Chapter 125: Revised in March

On the first day of September in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor issued a holy decree, Zheng Xunrui was the prefect of Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi Province as the editor of Hanlin Academy, which heralded the end of Zheng Xunrui's career in the Hanlin Academy.

This matter became a joke in the imperial court, and everyone gave Zheng Xunrui his first nickname: March Revision.

This means that Zheng Xunrui has just served as a writer in the Hanlin Academy for three months, although he is still the identity of the Hanlin Writer, but the important responsibilities have been transferred to Yan'an Mansion, and it is impossible for people to stay in the capital, so they must rush to Yan'an Mansion to take office.

Before the holy decree was issued, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu had already drunk a lot of wine together, and later even Wu Weiye specially invited Zheng Xunrui to drink, and Shen Zhongren also specially organized the Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy to see Zheng Xunrui off.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui's main thoughts, not in terms of eating and drinking, he once put forward three requirements to the emperor, the first two requirements, the holy decree has been made clear, this holy decree is his Shang Fang sword, even if it is Shaanxi Governor Wu Fu, and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, it is not good to directly intervene in the affairs of Yan'an Mansion, of course, there is a good side to things, there is a negative side, first of all, the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, will definitely not be in Yan'an Mansion to exterminate the Liukou wholeheartedly, because there is no supply of grain and grass, followed by Wu Fu, the governor of Shaanxi, I am afraid that he will not give much money and food support to Yan'an Prefecture.

This qiē doesn't matter, Zheng Xunrui can naturally think of a good way.

In mid-August, after getting the news, Zheng Xunrui quickly wrote a letter to Zheng Jinhong and Yang He at home, clearly telling them that he would lead 900 nursing homes, of which 800 nursing homes rushed to Dafangshan near Fangshan County, and must arrive at the end of August to wait, and the other 100 nursing homes rushed directly to the capital.

The 800 Guardians waiting in Dafangshan, that is, the 800 Qingzhuang in Hongjiabao, these people were going to follow him to Shaanxi, and the other 100 people were responsible for escorting Wen Manshan and the others back to Jiangning County.

At the same time, these 800 nurses carried part of the maize and sweet potato seeds.

In the future, the family will leave 200 nursing homes, which will be directly responsible for their father Zheng Fugui, and their main tasks in the future will be to protect the Zheng family, and the second is to transport maize and sweet potato seeds every year.

Yang He, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui, Hong Xinyu, Zheng Jinhong and others all followed him to Shaanxi to take up their posts.

After arranging this qiē, Zheng Xunrui's main mind shifted to the 100,000 taels of silver that the household department wanted to give, but don't think that getting silver is such a simple thing, now in this year, asking for money is equivalent to life, the emperor once had no choice, and he took out the ginseng in the palace and sold it, which shows what kind of Cheng dù the imperial court is embarrassed.

But there is one thing that is very beneficial to Zheng Xunrui, and that is that he became a student of Xu Guangqi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet.

This is not ordinary news, everyone knows that the chief examiners of the palace examination are Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, it is said that Zheng Xunrui's mentor should be these two, but Xu Guangqi has also become Zheng Xunrui's mentor, and the relationship is naturally clear to everyone.

This shows that the relationship between Xu Guangqi and Zheng Xunrui is closer and more harmonious.

Don't look at Xu Guangqi as the second assistant of the cabinet, but he is the most trusted and relied on minister of the emperor, because of physical reasons, he is unwilling to serve as the cabinet to recover, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are fighting to the death, but they just don't dare to touch Xu Guangqi, because they know Xu Guangqi's prestige, and they also know Xu Guangqi's weight in the emperor's mind.

Xu Guangqi must have known the difficulty of allocating money from the household department, so after announcing that Zheng Xunrui was his student, regardless of physical reasons, he personally took Zheng Xunrui to the household department and directly found the household department Shangshu Bi to say to himself.

Bi Ziyan was appointed as the head of the household department in May of the first year of Chongzhen, and his qualifications were very old, and he would not care about the requirements of ordinary people, but Xu Guangqi's request, he could not refuse, and he still reluctantly agreed.

For the 100,000 taels of silver, Zheng Xunrui almost broke his leg, promised and got the silver, are two concepts, and 100,000 taels of silver, the volume is a bit huge, the best way is to carry the gold directly, which is much more convenient, and in the proportion of the huàn, Zheng Xunrui is obviously advantageous, according to the Hubian method of the household, it is one tael of gold for huàn ten taels of silver, but outside it is one tael of gold for huàn eleven taels of silver, or even twelve taels of silver, In this way, Zheng Xunrui can be regarded as taking a big advantage.

has been running until the end of August, Xu Guangqi helped to ask for the gold finally arrived, there was no deduction, 10,000 taels of gold are all in place, it is said that Bi Ziyan, who is in the household department, knows this matter, his face is distorted.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui still spent a lot, eating is indispensable, and it is also necessary to stuff some silver secretly, and it also cost more than 2,000 taels of silver, but this kind of payment, compared to the gold obtained, is simply a drop in the bucket, you must know that the treasury controlled by the Donglin Party, where the allocation of gold and silver, including grain and grass, has even reached a proportion of thirty percent, and the gold, silver, grain and grass that have been deducted naturally fell into the pockets of many officials.

