In late May, a large number of students began to gather in Nanjing, the business of the inn restaurant is booming, the golden season that the businessmen are looking forward to has finally arrived, only once in three years, many businessmen have saved up their strength, of course, it is not only the inn and the restaurant that is hot, but also the Qinhuai River that gets the greatest benefit. Scholars have always liked the things of the wind and snow, and they are proud of being praised by the Qinglou girl, which is also because of the influence of the stories of many talented and beautiful women.

Qin Huaihe is also ready, the girls in Qinglou still have dreams, although such dreams are too slim, they don't want to become the ladies of the scholars, and being able to become concubines is also the most satisfying ending, but unfortunately such a story, the final ending is not the description in the opera, and most of them end with the concubine being ruthless.

Who knows who among these scholars will be promoted, and then go to the capital, and finally be named on the gold list.

Therefore, the many shopkeepers and bustards of Qinhuaihe will never despise every scholar who comes.

Zheng Xunrui stayed out of the matter, and his mind was still on the training of the 800 strong men, as well as the harvest of maize and sweet potato.

Maize has achieved unimaginable success, the harvest per mu is about five stones, and all of them are full of grains, there is absolutely no problem in seed production, as for sweet potatoes, the harvest time is still in mid-June.

What is even more gratifying is that the rich gentry who bought maize seeds have all obtained a bumper harvest, and the harvest is more than three stones and five dendrobiums, far exceeding the yield of rice, which makes a large number of gentry and rich families flock to the Zheng family in Guli Town, asking to buy the seeds sown in the next year, the price of maize seeds is two taels of silver, and the income and input are very cost-effective.

This makes the sales of maize seeds without the slightest problem, and there is still a situation where there are not enough zài seeds.

Zheng Fugui began to get busy, going to the North Courtyard to make seeds, and no one was allowed to enter here.

Zheng Xunrui's expectation came true, just the sale of maize seeds can get more than 100,000 taels of silver, more than the original estimate of 90,000 taels of silver, and the supply exceeds demand, the gentry and wealthy families are the first to pay silver, waiting to get the seeds.

Zheng Xunrui is also not idle, and is responsible for cashing silver into gold, so that it is easy to collect.

The training of 800 heroes, the first stage is nearing the end, and the next is the regular training, which is easier than the first stage, unfortunately the weapons, cotton armor and war horses are not yet in place, of course, there is the biggest problem, that is, the 800 warriors have not yet experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and they are not considered real armies if they do not experience real fighting.

This qiē has to wait for the opportunity.

It's mid-June, and it's time to harvest sweet potatoes.

The congestion of the gentry and wealthy households appeared again, every five sweet potatoes were sold for ten taels of silver, and none of the merchants were too expensive, and many merchants even directly traded gold, but unfortunately there were not many sweet potato seeds, Zheng Fugui did not dare to let go of the sale, so he could only meet those old customers, leaving the seeds needed at home, and selling the rest to some new customers.

The sale of maize and sweet potato seeds did not cause much turmoil, after all, it was only in Guli Town and Taoli Town, in order to be able to keep it secret in order to obtain seeds from the Zheng family, these gentry and wealthy households would not publicize it, and the harvested maize and sweet potatoes were bought in Huguang and Sichuan, although each family harvested a lot, but it was actually shipped out, and there were not many of them.

This qiē is all expected by Zheng Xunrui, but the planting scale will be expanded in the coming year, if it is a high school test in another country, many situations will change, at that time, in his family, there can be a nursing home, these nursing homes are used to protect the family, is allowed by the imperial court, as for the number of restrictions, it doesn't matter, many large gentry and wealthy families, thousands of nursing homes are a common situation.

By the end of June, Zheng Xunrui was finally a little more relaxed, and Zheng Fugui could barely breathe a sigh of relief.

Less than two months away from the township test, Nanjing is very lively, and the scholars are busy partying and visiting the Qinhuai River, like Zheng Xunrui, who has been at home all the time, almost none. In fact, Zheng Xunrui knew that he still attended some parties in the end.

What is supposed to come is what is going to come.

On the first day of the seventh month, Yang Tingshu came to his home, and he told Zheng Xunrui, Zhang Pu, Wu Weiye, Wu Changshi, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Chen Zilong and others to come to Nanjing to participate in the township test.

The party did not talk about the exchange of knowledge, and it seems that Zhang Pu is still wise.

Such a gathering, of course, is concerned by many readers, but unfortunately, ordinary readers are not qualified to participate, and Zhang Pu will not invite others.

More than half a year has passed, Zhang Pu's fame has become greater, and the Restoration Society has become more and more prosperous, faintly indicating the meaning of the country and influencing the government, which has made the court begin to pay attention.

