"Finally, I can go back to Gao Ping and sit in the boat. Sun Dan sighed at the good friend, suddenly slipped, and there was a trace of nostalgia.

By the end of July of the 15th year of Zhengde, it has been more than a month since the end of the current Shandong Academy Examination, and the identities of Sun Dan and a group of scholars who have gained fame have finally been confirmed and they have obtained the qualifications to participate in the township examination.

Soon, the names of the new students were recorded in the file, and Tang students like Sun Dan could finally receive Tang Mi and get their salaries. Although six buckets of brown rice per month is meaningless to Sun Dan now. However, there is a regular income.

The college examination is only the first step on the road to the imperial examination, just like the college students of later generations have obtained their university diplomas. It is possible to take the civil service examination.

Sun Dan traveled to the Ming Dynasty and so far, apart from gaining some fame in Shandong, it has not had much impact on history. When he came to the Ming Dynasty, he was a soy sauce maker, and so far, all he has done is to fight for the improvement of his personal situation. Playing soy sauce and making soy sauce is king. Even if he wants to be an official in the future, he will go for wealth and glory. Therefore, his appearance does not have any impact on history for the time being.

A small butterfly flapped its wings in the Amazon River. As a result, a hurricane was triggered off the coast of the United States.

Sun Dan's butterfly wings have not been fanned since the beginning.

The big people change history, and the little people can only go with the flow. Soon, the financial trio composed of Yang Shen, Wang Yuanzheng and Sun Henian raised a small sum of money in Shandong and went to Nanjing. Help Emperor Zhengde make the huge prisoner sacrifice meeting lively. Of course, the three of them went to Nanjing for another purpose... Urge the emperor to return north as soon as possible. Don't toss around in Gangnam anymore.

Speaking of this grand ceremony of sacrificing prisoners. Or rather, His Majesty's southern expedition was a battle in itself.

King Ning's rebellion was born in Zhengde 14 June, and in August, Emperor Zhengde went on a personal expedition. But at this time, Mr. Wang Shouren had already quelled the rebellion, and even took King Ning as a prisoner. It is said that at this point, there is no need for the emperor to go to Jiangnan in person. But he finally seized the opportunity to travel out of Beijing, how could he let it go.

So, His Majesty the Emperor walked and stopped, toured the mountains and rivers, and did not touch it until June of the fifteenth year of Zhengde

Capital city.

It is not a way for the emperor to be away for a long time, and the reason why Yang Shen and Wang Yuanzheng, two Hanlin scholars, went to Nanjing in person. In order to get Zhengde back to Beijing as soon as possible. The emperor did not return to the court for a long time, and the court situation was in chaos. You also have to consume a lot of money and food every day. The treasury is already empty, and if Zhengde is fooled around in Jiangnan, he is afraid that the little family foundation of the household department will be hollowed out by him.

The prisoner sacrifice meeting could finally be held as scheduled, but in the midst of this grand gathering, the emperor had another problem. After Zhengde came to Jiangnan, he didn't fight a battle, and he didn't shoot a single shot, so he felt very bored to go back to Beijing like this. So, on the sacrifice of prisoners. The emperor proposed to let King Ning go and bring his troops to fight him again?

Such thoughts can no longer be summed up by the words "whimsy", Sun Dan can imagine the expressions of Yang Shen and Wang Yuanzheng at that time. These two. One is a literary and elegant celebrity, and the other is a cautious and decent gentleman, and when he encounters this kind of flying and jumping genius, he will also be stunned, right?

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengde is a wonderful person.

The Sun family knew all this from Sun Henian's letter from Nanjing, in which Sun Henian said that the emperor was about to return to the court. Let the Sun family prepare and move to the house in the capital as soon as possible, so that Sun Yue and Sun Gui can go to study with Xiao Yang. Moreover, Sun and Hao also shaded the title and wanted to go

Allow.

As soon as he received the letter, Sun Fu immediately began to pack up. Prepare to move your family to the capital. When the new life was about to begin, the Sun Mansion was extremely excited.

The Hou Sun family of Huichang was originally a century-old family. There is a large mansion in Beijing, Jinan, and Buping. Buping is the hometown, and the house has the longest year, but the scale is the smallest of the three places. Because Beijing is the residence of Sun Songnian and Sun Henian, the family will allocate a sum of money for maintenance every year.

