22. Foresight
In the more than a month between the completion of the government examination and the hospital examination, Zheng Guang lived the life of an otaku again, staying at home, just reading by himself, and supervising Zheng Yong's practice, Zheng Yong, this kid has a momentum, but there is no perseverance, if there is no external supervision, it is easy to give up halfway, plus the alcohol addiction is not small, Zheng Guang needs to stare at him with a stick, and beat him when he sees something bad, in order to make him persevere.

People develop a good habit, it takes about twenty-one days of uninterrupted practice, Zheng Guang expanded this time to more than fifty days, uninterrupted forced Zheng Yong, rain or shine, and finally played a good role, now Zheng Yong no longer needs Zheng Guang to carry a stick on the side to supervise, he can also do all the training according to the requirements, and he is not a one-time proposal, now doing these training has become a lot easier.
This is natural, physical strength has been enhanced, physique has been enhanced, and naturally it is not so tired, at the beginning, it was difficult for him to dance with the green dragon sword, and he was a little tired to hold it, but now it is okay to dance for half an hour in one breath, Zheng Guang found that Zheng Yong did not dislike martial arts and war, but the psychological shadow from childhood to adulthood made him mistakenly think that if he was not to protect his family, he would not be brave and ruthless, and he had a tendency to be self-loathing and self-abandoning.
In this way, Zheng Guangtuo bought a copy of the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" engraved in the early years to Zheng Yong, Zheng Yong was fascinated at a glance, in addition to completing the prescribed training every day, the only hobby is to hold the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and keep reading, sometimes I will forget to eat when I watch it, which shocked the whole Zheng Mansion - the second master has not made trouble for so long, and he still reads books every day, and he is dying!
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Zheng Guang saw in the original time and space is actually quite different from the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" engraved by Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the modern version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a version that has been annotated and deleted by Mao and his son in the Qing Dynasty, and the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" engraved by Jiajing has many differences, Zheng Guang also read some stories of the Three Kingdoms in this period, and found a lot of differences from the modern popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, in the final analysis, China's four famous novels may be because of their great fame, and they all have different degrees of author controversy, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the same, everyone generally thinks that it was written by Luo Guanzhong, but Zheng Guang saw the plot of Zhuge Liang's extensive use of mines in the Jiajing version, and described the mine system very carefully, which is intriguing.
The Ming Dynasty did have landmines, but the earliest use was during the war between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen's uncle and nephew, the earliest appeared on the battlefield in 1402, and Luo Guanzhong's exact year of death was two years before this war, that is, the second year of Jianwen, 1400 AD, and since the emergence of firearms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, successive governments have strictly guarded firearms, which are powerful weapons, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know their use and production methods.
Luo Guanzhong did work as an official, but he was a staff member under Zhu Yuanzhang's nemesis Zhang Shicheng, and he may have a certain understanding of firearms, but improved mines gradually appeared in the following decades, Luo Guanzhong, as a former subordinate of Zhang Shicheng, is impossible to know its details, Luo Guanzhong should belong to the marginal faction during the Ming Dynasty, and the core secret of mines and firearms belongs to Zhu Di, the northern hero, Luo Guanzhong wrote books in the south, and Zhu Di was stationed in the north, how did the two get in touch?
From this point of view, this plot about landmines, if Luo Guanzhong is really the author of the Three Kingdoms, then this plot is not from Luo Guanzhong's hand, Zheng Guang still vaguely remembers that Hu Shi, a researcher of the Republic of China, said that this story of the Three Kingdoms is not a work of one family and one surname, but a combination of hundreds of years of folklore and historical materials, and the painstaking summary of countless Confucian scholars is not the author, but can only be regarded as a compiler.
After Zheng Yong watched it for three days, he began to regard himself as the successor of Guan Erye, and said that he wanted to raise a beard to the point of Guan Erye, and begged Zheng Guang to buy him a "Red Rabbit BMW" with a dead face, as well as green clothes, green pants, green robes and green hats, he wanted to be Guan Erye's second.
After Zheng Guang beat him with a stick so that he couldn't even recognize his mother, he angrily scolded: "When can you beat me again, come and talk to me about this!" is also the second master of Guan, and the second master of Guan is like you, he will die a long time ago! It's not enough to be ashamed of green clothes, green robes and green hats, isn't it?! ā
Zheng Yong is miserable, but you said that this second master is good at everything, why do you like to walk the world with a green hat, it's strange...... Thinking of this, Zheng Guang suddenly remembered that although the specific saying of the green hat was finally formed around the middle and early Ming Dynasty, it was worn with a strong irony, so it has been passed down to this day and has become a symbol of the most unlucky and useless man.
And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also written after the folk understand the meaning of green hats and green dresses, if those authors and adaptors really have the heart, and can even equip Zhuge Liang, a weapon that transcends the times, landmines, to show Zhuge Liang's wisdom, how can they put such an obvious mocking dress to equip the world-famous Guan Erye?
