The next morning, Zhang Mu was talking and laughing with Wang Hongtai, discussing the details of the house test.

The hospital examination is the last level of the children's examination, if the hospital has passed, it will get rid of the identity of a child, become a talent, and be eligible to participate in the autumn of this autumn.

Zhang Mu's county and government exams are very smooth, and the next hospital exam, there is not much of a problem, after all, Zhang Mu at this moment already knows the eight strands.

The form of the hospital examination is also different from the county examination and the government examination, and the invigilator of the hospital examination is invigilated by most of the emperor's hand-picked scholars, so it is also called the Taoist examination.

In order to take care of candidates, the test will be held in different regions and time periods, but it generally ends two months before the autumn season.

Because there are many candidates in a province, and it is not easy to go out in ancient times, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, it will generally be divided into eastern Zhejiang, and western Zhejiang will be held separately, and eastern Zhejiang will be concentrated in Hangzhou for the exam, and western Zhejiang will be in Taizhou.

Jinhua Mansion is close to Hangzhou, so the examination is held in Hangzhou, and the time is generally in mid-May, while the Taizhou Academy Examination is generally in late May.

As soon as Wang Hongtai left, he entered the room sternly and excitedly, with a happy face, and when he saw Zhang Mu, he knelt on the ground and said: "The lowly Jinyi Weiqi is strict to test a hundred households, and knock on Zhang Baihu." ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly got up to help him up, knowing in his heart that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, because of the merit of strict rescue, so he was promoted to a hundred households in an exceptional way, from the sixth grade, the official position is only under Zhang Mu.

"You and my brother, don't come to this. What about Yan Su? Zhang Mu saw that the door was empty, and asked with some loss in his heart.

"Grandpa is not well, she is serving at home." Said sternly.

"What's the reward she's gotten?" Zhang Mu asked.

Yan whispered: "It's strange to say, Yan Su didn't reward her official position, but His Majesty rewarded her with a lot of playthings in the palace, a treasure knife, by the way, there is a bracelet of Bodhi seeds inlaid with gold and jade, saying that it is you and Yan Su alone." ”

"Bracelets?" Zhang Mu pondered for a long time, but didn't see such a thing in the holy decree? Hurriedly said: "Bring what His Majesty rewarded yesterday." ”

The servant hurriedly held it over, there were two brocade boxes rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday, one brocade box contained python robes and jade belts, and the other brocade box contained official uniforms, official seals, tooth tags and other things, Zhang Mu had not opened it yet.

After letting people open it, sure enough, Zhang Mu saw that on the edge of the brocade box with the official seal, there was a sandalwood box, after opening, there was a string of rosaries lying quietly inside, the rosary was carved with high-grade mutton fat jade hollow, inlaid with gold threads, and in each rosary, there was a Bodhi, which was the craftsmanship in the palace, ingenious.

When Zhang Mu saw this, he probably guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's mind in his heart, he could see Yan **'er's body, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not see it?

Therefore, Yan Su was not given an official position, so he was promoted to strictness, and he became a trial hundred, which is equivalent to being strict and receiving two rewards from two people.

As for this string of prayer beads, he and Yan Su have them, they are a couple, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang has the intention of marrying, but he may think that Zhang Mu is still young, so he didn't say anything.

That's why Yan Yongnian didn't let Yan Su continue to protect Zhang Mu, in the end, there is a difference between men and women, so Yan Su didn't come.

Seeing Yan Su all day long, although the two of them often quarrel and quarrel, they have to clean up Zhang Mu at every turn, but when Yan Su is not around, Zhang Mu's heart is a little lost.

"Lord Zhang, Your Majesty has given me full authority to listen to your scheduling, what are we going to do next?" Yan Yan has just become a Jinyi guard, so he is naturally very excited and ready to do a big job.

Zhang Mu came back to his senses and said: "In the future, when you are with me, don't be too big and too short." Let's still call you according to the old name, I call you Brother Shaodu, and you still call me Brother Shepherd. Otherwise, it will be too much. Zhang Mu said with a smile.