Now he has thrown tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go. It is the most beautiful of the three courtyards.

The thought of living in such a big courtyard, and the prosperity of the capital, even the lowest slave of the Sun family couldn't contain the joy in his heart.

Moving a family to Beijing is not a simple matter for a big family, and it has been busy for nearly a month. By mid-August. Finally cleaned up. It's already autumn, the autumn grain of the Sun family's manors has been harvested, and the expenses along the way and the settling-in fee after entering Beijing are finally ready to stop, and they can go out, just wait for Sun Henian to return to Shandong and take a boat north. But at this time. Emperor Zhengde accidentally fell into the water while fishing in Qingjiang, Jiangsu, suffered from a cold and became seriously ill, and there was no way to return to Beijing. As an attendant minister, Sun Henian could only stay in Jiangsu.

He wrote another letter and asked the Sun family to go to Beijing first.

At the sound of the order, the whole Sun family moved, packing up the things, and escorting the money and grain.

Before leaving Shandong, the second grandson's family had to go to the old house in Buping to worship their ancestors.

History is still moving forward according to his own trajectory, and if nothing else, Emperor Zhengde will die in March next year. Sun Dan didn't take it to heart after hearing the news, as soon as Emperor Zhengde died, Jiajing would open Enke next autumn after ascending the throne, and there was not much time left for him, so he had to hurry up and prepare.

After all, he has been in Jinan for three months. After Zhong Xiucai, Mrs. Liu didn't come to him for trouble, and her life was comfortable.

o During the period of time when he was busy with Qi Yudian's heart, he followed Brother Sun to study in a academy in Jinan Mansion after learning the news of Gao Ping. He and a group of children of the Sun family completed their studies at the academy and returned to Gaoping by boat with several ladies.

The matter of Sun Dan's entry into the Guozijian to study has been confirmed. Getting this news, Sun Dan was a little annoyed. There are many rules and troubles in the kind of place where Guozijian is located, and the gentlemen who teach in it are all state cadres, because they stay in this kind of Qingshui Yamen all year round. They have all become resentful women. He was very angry, often beating students with wrenches, and taking pleasure in insulting prisoners. I am a free and comfortable modern person. If you go into that kind of place, you will definitely suffocate to death.

But what can Sun Dan do, as a child of the Sun family, he can only obey orders.

According to Sun Dan's previous assumptions, once he won the show and gained fame, he resigned from the Sun family, took Zhi Niang to study around, traveled in the world, and smiled proudly on the rivers and lakes.

Anyway, he is just a florist of the Sun family, and he is not controlled by others.

What he didn't expect was that after winning the show. The Sun family knew the value of Sun Dan, and even recorded the names of his ancestors and grandchildren in the family tree. Other words. Since then, Sun Dan has officially become the son of the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang.

In feudal society, the clan is extremely powerful, and if you receive the monthly money of the Sun family, you have to be controlled by others. As a scholar, as Sun Daner, who aspires to enter the imperial examination, reputation is very important. If you don't bird the grandson family, when you participate in the imperial examination in the future, you will not be able to pass the political examination first, "In feudal society, the word loyalty and filial piety is the foundation of governing the country, what is more than the crime of not recognizing the ancestors?"

Li Zan, a famous scholar of the Wanli Dynasty, was in a high position. But he was also annoyed by the patriarchs and relatives of the clan and almost had a nervous breakdown. Even him. Throughout his life, he had to be vain to the people in the clan. What's more, Sun Dan is such a small person, in the face of the powerful clan power in feudal society, he has no power to fight back at all.

Fortunately, Sun He's letter was not full of bad news. Mr. Li Meiting was finally re-employed. Now he is the supervisor of the country and is in charge of the supervisor. He is an official from the sixth grade. Responsible for inspecting students' academics, school discipline, and invigilators.

Sun Dan and Li Meiting have a deep friendship, and with such a teacher taking care of them inside, life should be good.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan became happy again.

After a day of sailing, I finally returned to my hometown in Buping. The ladies and boys went back to the house to pack their bags. Sun Dan didn't go back to the courtyard, so he got on a boat and took Feng Zhen towards the county seat.