Zhao Yun is white, Zhang Fei is black, Guan Erye's turn will be green, with a red face and a green hat, the red and green combination looks good? ! Not to mention anything else, since the Spring and Autumn Period, green is the color for the lowly, and it has been used, Guan Erye is in the imperial city of Xudu, and he has been dedicated to the emperor and made a marquis, although it is the lowest pavilion marquis, but it is also a marquis, a nobleman, those ministers and generals have some culture, do you have no opinion on Guan Erye's green?
Intriguing......
Don't talk about these, because of the book "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zheng Guang began to systematically teach Zheng Yong the knowledge of the thirty-six strategies, and each of the thirty-six strategies of knowledge can be found in the story of the Three Kingdoms, because of its fun and easy to understand, Zheng Yong accepted it quickly, Zheng Guang said a plan, Zheng Yong can answer the specific case, and because it is a specific successful case, it seems to be more efficient than a simple explanation.
While Zheng Yong's physical fitness has been greatly improved, he has unconsciously begun to get started in the art of war.
In this day of fighting, time flies by, in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the college examination, the college examination is held in Nanjing, the south of the Zhili should be held in Nanjing, presided over by the Nan Zhili's academic administration, mainly for the elite students selected by the Nan Zhili provinces, more like a ranking match, rather than a knockout round, so it is difficult, but the acceptance rate is high, after a strange government examination and a period of anxiety, Zheng Guang found that there was no sign of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, although there were doubts in his heart, but he still went down and prepared for the college examination.
At this time, it reflects the benefits of the local tyrant family, Zheng Guang is still the only male in the main family, and there is no need to try his best to make money and live a good life like those predecessors who have crossed over to poor families, although the cost will be very large after becoming an official, the bigger the official, the greater the cost, and the Zheng family can't afford it now, Zheng Guang has to gradually find a way to get his own source of income, and he can't always gnaw at the old capital, but at this stage, the Zheng family's financial resources are completely affordable, such as buying a property in Nanjing, So that Zheng Guang can study with peace of mind without worrying about the difficult journey.
After passing the government test, Zheng Jiang went to Nanjing City Tribute Courtyard to find high-quality housing, after all, it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty today, the location of the second set of government teams, the house price is not cheap, but the Zheng family's income is not low, the old lady gritted her teeth ruthlessly, spent more than 400 taels of silver, and bought a house not far from the Tribute Courtyard, so that Zheng Guang could study there and prepare for the exam.
Not only can the hospital test be used, but also the township test, from the beginning of the hospital test to the end of the township test, Zheng Guang can live in the city of Nanjing, prepare for the exam, do not have to run back and forth, or live in those black-hearted inns to be slaughtered, Zheng Guang does not have too many ideas about how to make money, what high wine and the like are not much useful in today's Daming, and the Daming in the southeast is not much different from modern times in terms of daily necessities.
So Zheng Guang doesn't have so many things to do, on the contrary, if you start from yourself and take the road of land, it will be better, the five hundred acres of paddy fields in Taihu Lake owned by Zheng's ancestors, as well as those shops that sell grain and cloth, together, are indeed the middle rich of the people, but if they are placed in the official family, it is not enough, after becoming an official, especially after Yan Song has been in power for many years, as an official, he has to find ways to send money to Yan's father and son, and he really can't afford it without a little family background.
The reason why Xu Jie, Xu Huating, can survive under the prestige of Yan's father and son, and the money provided by his family is definitely not a few, Xu Jie himself is indeed honest and not bribed, but his family has really done a lot of bad things in order to supply its huge expenses, and has seized a lot of fields.
It is not easy to obtain a large amount of farmland in today's southeast, at least it is not easy for the Zheng family to keep their five hundred acres of paddy fields, the old lady regards these paddy fields as more important than life, when the two families worked together to obtain the field, the old lady once sat in the paddy field, saying that if you want to take the field, you can take my life first.
It stands to reason that after the examination is lifted, there will be merchants and landlords who will spontaneously invest in order to reduce their own taxes, and at the same time provide the funds for the promotion of people to continue the examination and the activity funds after obtaining the official position, as an exchange of interests, so the Jinshi who have invested in the examination are naturally not short of money to spend, but Zheng Guang refused, which is basically destined to Zheng Guang can only rely on his own family.
Modern knowledge is useless, land can't afford to buy too much, and the family's business has been tepid, so it's good to stay in such a state, but once you enter the court, the cost must be indispensable.
How can you help your family earn more money?
When preparing for the college exam, Zheng Guang was also thinking about these questions, but compared to his own half-ass, Zheng Guang still trusted Zheng Jiang, the third uncle who had worked in this for a long time and was the actual person in charge of the Zheng family's finances, so Zheng Guang also asked about this knowledge like Zheng Jiang who was accompanying him: "Third uncle, you say, now that we are in the Ming Dynasty, what do we do to make the most money?" ā
