Chapter 749: The Right Medicine
When he set off again to Chaozhou Mansion, Wang Fulin brought six entourages, and each of them received fifty taels of gold and ten beads. As for Chen Bingchang and Xiuzhu, one is unwilling to want it alive or dead, and the other is silent whether it is alive or dead, so Wang Fulin will not mention this stubble. As for the rest, Wang Fulin planned to exchange it for silver and necessary materials for Du Maode, Lu Shisan, and others to use when they set off for Taiwan, and the silver to recruit people. In this regard, everyone naturally did not have the slightest objection, even if they all carried dozens of pounds of things in their bags.
It's just that those well-preserved bricks with words were brought back as souvenirs by Liu Bo and others.
And those bricks that were smashed by everyone before, it was only after occasionally discovering that the bricks were engraved with words, and everyone found out that they actually recorded many achievements of Lin Daoqian, that is, it was similar to the significance of the stone inscription after every victory of the official army. In other words, this can be regarded as a brick of merit among pirates. It's just that since the destruction has been destroyed, no one pays attention to that much. Only when Wang Fulin left in the early morning and saw the mess, he still had a trace of emotion in his heart.
The wooden boxes had been burned clean as firewood, and the carved bricks, which symbolized the "great achievements" of the pirates, were destroyed to the point that only a few pieces remained. When Lin Daoqian dies tomorrow, this once mighty pirate leader who once crisscrossed the four seas will probably soon disappear into history. But I don't know if Lin Daoqian's descendants and generals who stayed in Beitani will still stick to that Daoqian port. Since he got Lin Daoqian's last savings through Xiuzhu, he might as well give this pirate leader from a small official a chance to show off when he looks back at the Ping Kou Zhizhong written by Master Feng.
Compared with the previous arrival, which alarmed a bunch of officials in the Chaozhou Mansion, when he returned this time, because Zhou Congwen escorted Lin Daoqian in front of him, and quietly went to hunt for treasures, Wang Fulin, who arrived several days late, finally did not receive any more welcome scenes. With tens of thousands of yuan wrapped around his waist, he directly took people to live in Master Feng's house. Master Feng, who followed Zhou Congwen back from Nanao Island one step earlier, was overjoyed and had a lot of face.
Of course, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and Wang Fulin made Master Feng stand out through the reception banquet before. Not long after he stayed that day, several groups of people came to visit him with the news of his arrival, and at last he was overwhelmed. simply let people sprinkle the famous posts all over the officialdom of Chaozhou Mansion.
There is only one central meaning, this time to supervise Lin Daoqian, the protagonist is Zhou Congwen, the deputy envoy of Haidao, as for him, after taking office, he is running around, this time he plans to live in Master Feng's house to rest below, and he does not plan to supervise the officials in Chaozhou Mansion, and he is bothered to clean up for a few days.
In this regard, Chen Bingchang was quite grateful to Wang Fulin, who did not plan to go to the court to join in the fun. He also fervently hoped that Xiuzhu would not go - although that time Wang Fulin deliberately left him and Xiuzhu the opportunity to make it worse under his clumsiness and clumsiness, and he didn't say anything clearly. However, to his surprise, early in the morning of the second day after staying at Feng's house, Xiuzhu got up early to freshen up and dress up, and changed into plain clothes, which turned out to be a posture of going out. He tried to stop it, but he couldn't. In the end, I saw Wang Fulin make a look, and then I woke up like a dream. Hurriedly chased after him as a flower messenger.
After Wang Fulin sent an entourage to protect him, he changed his outfit and asked Master Feng to go out together, but instead of looking at the crowds of people to see the downtown of the killers, he went to Chaozhou Mansion to study. Although Guangdong is located in the south of Tiannan, the number of people raised every three years is 80. It is not much less than Zhejiang and other places in the southeast, so Chaozhou Mansion, as the richest mansion in Guangdong second only to Guangzhou Mansion, is also a prosperous academy with many scholars, and is located in Chaozhou Mansion next to the Chaozhou Mansion. It is also a very famous building in the city.
The professor of Fuxue is the instructor of the eighth grade, and under normal circumstances, the person who holds this position is either a person or a supervisor, but if it is a place like Nanzhili and Zhejiang and Beizhili, there will also be a situation where Jinshi is a professor of Fuxue, although the grade is not as good as the county order or the official, but it satisfies the wish of many Jinshi who do not want to go to remote areas to serve as officials. And the professor of Chaozhou Fuxue, who is located in Chaozhou Mansion, is of course not a shortage of Jinshi. Professor Zhao, who was born in Fujian, didn't have to worry about language problems when he arrived in Chaozhou, but after all, his goal was to be a county magistrate in the next day, so his lack of political achievements became a pimple in his heart.