For more than two months, Feng Zhen has had a good life. After following Sun Dan, Sun Dan rented him a house in Jinan City and let him live there. Feng Zhen has lived in Jinan for two months, and he has three meals, and the bitter look on his face can no longer be seen.

It's just that he is used to being lively in the army, and he is idle all of a sudden, and he is depressed.

Fortunately, Sun Dan also knew that it was not a way to let him eat, sleep, sleep and eat like this, so he went to him from time to time to teach him to read. In Sun Dan's mind. This guy is the future butler of choice.

If you are illiterate, you don't know how to keep accounts and do arithmetic. How to be in charge of yourself.

In addition, Sun Dan felt that his health was too poor, and if he didn't strengthen his exercise, even if he didn't die young, he would have a quality of life when he was old in the future.

So, he would go to Feng Zhen every day. Teach him to recognize two commonly used words, and then punch all the way.

Feng Zhen said that Sun Dan was older, and he couldn't learn any advanced martial arts. I figured out a set of soothing movements and not very difficult boxing techniques for Sun Dan to practice.

This set of boxing comes and goes in five styles, which seems very simple, and it is very troublesome to cooperate with a certain breathing rhythm when fighting, and it does not require a lot of effort. It only takes half an hour to get out from beginning to end, and it doesn't take long.

At the beginning, Sun Dan still felt that this way of boxing was not interesting. But after practicing for half a month, he now eats a lot more, and he no longer has bad dreams when he sleeps at night.

After experiencing this benefit. Sun Dan became more and more interested in this boxing method.

According to Feng Zhen, if Sun Dan practiced like this for more than 20 years, he would not become a master. But it's okay to deal with one or two ordinary guys. "For more than 20 years," I will become an uncle by then. Sun Dan smiled bitterly.

However, it is still good to be able to have a healthy body.

Exercise for half an hour a day, work healthily for 50 years, and live happily for a lifetime.

"I don't know what Master Tan's house looks like?" Feng Zhen had seen the wealth of the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang during this time, and his eyes were opened, and he was looking forward to Sun Dan's private house.

"Didn't I tell you that I was poor. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Sun Dan said.

Feng Zhen refused to believe it, and said that the old man was modest again, you are now famous, just say a word, there are many dilapidated farmers attached to it, if you want to have a field, someone wants people, will you be poor?

Sun smiled lightly, and didn't say much to him. However, he was thinking in his heart that he would really enter the officialdom in the future, and he would not even be able to support the officialdom by relying on that poor little bit of money, let alone doing anything. According to the Ming Dynasty system, the state is not responsible for the expenses of officials and subordinates, and even if an ordinary secretary is hired, the officials need to pay for it themselves. If you want to make a difference, you really can't do anything without money in your hands. He didn't want to become a destitute and incorruptible monster like Hai Jui in the future.

Although Qing officials are subjected to people, such an aggrieved life is not what Sun Dan wants...

"Journey to the West" has been completed, and Sun Dan has no other income except for six buckets of rice per month and one or two silver cents per month given by the Sun family.

Besides, "Journey to the West" does not have a mere amount of dozens of taels of silver, and it is really useless when it is critical, so it has to open up another source of wealth.

No business is not rich, and doing business is a good idea. But. Merchants had a low status in the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Dan had no such intention when he first crossed over to the Ming Dynasty. But now he is also a person who has made a name for himself, and now there are many convenient conditions for doing business. In the Ming Dynasty, there were not too many real businessmen, and many of them were part-time. For example, several grain merchants in Jinan are all well-known large landowners in Shandong; The river transportation industry was controlled by a few senior officials in the DPRK and China; According to Yang Shen, most of the silk merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are local nobles. These people are all big people with fame and status. There is no cover of fame. A simple businessman, once the business is big, be careful of being eaten by people with a belt and bones.

I have a lot of ideas in my head. Find time to sort it out and see if you can come up with a specific plan.

