The Beijing Poetry Society has achieved a person's reputation, this person is not Ji Ning, but Gu Yuming, a "talented man in Jiangbei".

Because others regarded the words of the Beijing Poetry Club as written by Gu Yuming, and Gu Yuming himself did not deny it, so that others did not know that the words were written by Ji Ning, and this word was not Ji Ning's original, but from the real genius Liu Yong.

After entering the wax moon, Ji Ning attended the poetry meeting, and after participating in a very unsuccessful academic seminar, he studied at home with peace of mind.

In Layue, he only needs to do one thing himself, that is, to go to the county government of Daxing County to deal with the affairs of Shu'antang, and he can hand over other things to Lin Yi to do, and Lin Yi's ability to do things these days has also been fully affirmed by Ji Ning.

There are less than two months left until the entrance examination in February next year, which is a very tight time for students in the capital who are preparing for the exam.

Ji Ning has a lot of books to read, many of which are not in his head, and he needs to supplement the knowledge he doesn't know to enrich himself.

He also has to compare the knowledge in his mind with the knowledge of the world, and once there is a relative conflict, he must do so "according to the actual situation".

As for Qin Yuanyuan's letter, Ji Ning didn't take it too seriously, he didn't know the specific purpose of Qin Yuanyuan's coming to the capital for the time being, he only roughly knew that it had something to do with the power struggle, and he also understood that Qin Yuanyuan was likely to be a political broker to help those powerful people save money, Ji Ning also guessed that Qin Yuanyuan was related to the power of the five princes or the crown prince, but it was never confirmed.

Ji Ning asked Lin Yi to find a house with three courtyards, and he moved there first, so that the house was finally spacious.

Yu Ling and Lin Juan'er were in charge of the backyard, Lin Yi was in charge of the front yard, and Ji Ning also asked Lin Yi to find a few more newly recruited brothers to come over and help clean up the yard, and then Ji Ning moved in.

Because Ji Ning was not sure that he would definitely be able to become a jinshi, he was just renting a courtyard in the capital, and he did not plan to live in the capital for a long time.

Even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, his goal is to enter the Temple of Literature, and the place assigned to him by the Temple of Literature may not be necessary, it may be to stay in the capital, or it may be to accompany the capital Jinling, or it may be to go to the Confucian Temple in a local provincial capital or a big city, in general, there is no need for him to settle in one place now.

At this time, Ji Ning was more concerned about how to organize the gang in the capital.

Things went more smoothly than he imagined, because Lin Yi's ability to do things was undoubted, Lin Yi was diligent, witty, and sincere to people, so that many people were willing to wait for dispatch under his command.

In fact, one of the main reasons is that Ji Ning can provide Lin Yi with silver, and it is easy to do things with silver, and the main purpose of many people to defect to Lin Yi is also to make money.

When the gang was just launched, there was no work in the gang, but everyone's salary was according to the law, which made many people feel that they could go to the gang to eat white food, Ji Ning originally gave Lin Yiding's small goal of recruiting fifty people, but it took less than ten days to recruit nearly two hundred people, these people were waiting to come and work, but in fact, they were all lazy.

Ji Ning also talked to Lin Yi about this issue.

Ji Ning's disgust is very simple, the brothers in the gang must be divided into grades, first divided into inner and outer doors, the disciples of the inner door are considered confidential disciples, and they are given more silver and salary every month, and then they are specifically ranked.

“…… The inner disciples are also divided into several grades, first the gang leader, the following are four halls, each hall has a hall master, two deputy hall masters, and the inner disciples under the jurisdiction are divided into four levels, each level can be increased by a certain salary and treatment, and all the deputy hall masters and hall masters must be selected from the fourth-level disciples in the gang. As for the outer disciples, they can also be divided into two levels, the first level is the inspection period, where a very small amount of salary is given, and the second level is formal, and you must make merit in the gang before you can enter the inner gate......"

Ji Ning said a lot, even if Lin Yi's head was smart, he still needed to write it down, but fortunately, he still knew a few words, which also made Ji Ning feel gratified.

In these years, even in the capital, there are not many people who know words, and Lin Yi is a declining official eunuch after all, and he received private school education when his family was good in his early years, but his knowledge is also very shallow, limited to some basic text exchanges, and it is very difficult to write articles, so Ji Ning did not plan to train Lin Yi to participate in the imperial examination.

……

……

On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, there was still one day before the opening of the trial in Daxing County, and Ji Ning walked out of the house on this day.

In the past few days, Ji Ning has been busy studying, and at the same time, he is helping Lin Yi manage the affairs of the gang.

The gang was finally organized, and a new hall was set up, there were about fifty people in a hall, according to Ji Ning's confession, the hall master and deputy hall master were temporarily set up first, and the gangs below also returned to the outer gate and the inner door first.

The inner door gang members are basically familiar with Lin Yi and belong to the "related households", and those who come to wait to eat white food are temporarily classified as the outer gate.

On this day, Ji Ning took Lin Yi out and asked Lin Yi to catch the car, he was going to see Tang Xie and the others.

After entering the lunar month, everyone is purchasing New Year's goods, and Ji Ning has not purchased much here, and this time it came out, mainly to discuss the New Year's arrangement.

The location of this meeting is directly in the restaurant, and it is also a happy picture to sit down and eat wine and banquet together.

“…… Yongning, we have prepared a New Year's gift for you, and we will send it to you when we turn around! Tang Xie was very enthusiastic, knowing that Ji Ning only brought a maid to the capital this time, and proposed to help Ji Ning purchase New Year's goods.

"No need." Ji Ning waved his hand and said, "Your kindness is appreciated in my heart." New Year's goods, there will be fund-raising here! ”

"Yongning is out again, isn't it? Yongning, don't be polite, it's all our heart. Han Yu said.

Ji Ning couldn't refuse, so he accepted the New Year's goods. But everything needs to be turned back before it arrives.

"I told you, I asked you to come out today because I wanted you to come with us to visit this Gu Yuming." Tang explained, "You don't know, now Gu Yuming is so majestic in the capital, he goes everywhere to participate in cultural meetings, and he can always become the focus of attention of the audience, we want to see him once, and even have to make an appointment, and it is not to meet alone, we need to meet him at the cultural meeting!" ”

Ji Ning frowned, he was not interested in a person like Gu Yuming.

"Why do you want to meet so many people when you see them?" Ji Ning asked.

Han Yu explained: "It's not good not to see it, it is said that this Gu Yuming has been appreciated by King Hui, and he may be a county horse when he turns around, alas! If you want to say that he is also a **** lucky, the word can make him famous, and I haven't seen him have a better word creation these days, don't be a flash in the pan, Jiang Lang is exhausted! ”
