Chapter 646: Micro Serving
Nanjing's drunken gold fans, Zheng Xunrui is not used to it, to say that this person is rich, it should be enjoyed, but Nanjing's drunken gold fans are based on the fact that the scholars and merchants have obtained the interests of the imperial court and do not make the slightest contribution.
Thinking about the countless people in the north who sell their sons and daughters, and even eat human flesh, and then look at the drunken gold fans in Nanjing, people with a little conscience can't bear it, which can't help but remind Zheng Xunrui of Du Fu's famous poem: Zhumen wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones.
This situation must change, Zheng Xunrui has already tried in Huaibei, but it is all aimed at businessmen, and then he will target scholars, these scholars are real vested interests and should contribute.
Zheng Jinhong has arranged all the things to go to the Qinhuai River.
Xu Wanghua, Li Yan and Hong Xinyu followed Zheng Xunrui's side, and the four of them went to the Qinhuai River together, which would not arouse much suspicion, of course, around Zheng Xunrui, there were a hundred of the most elite personal soldiers, no matter what happened, they could rush to Zheng Xunrui's side in the shortest time and the fastest speed.
Zheng Xunrui is a private visit to Weifu, he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he must have a problem when he goes to the Qinhuai River with a big grin.
The rules of the Ming Dynasty are also strange, officials are not allowed to go to the Qinglou, but they can go to the Jiaofang Division of the government, to put it bluntly, it is the housekeeper's brothel, and the girls in the Jiaofang Division, whether it is in terms of origin or quality, are far stronger than the Qinglou. This is because of the rules set by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, all officials who commit crimes, their families must be assigned to the Department of Teaching as prostitutes, Zhu Di's hand is not only an insult to the officials themselves, but also to the families of the officials.
This rule has been continued.
The Workshop Division is arguably the richest place. The family members of the officials who were assigned to the Department of Education and Workshop could not get a penny of silver, and they had to accompany the smiling face every day, and they needed to have a certain identity to the Department of Education, officials could go, scholars could go, scholars could go, and later businessmen could also go, except that officials would not spend any money to go to the Department of Education. The rest of the people have invested a lot of money in the Teaching Division, making the Teaching Workshop Division richer than any Qinglou.
However, there are only so many officials who commit crimes, and because there are some connections between officials, once an official commits a crime, his family members also have good people to come out to protect them, unless you have committed a capital crime of great rebellion, and generally someone reaches out to help, and sometimes it costs some money. You can also avoid entering the Teaching Workshop Division, after all, everyone used to be colleagues. still has to take care of face, so the Teaching Workshop Division later recruited outstanding girls, and relied on the identity of the official family to compete with the Qinglou for outstanding girls.
There are all over the place under the Ministry of Education under the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, and the most famous Teaching Department is the Moling Teaching Department in Nanjing, and the Teaching Department in Suzhou. These two places are also the places with the most readers, and naturally there are many outstanding girls.
Nanjing Moling Jiaofang Division is known as the Fuller Academy, which is the most famous in the Qinhuai River, far surpassing the Shengze Guijia Courtyard where the Xu Fo family once served as the treasurer.
Zheng Xunrui also went to Fuller House.
The gathering of Qian Qianyi and others was also arranged in the Fuller Room. After all, this is the Nanjing Teaching Division, which is the most famous, and there are the most outstanding girls, of course, Qian Qianyi and others are also very famous, and Chen Yutai, the star of the palace examination list, participated, and three of the four sons of Donglin, it is not a big deal to invite Gu Hengbo, the most famous in Qinhuaihe, to come to Fuller Courtyard to help the fun.
The situation of the Fuller Academy, Xu Fo's family has long figured out, there are more than 200 courtesans, all of whom are in the music register, and now the most outstanding girl is Li Xiangjun, this so-called music album is actually the identity of the official prostitute.
During the Yongle period, the management of the Fuller House was very strict and ruthless, especially for those women who were assigned to the Department of Education, it can be said that there was not much personal freedom, they became a tool for the government to make money, and became a symbol of the court's insult to the offending officials, most of them were the family members of the officials, and this time it was so painful that it was even stipulated that these family members were not allowed to be buried after death.
However, during the Jiajing period, there were some changes in this situation, the fame of the Teaching Workshop Division is getting bigger and bigger, doing a profitable business, and there are more and more people who care about it, and some outstanding women have gradually gained status because of the popularity of everyone, and the officials of the Teaching Workshop Division dare not offend, and there are some women in the Teaching Workshop Division who have been favored by officials, and their identities are more special, so the management method of the Teaching Workshop Division has also changed.
In the year of the Apocalypse, the Jiaofang Division actually became the place that the Qinglou women yearn for, because the identities of the people here are not ordinary, most of them are scholars, businessmen or scholars, if they are lucky, they may be able to get out of the music and leave the Qinglou, so the identity of the Jiaofang Sile is noble for a while, and many Qinglou women have spent money, hoping to join the music membership.