The time of the meeting was the fifth day of the seventh month, and it was impossible for Zheng Xunrui to refuse.

But he felt bad.

"Brother Huaidou, you have withdrawn from Yingshe, this matter has a certain impact, I heard that Brother Tianru and Brother Zichang have a great opinion of you, and they are almost going to break off their friendship with you."

"It's a decision I made on my own, and even if someone wants to cut ties with me, I don't regret it."

"The influence of the Restoration Society is getting bigger and bigger, I rarely go out, I have heard discussions, it is said that the relationship between the Restoration Society and Donglin Academy is very close, what do you think of this matter?"

Yang Tingshu thought for a moment and quickly spoke.

"I know you're going to ask, I'm not optimistic about this kind of situation, Brother Tianru is still a scholar, and he has to take the township exam, the guild exam and even the palace exam, but he is bent on the Fushe, the Fushe now has more than 5,000 members, and it has long surpassed the scale of the Ying Society, and the influence is greater than that of the Ying Society, and now the Fu Society and Donglin Academy faintly have the meaning of union, such a situation, the imperial court cannot ignore it."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly.

"It's too much, Brother Tianru will definitely pay the price for his actions, I remember you said, the emperor is most disgusted is the friend, during the Apocalypse, the eunuch party troubled the government, after the emperor ascended the throne, he did not hesitate to clean up, and now the union of Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, is not there the momentum of the eunuch party."

Yang Tingshu's eyes widened and he looked at Zheng Xunrui.

"Brother Huaidou, you don't have to look at me like this, I have already said that whether it is Donglin Academy or Fushe, they always have to make their voices, and they often talk about the government and the country, if they just talk about it, there is no problem, but unfortunately they think of more than just talking, they need to be recognized by the imperial court, and they need their concepts to be recognized, until the imperial court adopts their establishment, what happened in the first year of Chongzhen, you know, I don't need to say much, many propositions of Donglin Academy, It's all adopted, and they're hard to handle. ”

"Qingyang, do you think that the emperor and the imperial court will suppress Donglin Academy."

"In fact, this kind of action has already begun, but it's a pity that Brother Tianru didn't wake up, Mr. Qian is the cabinet minister elected by the Meibu ceremony, why was he removed from his official position and returned to his hometown, not to mention the cabinet minister, even the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed, do they really think that the emperor is not satisfied with the outcome of the Meibu ceremony."

"Qingyang, every time you analyze, you can make me feel empowered."

"I will just talk to you about these words, and I will never say them to anyone else."

Yang Tingshu nodded, was silent for a moment, and spoke again.

"Qingyang, more than half a year has passed, and some big things have happened in the court, I thought about it, and I still want to sue you."

After looking at Zheng Xunrui, Yang Tingshu did not pause.

"Remember Lord Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen killed Mao Wenlong in the second year, because the Houjin Tatar entered the pass and plundered, and was put in a prison by the emperor, it is said that it was the Houjin Tatar, Yuan Chonghuan's move has aroused the anger of the Chinese military minister of the DPRK, I am afraid it will be difficult to save his life."

"In addition, the anti-thieves in Shaanxi have invaded Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shanxi are in chaos, and the imperial court is trying to find a way to exterminate them, presumably the end of these anti-thieves is coming."

"The third thing, the cabinet has undergone a major adjustment, Lord Zhou Yanru has become the first assistant of the cabinet, and Lord Wen Tiren has also entered the cabinet and become the cabinet minister.

"Just now you talked about the Divination Ceremony, I thought of Mr. Qian, maybe what you said is right, Mr. Qian was deposed by the emperor, not only because of the matter of the Divination Ceremony." ……

Yang Tingshu left after eating, and when he left, he repeatedly emphasized the gathering on the fifth day of the seventh month, Zheng Xunrui nodded and promised, he would definitely participate when the time came, and Yang Tingshu was relieved to leave.

After Yang Tingshu left, Zheng Xunrui returned to the house and wrote down all the things that Yang Tingshu said, although he said that he graduated from the history department, but it was impossible to remember many specific things so clearly.

After writing down these things, Zheng Xunrui suddenly found that he had a serious negligence, that is, to obtain all aspects of the situation, even intelligence, now he seems to be trapped in Guli Town, he is at a loss about what is happening in the outside world, just relying on the memory of his previous life, this is definitely not good, who knows if he will have anything to do after he crosses, if he can't know the specific situation, or act according to the memory of his previous life, it is very likely to suffer a big loss.

However, if you want to obtain information from the outside world, where is the matter of lip service, this is a huge project, which requires countless energy and a lot of money, Zheng Xunrui currently does not have such ability.

At present, the biggest reliance can only be Yang Tingshu to obtain information from Yang Tingshu. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