Therefore, although the Chaozhou government went out to watch Lin Daoqian go to the Dharma field today, Professor Zhao did not go. It was precisely because he didn't go that when the door came in at a trot and reported that the inspector Wang Ye was coming, his first reaction was not suspicion, not surprise, but rejoicing - if he was not there, Wang Fulin Weifu came to inspect but pounced on it is a trivial matter, what is wrong with being picked out of the school, wouldn't it be a big deal? He hurriedly went out to greet him in person, and after seeing people, he explained that most of the Xiucai in today's school also went to join in the fun, so there were not many people, but in exchange for Wang Fulin smiled.
"Professor Zhao, I'm not here this time to see how those students are doing, but for you."
Hey?
Professor Zhao was a little caught off guard by Wang Fulin's sudden attack, and he was not very familiar with Master Feng who was accompanying him, the only thing he knew was that the other party was Wang Fulin when he was still a showman. How many talents in this world can still remember the county school teaching or the government school professor when they were students?
Therefore, seeing that Master Feng smiled kindly at him, and nodded, feeling that it should not be a bad thing for Wang Fulin to come today, his mood was a lot lighter, and his expression was a little more natural. However, this emotion only lasted until Wang Fulin showed him a note from the Shangshu Imperial Court.
Seeing the content of the song, he suddenly had a sense of fear that the gods were fighting and the little ghosts were suffering. Because Wang Fulin turned out to be the impeachment of Zhou Kanggu, the deputy envoy for the promotion of education, to fish for his reputation, and misinterpreted the rectification of the academic and political sparseness of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, and was too strict when presiding over the Taoist examination, and even went to a certain county to only take one student, and said that he would rather be lacking than abuse during the township examination. As for the suggestion that the instructor is not another official, and that he is not confined to other provinces, etc., he agrees, then it is secondary.
Therefore, after the panic, Professor Zhao said with a bitter face: "Such a big matter, why should Wang Ye show me?" ”
"I'm about to ask Professor Zhao to co-sign." Wang Fulin was so shocked when he saw Professor Zhao's expression that his jaw was about to drop. He said with a smile, "Now the people who respond to this matter are the professors of Guangzhou Fuxue, the teachings of the two county schools of Panyu and Xiangshan counties in the South China Sea, and many other instructors, and I don't have time to consult the joint signatures one by one." If Professor Zhao really doesn't want to. Of course, I'm not reluctant. It's just that the first assistant has overshadowed the official school by the flood of private learning, and has always had a lot of complaints, although the Chaozhou Mansion School looks quite strict on the outside, but I have just traveled all the way, and many places have been a little decadent, so it is better to persuade those wealthy businessmen in Chaozhou to donate one or two, and then invite a few Confucians to come and give lectures, so that those talents will not only come to a point. Seeing no one all day long, Professor Zhao can also have a few more achievements in education. ”
Is this a quid pro quo?
Professor Zhao thought about it urgently for a while, thinking that he had seen all the performances, Zhou Kang was certainly not small, and his official position was not low, but if he could really help Wang Fulin bring this down, so that the Chaozhou Mansion could have a few more talents in each Dao test, not to mention political achievements. The gratitude of the scholars and those big families in this house is always indispensable, and he is a little moved. And if the Chaozhou Mansion School can be renovated. If he invites a few more Confucian scholars who can calm the scene, he will not be an instructor on the surface, and he will actually have a little more power, not to mention his political achievements.
"Master Wang, if this matter is to be successful, the word secrecy is crucial."
Wang Fulin knew that the other party was worried about the leakage of news. will be immediately retaliated against by Zhou Kang, and he immediately smiled: "Of course, the reason why I have been able to do certain things since I took office is precisely because I acted secretly and did not leak the slightest rumor in advance?" As long as Professor Zhao is tight-lipped. Then there is absolutely no need to worry. ”
Speaking of this, Professor Zhao took a deep breath, as if he was on the battlefield, and said impassionedly: "It is a matter of education, and it is the duty of the subordinate officials to sign it!" ”
Master Feng couldn't help but look down on Professor Zhao for what he said nicely, but in fact, it was for the sake of interests and political achievements that he agreed to advance and retreat together, and when he accompanied Wang Fulin to quietly leave Chaozhou Mansion to study, he nagged about the Haiyang County Xueluo he knew, saying that this person was cynical and upright, and he would never be like Professor Zhao. Sure enough, when he went to Haiyang County to study next, after seeing that Luo Jiao, Wang Fulin found that this Luo Jiao was better than what Master Feng had described, and as soon as he heard him say that he was impeaching Zhou Kang, the deputy envoy of the school, he didn't even ask for specific details, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves.
In the words of this Luo Jiao, if it weren't for his incompetence, Zhou Kang, the deputy envoy of the school, who sells his reputation and reputation, would have been impeached 800 times a long time ago!
After visiting these two sides, but before the execution time of three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Fulin came to a relatively secluded street in the city under the guidance of Master Feng - this is called Fugui Street, although the name is vulgar, but it lives in the Huang family, one of the best in Chaozhou Prefecture. Compared with the Guangfu businessmen, the Huang family is also in business, and for their children to study, the Ming Dynasty has produced several jinshi for more than 100 years, and there are often people, and Xiucai is even more graspy.