At the time, Zheng Xunrui and others set off and headed for the Qinhuai River.
The carriage they were riding in was not at all inconspicuous from the outside, not much different from the carriage on the street, but it was different from the inside, with a retainer made of fine iron, and swords and bullets could not attack.
The carriage in which Xu Wanghua and Li Yan rode was in front, and the carriage in which Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu rode was in the back.
When entering Moling Town, Zheng Xunrui looked from the window in the direction of Zheng Jiajun's military camp.
"Young master, my subordinates have heard that there are people watching from afar around the barracks every day, and many people want to join the Zheng family's army, and there are even women here."
"Are you also thinking about going to the barracks to experience it?"
"The subordinates don't want to, the subordinates want to protect the young master's safety."
"Okay, don't be duplicitous, just think about it, but you've been by my side for so many years, I'm at ease with you, I don't need to think about safety, and I can't do without it."
There are more carriages around, these are going to the Qinhuai River, although the Spring Festival has passed not long ago, the climate is still a little cold, but this can't stop the enthusiasm of men.
The carriage paused slightly.
The coachman walked over to the trunk and spoke in a low voice.
"My lord, there are a lot of people who come to Fuller House tonight, and it is said that they are all thinking of going to see Qian Qianyi and the others."
Hong Xinyu pursed her mouth.
"Hmph, what is Qian Qianyi, what is there to look at an old man, I'm afraid I want to go to see Gu Hengbo and Li Xiangjun, I want to see a woman, but I don't dare to say it, it's really a fake Sven."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Hong Xinyu and couldn't help but smile.
"Hong Xinyu, I can't see it, you can still know the mystery."
"The subordinates follow the young master every day, if you can't see this strangeness, then you have been following the young master for all these years."
The road is not particularly wide, there are many carriages on the road, and congestion is inevitable, which also leads to the carriage stop-and-go, Zheng Xunrui is not in a hurry, and asks the coachmen not to worry, in fact, these coachmen are also dressed as soldiers.
There were also many horseback riders on the road, some were scholars, more were merchants, and scholars and doctors often rode in horse-drawn carriages.
This also allows Zheng Xunrui's personal soldiers to blend in and not be discovered.
Zheng Xunrui didn't expect so many people to go to the Qinhuai River, he shook his head several times, the situation in the north is dangerous, the imperial court is preparing to exterminate the Liukou, these news Nanjing is known, scholars, businessmen and scholars are also completely clear, but they don't care about the situation in the imperial court at all, and they still think about the affairs of the wind and snow.
Hong Xinyu said very accurately, these people rushed to the Fuller Theater, in fact, they wanted to be able to see Gu Hengbo and Li Xiangjun and others, you must know that the fame of taking care of Hengbo and Li Xiangjun is not something that every scholar and scholar can see.
When we were about to arrive at Fuller, the surroundings became more and more crowded, and the carriage could only move slowly.
Seeing such a situation, Zheng Xunrui simply got out of the carriage.
Soon, a circle was formed around Zheng Xunrui, there were people on horseback and people walking, and the faces of these people were familiar to Zheng Xunrui.
Xu Wanghua and Li Yan also came to Zheng Xunrui's side.
All three were wearing hats, and their faces were covered by black veils.
"Mr. Xu, Li Yan, I really didn't expect that there would be so many people going to the Qinhuai River."
"My lord, Qian Qianyi and others are gathering at the Fuller Theater, the news has already been released, the subordinates have just heard the report, and most of the people who rushed to the Fuller Courtyard are scholars, and probably many readers have been notified, so let's go and take a look."
"Qian Qianyi will spend his thoughts, taking advantage of such an opportunity to attract more readers."
"Actually, this is nothing, the four sons of Donglin often gather in the Qinhuai River, using what kind of poetry and literary society and so on, they through this method, so that more readers enter the Donglin Academy, Ying She and Fu Society, adults in the Huaibei area cleared the Donglin Academy, Fu She and Ying She, to Nanjing and Suzhou more readers."
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly.
"Mr. Xu, what you said is yes, I was indeed negligent in this regard, and I didn't think to try to attract readers, so that many readers joined Donglin Academy."
"My lord, my subordinates don't see it this way, the clear ones are turbid, if the scholars can recognize the situation clearly, they will not blindly join the Donglin Academy, the situation in Huaibei is completely different from here, many readers find that doing practical things is the best way to repay the results, the readers of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe know that they are boastful and indulged in their own theories, which also makes many aspiring readers see through."
"Mr. Xu, what you said is true, but a large number of people who read books are ignorant of the world, they don't know the suffering of the common people, and they think that they can eat the world with their mouths, and those who can afford to read books are still good at home after all, and we have to find a way to correct this situation in the future."
