Chapter 373: Drip

The moon on the fourteenth night of April was already full, and it sprinkled the infinite silver light.

The moon was crushed by the rippling river and scattered, and the surface of the river was dotted with phosphorescence.

An official boat was in a hurry, missed the pier, and could only anchor at the river.

The red lantern was hung up, shining on the signs standing on the bow of the ship, with a few big characters written on them: "Inspector of Schools" and "Ying Tianxue Political Yamen". Looking at these signboards, as long as you are a scholar, you can know that this is the official ship of the examiners sent by the central government to Yingtian's mansion to preside over the 40-year Jiajing Academy Examination, and the university politician is sitting in the boat.

This is a section of the Grand Canal located in Yangzhou, although it is located in an inland river, but by the Yangtze River estuary side of the river agitation, the boat still gently ripples, making a low "squeak" sound.

There were babies in the cabin who had probably been woken up by the jolt, and let out a high-pitched cry.

At the bow of the ship stood two young men, a man and a woman, the man at the head of whom was dressed in a Confucian shirt, about twenty years old, with sparse eyebrows. As for the woman, her facial features were dignified, and she was slightly fat, plump and fair-skinned.

Hearing the child's cry, the woman was taken aback: "Master, my son is awake, and the concubine will go over to take a look." ”

This person is Moth, and the young man in his early twenties is Wu Jie.

Wu Jieyi grabbed the moth's hand: "Don't care, there is a nurse, it's useless if you go." You're just too spoiled as a child. He's a man, so he has to be free-range. In my opinion, when you are weaned, you don't even need a nurse, and you can directly hand it over to the third belt, which is more manly. ”

"Give it to Lao Lian...... "Moth cried out in fright: "Lao Lian's rough hands, how tender his son is!" ”

"You don't understand." Wu Jie smiled gently: "Born in the courtyard of a deep house, grown up in the hands of a woman, what can I do in the future." Men have to be poor and understand the hardships of life. It will be achieved in the future. The so-called heaven will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones. Starve its skin. ”

"Sir!" Moth cried out dissatisfiedly: "You always talk in a set way, and it's like giving birth to a son, if the concubine gives birth to a daughter, I don't know what to be bullied by you?" ”

Wu Jie smiled: "If it's a daughter, it's natural to be pampered." The so-called sons are poor, and daughters are rich. Only by being rich will you not be deceived by poor boys. ”

Moth snorted and laughed: "There is also this strange saying, weren't you also a poor boy at the beginning, why did you deceive your concubine?" ”

Wu Jie laughed. My son was born in June last year, and now he is almost a year old and has not yet learned to walk. This guy is just like the, born skinny. It doesn't look like he's in good shape either. The problem is that the moth gained weight after giving birth. This kid doesn't grow meat alive or dead, which makes people worry.

Although Wu Jie is a twenty-year-old young man on the surface, he is an old ghost who is almost thirty years old in his soul. Now it has its own blood in this plane. Naturally, there was a big surprise in my heart. But he also knows that this era is full of hardships and storms. Of course, he can take care of him for the rest of his life, but his life is limited, no matter how long he lives, he is in his early nineties. The way of children and grandchildren has to be walked by themselves, and because of this. Wu Jie never spoiled his son, and gave him the name "Wu Qiang".

The first is to let his son be self-reliant. Second, it can be regarded as a commemoration of his life in modern society, which is why he used this name with modern characteristics.

To be honest, the name is really cheesy, and it has made Moth unhappy for a long time.

He came to the south this time, ostensibly to preside over the academic administration of the Tianfu Academy, but in fact, he also received a secret decree to supervise Hu Zongxian's war against the Japanese invaders.

It is said that the front-line war was not fought well and was in a state of anxiety, which made Jiajing very annoyed.

After so many years of warfare, tens of millions of taels of silver were filled in the military expenses, but neither sound was heard. Now, the imperial court has used the gold system of Wu Jie, allowing the army to collect commercial taxes in the local area on its own, unloading a big burden, and finally taking a breath.