Now the fourth master of the Huang family, the brother of Huang Qi's mother, after taking the Xiucai exam in the early years, he was frustrated in the two township exams, and he died down. A few days ago, Master Huang Qi, who had been presiding over the overall situation in Haojing, came back, and the brothers mentioned the posture of the Cantonese Merchants Gang, and the Huang Qi Master couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have reminded the trio of the Cantonese Merchants Gang who arrived that night, but before Wang Fulin only stayed for one day in Chaozhou Mansion and went straight to Nanao, they could only sigh with admiration, this time Wang Fulin killed a horse pistol again, and today Lin Daoqian, a well-known pirate leader from Chaozhou Mansion, will also be stabbed in the court, they can't help but feel that the situation is more urgent.
Since Wang Fulin has been to Zhelin and Nanao, he should be quite familiar with the private trade between the two places, will he raise a knife to kill chickens and monkeys because the attitude of the Chaozhou merchants is not as active as the Guangfu merchants?
The brothers had a headache when they thought of this, but they went to Feng's house to visit Wang Fulin yesterday evening but were blocked out, and they could only sit and sigh in the tent room at this time. At this moment, Master Huang Qi only heard a small servant outside whispering: "Seventh Master, someone claims to be your old friend and specially comes to visit." ”
Friends? He has a lot of friends in the business field, but when people want to visit, they will always play the banner openly, so they hide and only pull out the two words of old friends, what does that mean?
Master Huang Qi was suspicious in his heart, it could be seen that his brother was thinking hard about countermeasures, he thought that there was nothing to do now anyway, so he simply stood up and said, "Fourth brother, then I'll go out and have a look." ”
The Huang family is a big family in Chaozhou Mansion, not more difficult than the heirs of the Pan family in Guangfu, and now there are a total of three rooms and twelve branches, and the people are so prosperous that relatives can't recognize each other. Therefore, when Master Huang Qi walked all the way out, he was still wondering if it was a relative of his family who came to fight the autumn breeze. However, when he came to the gatehouse and saw the two people who were pointing at the gatehouse, his face changed suddenly, and his originally steady and calm steps suddenly became fast, and he rushed directly to the visitor like a young man.
Wang Ye was about to blurt out the two words, but Huang Qi suddenly remembered that Wang Fulin didn't let the door report, so when he spoke, he said vaguely: "What kind of wind is blowing you here?" ”
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you naturally have a request for the Seventh Master." Wang Fulin replied with a smile, and seeing that Master Huang Qi invited each other without saying a word, he entered the door with Master Feng. But Master Huang Qi did not immediately follow to lead the way, but ordered the porter not to discuss, let alone spread the word, and even sent a small servant, so that all the idle people along the way retreated to the house and were not allowed to go out casually, so he took Wang Fulin and Master Feng to see his brother. Such a strange order naturally alarmed Huang Si Master, and when everyone came, he was already waiting at the door of the courtyard where the tent was located.
As soon as they met, Master Huang Qi walked quickly to his brother's side and explained Wang Fulin's identity in a low voice. At this moment, Master Huang Si suddenly realized in his heart, and hurriedly invited people into the tent room with a smile on his face, and then he actually instructed Master Huang Qi to make tea himself, and he waited until Wang Fulin sat down first.
Compared with some generations of scholars in the southeast, the Huang family has a long history, but it is not guaranteed that every generation can go out of the jinshi, not to mention that there are many branches, and the cohesion may not be guaranteed. It is precisely because of this that as the current head of the Yanzhi family, Huang Si has to lower his posture towards Wang Fulin, the patrol of the ten mansions-this is also related to Wang Fulin's very low-key attitude here.
And Wang Fulin got straight to the point, first put forward a request to ask the Huang family to take the lead in rebuilding the Chaozhou Mansion School, and invited the Great Confucian to give lectures in the Mansion, for this kind of thing that is very beneficial to the reputation of the family, the fourth master of Huang naturally agreed without saying a word, only when Wang Fulin hinted that Professor Zhao would come to raise funds at that time, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Wang Fulin did not stay in the Chaozhou Mansion for a long time, and would give Professor Zhao such a big benefit. After glancing at Master Feng, he vaguely understood something, but he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he immediately nodded happily.
After this small transaction at the beginning came to an end, Wang Fulin said with a smile: "I think the two of you should know that the imperial court will set up Taiwan County in the east this time." However, Dongfan has been lonely overseas for many years, and this time Du Xianling and others sailed away, and they inevitably needed a lot of materials. It just so happened that Mr. Lu Gongzi, Mr. Zheng, Du Xianggong and others and the warriors I recruited had obtained a lot of property from the theft, so I wanted to discuss with the Huang family. ”
PS: There are also two more today...... The first is to ask for a double monthly pass, thank you all (to be continued.) )
