Hai Rui was mentally prepared, but what he saw was a cozy room.

There are two wooden bunk beds on the east and west walls of the room, and two wooden desks in the middle. The three teenagers were reading and copying with candles in the room, the pen and ink books on the table were meticulously placed, the floor was spotless, and the room was filled with a fragrance.

The teenagers were a little curious about the guests brought by Ding Junming, put down the books in their hands, and got up to salute.

"This guest officer is afraid that there is no place to spend the night, so I happened to be on duty at night, so I asked him to sleep in my bed." Ding Junming said to Hai Rui again: "If the guest officer wants to read a book before going to bed, he can also use my seat and pen, ink and paper. ”

Another teenager stepped forward and helped Hai Rui put his luggage, telling him which things were public and could be used at will.

Hai Rui was almost stunned.

Although the room looks cramped with four people, it is a small sparrow with all the organs, and it has everything it should have. And because the teenagers are reading silently, there is quite a bit of book aroma, which makes people feel comfortable.

"It's a great place! Very good! Hai Rui was quite satisfied.

Ding Junming settled Hai Rui and said, "If the guest officer has anything, you can tell a few of them." Brother Chen, please help me go outside for a while, and I'll help this guest officer's entourage arrange a place. ”

The young man surnamed Chen got up and said with a smile: "It's better for you to be on duty, I should also go to the warehouse to inspect, there is a bed on duty there that is empty, so that the chief of the guest officer can sleep there." ”

"That's exactly what I meant." Ding Junming smiled and went out with the young man.

Hai Rui tried to sit on this bed, which was quite comfortable, and he couldn't help but lift the mat and see that it was a brown bandage underneath, which was soft and hard. Although brown silk is not worth much in Jiangnan, a bed that is so finely woven is not cheap either. He looked overhead. It's also a brown wooden frame, and I heard that one is called the store manager and the other is a buddy, but there is no difference between the top and bottom, which is surprising.

Hai Rui got up again to look at the books that the teenagers were reading, and was quite surprised. No one is reading pastime novels, and no one is reading the writings of sages. The two people in the house, one is watching "The Biography of the Goods", and the other is watching "Yu Lao". The books on the tables of the other two were also different, Ding Junming's desk was mostly arithmetic problems and account books, but the young man who went to inspect the warehouse seemed to be writing something by himself.

Hai Rui's self-identification is that of the governor of the Ten Prefectures, and the positioning of these teenagers is that of the guys in the store, who goes to look through what others write with peace of mind. However, in the eyes of the teenager. It's just rude. Embarrassed to speak out, one of them said, "Is Mr. a scholar?" ”

Hai Rui raised his head for some reason, tried to be gentle, and said, "Exactly." ”

The young man smiled and said: "Tang suddenly asks for advice, please give me advice: Taishi Gong's so-called Su Feng, I don't know how many people are in Guangdong?" ”

Sima Qian called those who did not have an official position and were knighted, and who became rich through business and cultivation, and who were able to compete with the officials. The plain sealers have been endless. So far, there are many. As for asking Guangdong and not asking the rest, it was because the boy heard Hai Rui's Cantonese accent.

"I'm originally from Qiongzhou. Guangdong Province can be called a vegetarian seal, mostly in Guangzhou, and little is known about this. Hai Rui said.

Qiongzhou is on Hainan Island, separated from the mainland by a strait, unlike Susong, which is convenient to travel to.

Although Hai Jui is lifting people, there are also differences in lifting people. The Ming Dynasty did not collect much from the taxes paid in the border areas. Therefore, in places like Qiongzhou that are prone to trouble, the wind of treachery among the people is far less serious than that in Susong and other places in Jiangnan.

The people don't send tricks, and the grain tax goes to the imperial court, so naturally there is no way to generate income.

What's more, Hai Rui has been passing on the family style of "integrity and honesty" since his father and mother, so he doesn't like to associate with high-ranking officials and nobles in Guangzhou Mansion. Even the relatives of the family are not happy to socialize - the Qiongzhou Hai family is a family of eunuchs.

Hai Rui's grandfather, Hai Kuan, served as the magistrate of Songxi County, Fujian Province after the middle lift. Among the uncles, there are four people: Haicheng, Hailan, Haipeng, and Haimai, of which Haicheng officials went to Sichuan to supervise the imperial history, and the other three also won the promotion. Although his father Haihan died early, he was also a first-class student.

Such a family background, coupled with a stubborn character, makes future generations quite controversial about whether Hai Jui is poor or not.

Call him poor, and indeed he is poor. He refused to accept the unspoken rules of officialdom, and only relied on Yulu to eat, and his mother only went to the street to cut two catties of meat on her 70th birthday, which turned out to be news. After the death of his office, there were only a few books on the four walls of the family, which was really a breeze on his sleeves.

However, it makes sense to say that he is not poor, Hai Rui married his wife three times and took two concubines, even in Jiangnan, he is already a winner in life.

"I heard that Guangzhou is also a rich place that is not inferior to Su Song, and I dare to ask Mr. about local customs figures." The young man got up and moved a chair for Hai Rui, wiped it clean, and invited him to take a seat. Another boy went to bring hot water, because he didn't drink tea at night, to moisten his throat.

Hai Rui's son died early, and his knees were empty, and at this time there was a sense of warmth, like a loving father, he talked about the geography and people of Guangzhou, Panyu, and how his ancestors arrived in Guangzhou in official dialect with Cantonese accents.

He thought that as long as he didn't report the name "Hai Rui", no one would know, and he thought that these teenagers did not understand the Ming official system, so he casually said that his ancestor was the "commander of the Guangzhou Left Guard" when the country was founded.

That's a high-ranking military attache of the third grade.

If you want to say that the three-grade civil officials at that time, I am afraid it is difficult to investigate in detail, but the high-ranking military attachés are very easy to investigate. In particular, the military attache of the rank of the commander of the Guangzhou Left Guard was only 369 when Taizu founded the country.

If we compare the number of founding lieutenant generals and major generals of the later republics, it may be more intuitive. There were one hundred and seventy-five lieutenant generals and seven hundred and ninety-eight major generals in the founding of the Republic. It can be seen that the status of the commander of the Guangdong Left Guard is slightly lower than that of the lieutenant general, but quite higher than that of the major general.

Qiongzhou Mansion people, but a little poor, talk extraordinary, especially good bearing, since the ancestors are the commander of the left guard in Guangzhou......

Ding Junming originally just kindly let Hai Rui sleep in his own bed, but he came back with his roommate to communicate, and Xiao Xi Nu Ah Lian said that he missed Hai Rui's "lifting people" fame, and all kinds of information came together, making him feel that this guest officer was not simple, so he quickly wrote a letter, and sent someone back to Xia Wei as soon as the sky was bright.

Hai Rui still didn't know that he was being watched, so he was not in a hurry to leave the next day, and wanted to pay a private visit in Tangxing. He has been a magistrate in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and has served as the governor of the state judge, the household department, and the military department.

Jiangnan is especially different from other places, and has not yet separated from the agrarian society, but it has shown the characteristics of the end of the industry is prosperous and above agriculture.

This made Hai Rui very eager to start with Tang Xing and carefully observe the operation of this emerging end-of-life society.

Of course, his aim was to find the faults and then get rid of them.

As everyone knows, when the letter arrived in Xia Wei, Xu Yuanzuo connected all kinds of labels at a glance: just the people of Qiongzhou Mansion and the poor people, and the Jiangnan of Longqing in the third summer of Longqing, that chilling and admirable name was about to come out - Hai Rui really came.
