestige of a person three hundred years later in history.

Hou Xuanyan got straight to the point and asked: "I think you are not bad in this life, and I intend to promote you to be an official, are you willing?" ”

Yao Qisheng pondered for a moment, embarrassed, he had already seen the infinite potential of doing business after the opening of the sea, this is an era that is destined to produce many legendary and wealthy people, but at the same time, he really wants to follow the people he admires and make achievements.

Hou Xuanyan saw that he hesitated, and said softly: "Yao Qisheng, what do you think is an official?" ”

Yao Qisheng was cautious in his words and deeds, and after a while he said: "For the well-being of the people, for the sake of eliminating evils for the court, it is the official who does these two things." ”

"You have chivalrous spirit, so you can fight unevenly, do you feel a little happy after success?"

"Yes."

"You are proud of yourself, but you are just helping one person and one family, but being an official can help thousands of people. What a pleasure it is to be admired and praised by others! After Hou Xuanyan finished speaking, Yao Qisheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

Hou Xuanyan laughed secretly and said: "Now Manraka has just been ambushed by me, and the governor's yamen has been set up, and Wu Yi, the prince of the central government, is personally in charge. I now appoint you as the general of Wupin Wude, go to Songjiang to follow the sailor to Manraka, and study hard with Wu Yi. In the future, if you have merit, you will be transferred back to Jingshi. ”

Ordinary people must be extremely reluctant to hear that they are sent to the corner of the South China Sea, but Yao Qisheng is an exception. He naturally likes challenges, not blandness, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed that he could go to sea to such a distant place.

"The lower officials have received the grace of the prince, and they must be loyal and wise to repay the prince."

The two of them have been talking for a long time, and Jing You is unhappy in Hou Xuanyan's arms, there is not much difference between this early dynasty, and it is very different from the excitement just now.

A milky child's voice came: "Imperial Father, I want to go out to play." ”

Hou Xuanyan was crowned regent of the emperor's father, which was a matter of the early dynasty today, and outsiders did not know about it.

When Yao Qisheng heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and Hou Xuanyan explained: "This is Your Majesty, and the dynasty has announced this morning that I will be the regent of the imperial father. ”

Yao Qisheng's face was calm, he didn't see any waves, but his heart was already like a mirror. He stood up and saluted the little emperor, Jing Yu was most annoyed by this set, and said with a very impatient face: "Flat." ”

After speaking, he turned around, raised his little face, and pouted: "I want to go out to play, I want to go out to play!" ”

Hou Xuanyan was startled, slapped her little ass lightly, and said, "If you go out of the palace, you will talk about me, and if you say something wrong, I won't take you out." ”

When Xiao Jingyou heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, I know..... I'm going to hang out. ”

Hou Xuanyan said to the stunned Yao Qisheng: "Okay, you go to the military department early tomorrow morning, and after I go back, I will explain to the military department that you can go to Songjiang after you get the official body." ”

Yao Qisheng got up and left, Hou Xuanyan looked downstairs, sighed, and continued to parade the street with the restless little emperor in his arms.

Whenever the times change, there is a shortage of available talents, and the wisdom of opening up the people is imminent. Fortunately, the literacy class has been launched in Jinling, and those scholars who have read the Four Books and the Five Classics for half their lives can be regarded as having a way to make a living.
