The influence of Jinling Township Trial Xie Yuan is undoubtedly huge, and when Ning Zhiyuan was busy dealing with the small people who kept coming to his family to report good news and invite him to the banquet, his name and articles were being known by the vast number of literati and talented women in Jinling.

There are not many Xie Yuan who can write eight shares and compose poems in front of Tang Yin, and this Ning Xie Yuan seems to be no weaker than that Bohu

Returning home, Liu Ru put down the article in his hand, bowed his head and sighed

Originally, I was going to visit Du Cheng yesterday, but because there were too many people blocking the door, I couldn't leave because the little girl was entangled, so I had to go today, and this era attaches great importance to the etiquette of teachers and students.

Du Cheng's performance was very kind, different from the monotony when he was teaching, and Ning Zhiyuan brought him a lot of fame.

Life is small, fame is big.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't like these politeness very much, but it was the so-called local customs, and he was really grateful for the opportunity Du Cheng gave him.

"Zhiyuan, the poem you wrote when you returned to your home is exquisite, but your mind still has to be on learning, this township test is very good." Du Cheng said with a posture of an elder.

Ning Zhiyuan nodded again and again and said modestly, yes, the township test Xie Yuan is indeed just good? In my heart, he didn't say anything.

"I'm going to be transferred to Ningxi County, Zhejiang Province soon, as a county magistrate, if there is anything I can say hello to the old man." Du Cheng said again, he is basically satisfied with Ning Zhiyuan's attitude, and he is also full of yearning for his future, he is only forty years old this year, and he has a good teacher, and his career has just begun.

Originally, he was going to really want to decentralize, but he didn't know where it would be, but there was a student of Xie Yuan, so he went to Zhejiang.

Ning Zhiyuan thought to himself, Zhejiang is one of the safest places in the late Ming Dynasty, and it's not bad to go there to be a county magistrate, as for helping himself, is this really okay? He was skeptical, but a fool would say it.

After pretending to be a good boy for a while, Ning Zhiyuan walked out of the door of Du Cheng's house, Du Cheng looked at the figure of this student, and remembered the poem he wrote yesterday, and reflected in his heart, why couldn't he write such a poem?

In the suburbs, Li Dingguo, Ning Zhiyuan felt that every time he came here, it was a long journey, although it was not far, but it was relatively partial.

Lao Yuan smelled a smell of ginseng, it seems that the thousand-year-old ginseng was not given for nothing, although as a modern person, he would wonder if this is useful, but looking at Li Dingfang's face is obviously more ruddy, he must be able to get through this level.

Li Dingguo hit the thick trunk on the side, and when he saw Ning Zhiyuan coming, he walked over excitedly, "Zhiyuan, congratulations on becoming a Xie Yuan, Brother is only ninth, but it's okay." ”

Li Dingfang also looked at Ning Zhiyuan with a smile on the side.

Ning Zhiyuan was also very happy, this Xie Yuan identity, he found that he was not as calm as he imagined, and he would be a little excited from time to time.

With a calm look on his face, he asked, "Is Dingguo feeling better today?" ”

"Brother is almost ready." Li Dingguo was even happier after listening to Ning Zhiyuan's question, and felt that Ning Zhiyuan was very interesting, he became Xie Yuan yesterday, and he came to see his brother today.

There was a sudden blow on his face, although he didn't have to worry about eating for the time being, Li Dingguo still went out to find a job today, but he was helpless and had nowhere to go, so he went around and came back.

He is not a dead-faced person, he wants to live on his own, so he germinated the idea of joining the army.

"After Brother is well, I want to go to the army outside the Guanwai." Li Dingguo spoke his mind. The reason why it is outside the gate is because only the soldiers there have salaries. After speaking, he looked at Ning Zhiyuan a little nervously. He was worried that Ning Zhiyuan thought he was trying to escape the favor he owed.

"That's my idea, too." Li Dingfang on the side said.

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned, he really wanted to say, you were a thief in your last life, do you know? But he wouldn't say that, so he said, "Do you really want to be a soldier?" I was expecting you to be there for me to help me. ”

"Help?" The two brothers wondered at the same time, in their eyes, they owed Ning Zhiyuan, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to pay it off in this life, so they had the idea of going out to break through, but "What do you do?" Can I beat a dozen people and help you beat people? Li Dingguo said weakly.

"Oh?" Ning Zhiyuan knew that Li Dingguo had the strength to do it, but he didn't expect him to be able to have more than a dozen people by himself, and he was more sure in his heart, Li Dingguo had never been a patriot, and with his life experience of more than 30 years in his previous life, it could be seen that this was a very righteous man, and Li Dingfang was also a very thoughtful person.

"I want to recruit a group of people."

"You want to rebel?" Li Dingguo said excitedly, Li Dingfang looked thoughtful.

“――――”

Ning Zhiyuan looked at Li Dingguo with black lines on his head, and said in his heart, how can this product be so two? Or Li Dingfang is more reliable.

"I just want to recruit a group of people to train and train first, and in the past few years, various rebel armies have emerged one after another, so I must prepare early in case of accidents." Ning Zhiyuan didn't answer directly, and glanced at Li Dingguo with a smile, "I'm just recruiting some people to protect my family business, how about you become the head of the nursing home." ”

Li Dingguo didn't think about it and said, "No matter what you think, as long as you don't dislike me." "He really doesn't take the imperial court seriously, in his opinion, the imperial court is useless except for collecting taxes, if it weren't for the fact that Brother Ah is still there, he would have joined the rebel peasant army a long time ago." However, Zhiyuan, what family business do you have to protect? “

Ning Zhiyuan touched his nose, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, he has no property for the time being, but he will have it soon, it is easy to make a sum of money with his ability to plagiarize poetry, and then he can buy land? And he won't buy land, just rent it is enough, and he has a general idea in his heart that he can become a big landlord in a few years.

Li Dingguo, can't you keep demolishing yourself? Ning Zhiyuan had some resentment. "Soon after." He said with some annoyance.

Li Dingguo felt that Ning Zhiyuan occasionally talked to him like this, or looked at him with contempt, but he felt very kind, which was a very strange phenomenon and a very normal phenomenon, because he knew that Ning Zhiyuan had no malicious intentions.

Hehe laughed a few times and didn't answer.

"Do you think the Ming Dynasty is going to die?" Li Dingfang asked suddenly.

"I just thought, it's always nice to have a little bit of your own business." Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Li Dingfang and replied.

But looking at the other party's eyes, he still sighed, looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, a few dark clouds were slowly swallowing the white clouds, and said slowly, "The country is about to die, and there will be demons." ”

"I won't fight back, but"

"Shaanxi has been in drought for many years, the imperial court is corrupt, more than a dozen groups of peasants have revolted, and the Tatars outside the border have invaded every year, you all know this."

――――――

"The important ministers of the temple only know how to form a party and make profits, regardless of the life and death of the people, you also know this."

"Besides, in less than next year, I expect that Inspector Yuan will definitely be killed,"

"What do you think?"