However, the power of the army has further expanded, and there are gradually signs that the tail will not be lost.

Wu Jie's original intention of offering this system was to allow the army to raise enough money and food in a short period of time so as to solve the rebellion as soon as possible.

But I never expected that once the army tasted the sweetness, it would not be able to fight hard, for fear that once there was no enemy, the gold would be abolished and such a big source of wealth would be lost.

This is also something that Wu Jie did not expect, which may not be without Yan Song's instructions, as long as the battle continues, the imperial court will have a place to borrow his strict party.

According to the real historical records, just last May the southeast should have won a hearty victory. At this point, the power of the Japanese was lost, and they gradually became powerful, and finally they were wiped out by Qi Jiguang and others in one fell swoop.

But I never expected that the war would drag on because of this factor, and there is no end to it until now.

This made the emperor thoroughly annoyed, and wondered if Wu Jie's system of lijin had the opposite effect.

This is a major event related to Wu Jie's future career, once the emperor realizes that Li Jin is not only helpless and the smooth settlement of the war, but drags the war into a sticky pot, Wu Jie's future can be regarded as coming to an end.

At this time, Wu Jie felt that his political literacy was not enough, many things were just taken for granted, in terms of ability, he was an ordinary modern white-collar worker, and he was not as good as the politicians of his time.

Fortunately, the emperor asked Wu Jie to come to Tianfu to preside over the hospital examination, and inspected the defense of the southeast, urging Hu Zongxian to resolve the battle as soon as possible. This gave Wu Jie a chance, as long as he could use the shortest possible time to let Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang eliminate the Japanese and abolish the Li Jin. He Wu Jie not only has no fault, but has merit.

Today's Wu Jie is already compiled by the Hanlin Academy, the emperor's closest personal secretary, and the future is bright. In the future, he will be put on the local government to be a few feudal officials, and it will not be a problem to enter the cabinet.

For the country, for the people, and for himself, he will come for a trip.

Hu Zongxian's Zhezhi Governor Yamen was originally located in Hangzhou, but what kind of person is Hu Daren, an old man in the political arena, how can he leave the central place to stay in Hangzhou. Therefore, out of the 365 days a year, more than 200 days stay in Nanjing to manage his own network.

From last year's Chinese New Year to the present, in April, Hu Daren has not organized a large-scale campaign, Wu Jie decided to go to Nanjing to meet him, and then persuade him, casually presided over the hospital examination.

Mozi has always said that she wants to go back to her hometown in Nanjing, and this time she just took the two of them out to relax.

Besides, Lu Chang and Lu Shuang, two siblings, are also in Nanjing. Lu Fatzi's guy is now the judge of the salt envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he has made a fortune in the past two years, but he likes the prosperity and weather of Nanjing, and he has been staying there and refuses to live in Yangzhou.

Therefore, Wu Jie pounced in Yangzhou and rushed to Nanjing, missed the pier, and could only stop halfway.

Hearing what Mozi said, Wu Jie touched his forehead and said with a smile: "We were really poor back then, but fortunately, we have come through ups and downs, and we have a son, so life is finally a little tasteful." Or, let's have another daughter. ”

Mozi spat on him: "Just giving birth to Qiang'er will make the concubine die in pain, I don't want to give birth anymore, I want to live, let Sister Tang live." ”

Wu Jie thought of Tang Mi's sweetness in his heart, and suddenly remembered that when he was leaving, Li Shizhen said that Miss Tang was also pregnant, and it was estimated that she was a girl.

This...... This made Wu Jie a little flustered in his heart, a monk was pregnant, and it was not good for this to get out, so he had to find a way to marry her into the door as soon as possible. Otherwise, I, Wu Jie, will wait to be impeached by the imperial envoys as a pig's head.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone on the shore shouted: "Which master is on the boat, ask to see him and say something." ”

There was arrogance in his tone.

Wu Jie was strange in his heart, it was said that he was on an official ship, and ordinary people were afraid to avoid it, why was this person not afraid, but came to the door and shouted loudly? (To be continued......)
