The Red Flower Society has occupied Funing Mansion for more than two months, and in these two months, the people of Funing have felt a completely different atmosphere from before, whether it is the parent official at the level of the county order, or the small officials who are only in charge of tax collection, they are much kinder than the officials of my Qing Dynasty, and all the gangsters in the market have been put in prison, and the atmosphere in the market is new, and there are families who are bold enough to join the Red Flower Society, and the family is quickly improved; Even those ordinary people, without the pressure of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, have won a rare opportunity to breathe.

Now that the situation has stabilized, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not been attacked again for a long time after the defeat of the soldiers and horses, some unwilling scholars have begun to move around frequently, and on this day, in the city of Funing Mansion, in a dilapidated mansion, several people dressed as scholars sat in the middle of the pavilion, drinking bitter and inferior tea, and whispering something.

"Brother Lin, I'm afraid this safflower will not be extinguished in a short time! I don't think the guards at the gate of this city are strict, Lu Xiucai and Chang Xiucai secretly ran out to Fuzhou to join relatives and friends, why don't you leave, Brother Lin? A thin scholar with patches on his long shirt asked, if Lin Xiucai wanted to leave, he would have to ask him to bring himself, so that his daily expenses in Fuzhou would be settled.

"My family has been in decline for a long time, and those relationships in Fuzhou have long been broken!" , Lin Xiucai replied generously, not shying away from his embarrassment, "Now I have nothing but this house, I still have a way to live here, and I am afraid that I can only ask for food when I go to Fuzhou!" It's not that I don't want to go, but I really can't go! If Brother Jiang wants to go to Fuzhou, I can still make up a few taels of silver to give Brother Jiang as travel expenses, it is not easy to go out, so Brother Jiang should not refuse. Lin Xiucai's delicate heart had already heard what he meant.

Jiang Xiucai's face turned red and he hurriedly waved his hand. "Little brother doesn't mean this, Brother Lin is so talented that he can't find a livelihood in Fuzhou, so I don't have to go!" The others also nodded, presumably because they were related to Jiang Xiucai. There was silence again.

After drinking a pot of tea, someone finally couldn't help but speak, and a child surnamed Lao said tentatively, "I don't think this Red Flower Club looks like it can be done, maybe the imperial army will be able to fight back in a few days!" ”

"Why did Brother Lao say this?" , Jiang Xiucai immediately pretended not to know and asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" , Lao Tongsheng immediately came to the spirit, dancing and explaining. "Since ancient times, all people have risen up, and talents have been the first priority! After this safflower will occupy Funing, Mo said that he came to visit the virtuous talents, and he didn't even have a letter of recruitment, which looked like he was going to succeed! Speaking of this labor boy was angry, at the beginning of the Red Flower Society's entry into the city, he still thought that the big leader of this gang of thieves would come to the door with gold, silver and jewelry to invite him out of the mountain, and he was ready to throw the gold and silver out of the door to reprimand the thief chief loudly, but let alone the big boss, not even a pawn!

"Brother Lao, I'm afraid he has moved his mind to work for the Red Flower Society, right?" Lin Xiucai's eyes were sharp, and he didn't wait for him to refute and then said, "There is smoke everywhere right now. This safflower will be said to be innocent of the people, and I think their daily actions are quite orderly, maybe they may be able to succeed! ”

"I have been in the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, and now it is an iron-clad country, how can it be so easy to fall?" , all of you here are people who know the roots, and there are many fewer scruples when you speak.

"That's not necessarily, haven't you heard the ballad that has been circulating everywhere this year? Han is not a man, full of dissatisfaction. How could the ancient moon shine for a hundred years, doesn't this say?" The next words were too dangerous, and he didn't dare to finish them after all.

"Zi is silent, strange and confused. This nursery rhyme proverb is too vague to be true! Scholars are always reluctant to talk about this kind of godly chatter, but this person's words changed the topic to another direction, "I heard that this Lord Yan is a serious Jinshi, why did he do such a rebellious thing!" ”

"He was less than 20 years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi last year!" , Everyone sighed for a while, the youngest of them was in his twenties, and the oldest were in their early forties, and they didn't even have a reputation for lifting people.

"I think that Lord Yan is also a scholar, why is he ignoring us people now?" , finally someone said the topic that these people are most concerned about, "I heard that Shandong has begun to recruit talents, and Lord Yan will not even be as good as a farmer, right?" The crowd complained for a while, as if they were unhappy that they were being slighted.

"Do you dare to go?" , Lin Xiucai sneered, "Disobedience is a big crime to kill the head, it doesn't matter if you don't pity your life, don't burden the fathers, sons and nephews in the clan!" ”

"I'm afraid of who's coming!" , Lao Tongsheng's single-minded anger came out, "Those people in my clan have taken care of my life and death, and now if the Red Flower Society comes to the door, I will sell this life to them!" Not to mention that it's good to have a few full meals!

Lao Tongsheng's words quickly tore apart everyone's cover-up, and one by one they discussed how to scold Fang Xuan and point out the country after joining the Red Flower Society, "Funing is close to Zhejiang, and you only need to go straight to the Grand Canal to cut off the Cao Yun, and you can sit back and wait for the imperial court to defeat itself." ”

"It's not proper, there are many soldiers and horses in Zhejiang, and there are fewer people who go, but it's just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!" , Jiang Xiucai shook the folding fan lightly, fluttering like Zhuge reincarnated, "In my opinion, it is better to enter Jiangxi in the west, the land in Jiangxi is barren, and the people live in difficulty, so you can quickly pull out a team!" Then go north to Anhui and go east to Jinling, and you can divide the country with the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”

"Since we know that there is little land in Jiangxi, where will the food for this march come from!" , Someone immediately retorted, and a group of people fought together, all of them looked more professional than Chen Jialuo.

"Young master, someone outside sent Master Yan's papers!" , An old servant walked in breathlessly, handed a document to Lin Xiucai, and retreated with staggering steps.

"Brother Lin, take a look at what is written?" , everyone's eyes were hot for a while, and they secretly muttered in their hearts, isn't it really a recruitment order?

Lin Xiucai swept the paperwork at a glance and handed it to Jiang Xiucai, "The Red Flower Society is about to open the imperial examination!" But what does this mean by the things to be tested? Xiaosheng is a little incomprehensible! ”

"It's nothing more than four books and five classics, who have I been afraid of than these?" , Jiang Xiucai took the paperwork with a smile, now that the big families have gone to Fuzhou, he is still confident that he really wants to take the Four Books and Five Classics, but he was stunned after a few glances, "What does this administrative ability test mean?" What does it mean to deuteronocate? (To be continued)