The ancients generally had surnames, names, and characters.

For example, Zhang Mu, surnamed Zhang, name Mu, word Muzhi.

Generally, peers or colleagues call each other, they must shout the word, that is, Zhang Muzhi, this is a big name, Zhang Mu is a small name, only elders can call Zhang Mu, otherwise outsiders call Zhang Mu, it is equivalent to scolding.

The strict word Shaodui, now that he has an official position, he can no longer be called indiscriminately, so he has to call him Shaodui.

"Okay, Brother Muzhi, what do you say we should do next?" Stern asked.

Zhang Mu looked at such a hot-blooded young man as strict, and he was anxious to make contributions, just like a stunned youth.

In later generations, all units also fooled college students who had just gone for internships, and they were the most easily fooled, so they smiled and said, "Shaodui, you have to be calm." I believe that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Jinyiwei have already gotten the news. It is estimated that we will come to us soon, and now our task is to eat and drink, and do nothing. ”

"Don't you talk about the three fires of the Qing official? Why don't we do anything? Stern asked.

"In terms of martial arts, I am inferior to you, but in terms of people's hearts, you are definitely inferior to me. We are now officials, not soldiers, so we have just been promoted, and the best way to do this is to stay put. First look at the depth of this with a cold eye, and then go to the fire after finding out the situation, otherwise be careful to set yourself on fire. It is also easy to be used as a gun. Zhang Mu admonished.

He nodded sternly and slowly, and said with a virtue that was better than ten years of reading books: "No wonder my grandfather asked me to learn more from you." ”

"I ask you, how much do you know about the Wakos?" Zhang Mu asked.

Stern sat down and opened his mouth: "Wokou, it's Dongying people." Every year in May and June, they will come by boat, but they fight every year, and they make trouble every year. It's weird too. ”

"Are all the Japanese from Dongying or are there Han Chinese?" Zhang Mu asked.

"There are mostly people in Dongying, but there are also some displaced people. However, there are very few of them. Most of them plundered along the coast once, and then changed places, which was a headache. Stern explained.

When Zhang Mu heard this, he said: "In the past few days, you have to go to Hangzhou for me, gather all our Jinyi guards here, and say that I want to meet them." ”

"Brother Muzhi, don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow." Said sternly.

Zhang Mu secretly pondered in his heart that the Ming Dynasty was a confidant, and the fundamental reason was that the Ming Dynasty closed the sea and forbade it.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the plates were not allowed to enter the sea, but the demand for maritime trade was strong, and the people on the southeast coast took the sea as their field and closed the sea, what did they eat?

Of course, this is because Meng Yuan in the north has been eyeing the tiger, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't spare his hand to deal with the southeast Japanese invaders, mainly because he has no money to build a powerful sailor and seal the sea, which has become a helpless move.

Although Lan Yu won a complete victory in the 21st year of Hongwu's northern expedition to Mobei, Mengyuan's arrogance was still very arrogant, so that after Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he made five personal expeditions, moved the capital to Beijing, and the Son of Heaven guarded the country, until the middle and late Ming Dynasty Mengyuan gradually calmed down.

Compared with the Japanese in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, most of the Japanese in the Hongwu Dynasty were real Japanese ronin, and one of the important interests was driven by silver.

Because China is not a silver-producing country, most of the common people use copper coins, and even use iron coins, while Japan is a silver-producing country, and silver has been exchanged for silk and grain, and now the sea is closed, and Zhu Yuanzhang does not allow silver to circulate, they can only rob, so there are Japanese in the early Ming Dynasty.

If you want to completely solve this problem, you can only open the customs, in fact, it proves that the Ming Dynasty only had the Ming Dynasty in the early and middle and late Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he went to the South Seas six times, opened a few treaty ports, and the Japanese were gone, which can explain the reason.

But Zhang Mu himself knows that he is soft-spoken, so he should not easily challenge things that he is not sure of, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

Thinking of cleaning up the small 1 book a day, Zhang Mu was a little sharpened, and pondered in his heart: "I can finally take revenge." ”