Sun Dan also has a small amount of savings now, and he has a reputation in his body, since he wants to do it, he will make it bigger. Of course, this business can no longer involve Sun Hao and Sun Jia. As soon as he came, Sun Hao was about to go to the capital to be an official, and that kid was born a lazy person and couldn't do anything; Furthermore. Sun Jia is a member of the Sun Mansion, and Sun Dan is now a little overwhelmed by the Sun family, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

Walking on the street, just as he was thinking about it, he heard Feng Zhen next to him shouting at the top of his voice: "Hey, that wine seller has come to sieve two bowls to moisten his throat, and his throat is so dry that he is about to find smoke." ”

"Okay, you wait" Ah, it's Brother Sun Dan, you can be regarded as returning to the ministry. I heard that after you entered the Sun family as a gardener, you went to the nobles of the house, Dali City, and your small life was prosperous! It's so good to take care of the old body's business. ”

It was a woman with a hoarse voice who spoke. Sun Dan woke up from his contemplation and looked up to see that it was the Tang Pozi of the North Gate Bridge.

It turned out that he didn't know that he had come to the north gate.

Sun Dan had known Tang Pozi before, but he hadn't had much contact. Last time, Zhiniang's eldest brother Wan Li looked at the distant niece of Tang Pozi's family who came to Shandong from Nanchang to join her family, and originally, the two families were going to be relatives. It's a pity that the price of the soup woman is too high. And the butcher is a miser who is not pulling out a dime. The two stiffened over this matter, and finally turned against each other.

"What kind of wealth, I'm one, little gardener. A few dollars a month is not bad. He gave Feng Zhen a look and signaled him to be calm. Sun said lightly: "I stayed in Jinan during this time. I haven't been home for three months, and I don't know how my home is. I won't bother Aunt Tang and say goodbye. ”

"Yo, what are you talking about little gardener, now who in the entire Bangping City doesn't know that your family's copper coins are piled up rotten, and the meat that your lady eats every day has caught up with the rice money of an ordinary person in January. Why, if you are rich, you look down on the old body. Tang Pozi stretched out her hand and grabbed Sun Dan's sleeve, "I haven't seen you for so long, so I should take care of the old body's business before I can leave." ”

Sun Dan now found that Tang Pozi put two tables and a dozen small benches on the side of the street, and set up a small sweet wine stall.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was already steamed enzyme liquor, and the degree was also high, but this kind of wine was very precious, and it was not that the rich and noble people could not enjoy it at all. Ordinary people still drink Nabei self-brewed rice wine, and the degree is not much higher than the mash. Many times, everyone drinks this wine as a drink.

After autumn, the sun is shining every day. Somewhat hot. Tang Pozi set up a sweet wine stall on the street to earn some living expenses.

This sweet rice wine like Yu Pozi's home-brewed rice wine. Sun Dan's lack of interest, he has been singing poetry and wine with his literary friends in Jinan in the past few months, and he has never drunk any good wine. Seeing Tang Pozi's bald head and dirty nails, he lost his appetite first.

Just as he was about to excuse himself, Feng Zhen was probably thirsty, so he took a bowl of wine and drank it first.

Sun Dan shook his head, this shrugging man was really not particular, so he took out two copper coins and threw them on the table. He said, "Let's go." And he lifted up his feet to go.

But Mrs. Tang still refused to let go of Sun Dan, and still pulled Sun Dan's sleeve tightly: "Why is Brother Sun so anxious, yo, you have also seen the world in the Sun family, why, you dislike the dirty things here in the old body, and refuse to spend money?" ”

Sun Dan was a little overwhelmed and said with a wry smile; "Mrs. Tang, I'm in a hurry to go home. How about I have time to come back and take care of your business? ”

"No, no, your family is the least talkative, last time I told your father-in-law that I would marry my niece, but he repented. I have to talk to you about this, I said, Brother Sun, anyway, you have money now, so give it for your eldest brother's gift. After speaking, he pressed Sun Dan on the stool without saying anything, and shouted to the side: "Su Fen, you little hoof, why are you so eyeless, this is your future brother-in-law, and he has money in hand." If you don't sift the wine for him, you can put it on two plates with fresh fruit and beans. ”

"Just come." At this time, Sun Dan saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl squatting in front of a large wooden basin on the street next to Tang Pozi, washing dishes and chopsticks.

This woman is Tang Sufen, who is the uncle of Wanli?