After receiving the holy decree in the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Xunrui went straight home.

The family was ready, a hundred nursing homes had already arrived in the suburbs of Beijing to wait, a small number of nursing homes entered the capital, to help load and transport things, the five thousand taels of gold that they carried at the beginning, the cost was less than one percent, and the rest of the gold, Wen Manshan left five hundred taels for the expenses on the road, and the rest were all given to Zheng Xunrui, so that Zheng Xunrui could take them to Shaanxi.

Wen Manshan did not insist on following to Shaanxi, she knew the situation in Shaanxi, Zheng Xunrui said, Wen Zhenmeng also said, it is definitely not possible to go now, it is tantamount to adding chaos, but she is not willing to stay in the capital, there are not many things worthy of her affection here, once Zheng Xunrui leaves, her heart will become empty, maybe go back to Jiangning County, the situation will be better.

So when Zheng Xunrui went home, it was when Wen Manshan and the others set off.

Everyone was ready and silently walked outside the house to wait, leaving Zheng Xunrui and Wen Manshan in the house.

The two were still in the back garden, looking at the flowers that had not yet completely withered, and Wen Manshan's tears finally rolled down.

"Xianggong, the slave family is afraid, Shaanxi is so chaotic, Xianggong is very careful, if Xianggong has anything long and two short, the slave family will not live......"

"Don't worry, lady, I have eight hundred guards by my side, as well as Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xintao, there is no problem with safety, but I can't let you go to Shaanxi for the time being, I am very uneasy."

"The slave family must go, but he won't go now, if the slave family goes now, it will be a mess for the minister......"

Wen Manshan couldn't say any more, and rested her head on Zheng Xunrui's chest.

Zheng Xunrui gently patted Wen Manshan's back and did not speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Manshan, who appeared at the door, walked towards the carriage with a resolute look on her face.

Dongmei, Lotus Leaf, Yang Aizhen and others who were waiting outside had already become tearful people.

The carriage finally departed, Zheng Xunrui did not send it, he returned to the house alone, looking at the empty home that had been moved, he was a little distracted, there was something to gain and something to lose, and it was impossible to have the best of both worlds.

This night he can only stay with Yang Tingshu, the follow-up matters of the house, is also Yang Tingshu handled, early the next morning, he will leave the capital, rushed to Shaanxi, the capital is two thousand miles away from Yan'an Mansion is located in Fushi County, according to their speed, at most it is about five days, but this time the situation is different, Liukou's footprints are all over Yan'an Mansion, but also extended to Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, and the route he wants to walk is through Shanxi Datong and Taiyuan, Enter the lot under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture.

The team carried 14,000 taels of gold, as well as a large number of maize and sweet potato seeds, which must not be accidental, if these things were snatched by thieves, after Zheng Xunrui arrived in Yan'an Mansion, he was in a situation where there was no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, so in terms of arrangement, he finally made some changes, asking Yang He to lead a hundred guards to wait on the outskirts of Beijing.

The Beijing camp can also be escorted by sergeants, but this is a loss-making business, the expenses of these sergeants, Zheng Xunrui is responsible, these military uncles in the Beijing camp are not easy to greet, not to mention the high requirements, the speed of the march is similar to that of a snail every day, and the speed is not fast and likes to play music, who can afford such a sergeant.

When there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Zheng Xunrui found that his face was a little cold, and it turned out that he was also crying.

hurriedly wiped away his tears, turned around and saw Yang Tingshu coming in.

"Brother Huaidou, everything here is going to trouble you, and I will leave the capital tomorrow."

"Qingyang, in fact, you don't need to be in such a hurry, the holy decree just made today, you can go to office at the end of the year, just take a good rest in the capital."

"No, I also want to take a good rest, but it's really the harsh winter season, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble on the road, it's better to go to Shaanxi earlier, if you're lucky, you can appease the people well, and strive to come back early."

"That's a good thing, if you go earlier, you have to come back early, but it's useless to say anything, your reputation for this March revision is really spreading, and now you are not called Zheng Daren outside, all the March revisions, I think it is, there has not been such a situation in the DPRK, only three months of revision, I went to Fuzhou County, if you want me to say, it will not appear in the future, you see, you went to Fuzhou County, but there are so many Shuji people in the Hanlin Academy, and no one is willing to leave."

"It's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, so you don't have to force it."
