Chapter 6 Please borrow the county gazetteer to read
Wang Xiaoniang was triumphant, her eyebrows were raised high, and she was very happy to make things difficult. In fact, in her heart, whether the Fang family owes thirty taels or fifty taels, there is not much difference, just a happy tongue. Anyway, he can't afford to pay it back, and Zuihou can only pay off his debts with his body.
Fang Yingwu was a few steps away from her, this little girl was beautiful, she would never be provoked, and if she wasn't careful, she would fall forever.
Immediately, he refuted with "righteousness and strict words": "If people have no faith, they will not stand, so the rules are not more than agreements!" How my father wrote an IOU, how to repay the debt, there is no reason for you to add money halfway! โ
This is very incomprehensible, which makes Wang Xiaoniang feel disgraced. It's just a joke, and she doesn't really want to increase interest, she was very aggrieved in her heart, and said angrily: "Anyway, a month later will be when the debt is due!" Hello for yourself! โ
After that, Wang Xiaoniang greeted the old slave, and then left.
Show sรจ not to eat. Leaving the food is good to look back at the dishes on the table, now he doesn't have the courage to "not eat that comes from the mouth", and he pays more attention to food than women.
But at this time, there was someone else standing at the table, it was the middle-aged man who came with the little lady of the Wang family, but he was very embarrassed.
Fang Yingwu guessed a few points, this person did not know him, this time he probably wanted to visit him, so he wanted to let the little lady of the Wang family introduce him in the middle. But the middleman ran away before he could complete the task, so wouldn't he be embarrassed to stay here?
Fang Yingwu reluctantly shook his head, arched his hand and saluted: "What do you call Your Excellency?" โ
"My surname is Wang, and I am from Huaxi Village in the neighboring village." The middle-aged man returned the courtesy.
Fang Yingwu asked suspiciously: "What do you call Your Excellency and Wang Dahu Wang Yuanwai?" โ
"Cousins of the Nai clan"
"It turned out to be Uncle Wang, please take a seat." Fang Yingwu asked. The upper, middle and lower villages of Huaxi have different surnames, and there are many in-laws, so it is appropriate to call Uncle Wang.
There were no stools, the table was carried to the edge of the bed, and the two sat on the edge of the bed eating and talking.
It turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Wang Kui, and he usually did not work as a farmer at home, but cooperated with others in the county town to run a small grocery store, which was a small merchant who was slightly stronger than a small trader.
This morning, he went to Shanghuaxi Village to visit his relatives. happened to hear that Fang Xiucai's son and uncle were splitting up, because he knew the entanglement between his niece and Fang Yingwu, he immediately became interested in this matter, so he went to the ancestral hall to watch the process.
Fang Yingwu didn't know what Wang Kui came to visit for, but he knew that these foods must have been sent by Wang Kui, and the little lady of the Wang family was not such a careful person.
Wang Kui's knowledge is still a little more than that of the ordinary mountain villagers around, and when it comes to things in the county, he has even heard about the stories of his neighbors. "Chun'an County is located in a remote place in western Zhejiang, and then to the west is the Huizhou Mansion of Nanzhili, and I think the virtuous nephew has also heard of it. In recent years, the atmosphere has been a little different from what it used to be. โ
It turned out that the west of Chun'an County was out of the provincial border, and Fang Yingwu asked when he heard this: "What's the difference?" โ
Wang Kui said with emotion: "There are many people in Huizhou Mansion who go out to do business, and in recent years, the number of people has become more and more numerous, and the atmosphere has become more and more intense. โ
Fang Yingwu reacted immediately, these people Wang Kui said dared to be famous Hui businessmen in history. But he also knows that in today's Chenghua years, it has not yet reached the heyday of Huizhou merchants, and it can be regarded as the embryonic period at most.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty has only been established for more than 100 years, and the atmosphere of valuing agriculture and suppressing business has just loosened, but business will flourish in the future. Fang Yingwu casually asserted: "His generation has a great future, and in a hundred years, he will be the leader of the Jiangnan businessmen." โ
When Wang Kui heard this, he felt that it was a bit exaggerated and too exaggerated. But he could also hear Fang Yingwu's optimism, so he said tentatively: "What does Fang Jiaxian's nephew think about the businessman's business?" โ
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied: "No agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich." โ
"No business, no rich, well said! Would you be interested in partnering with me? Wang Kui took over and said.
Business? That wasn't the future he wanted. Fang Yingwu didn't want to shirk and said: "My family is surrounded by four walls, and I have no money to spare, so I can't partner with Uncle Wang." โ
Wang Kui eagerly invited: "Partnership is not only a way to contribute capital, but also to make people, as long as you are willing to contribute, you can naturally get part of the shares." With your talent, you are wronged by living in the village, why not go out and have a look?
What's more, the virtuous nephew does have talent in this area, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door to invite him. Today, in the ancestral hall, the virtuous nephew talks about profit and arithmetic, and his eloquence is convenient and sensitive, and he is breathtaking.
And when dealing with your uncle, first induce him to be ugly, and then calmly fight back, it is also quite tricky, and even the pawnshop profit market knows, it is really a perfect candidate for help. Hongo has such a character as a virtuous nephew, how can I miss it? โ
Fang Yingwu believes in Wang Kui's sincerity, when he needs to use manpower when he goes out to do business in these years, who doesn't pull a few people from the same township and clan to do it? Only in this way can it be reliable and reassuring, which is also the reason for the rise of regional xing business gangs.
If he was in the Jiajing Wanli Dynasty, Fang Yingwu might have agreed, but not now. He is familiar with the materials of Ming history, and naturally knows some social development processes.
A few decades later, when the commercial atmosphere was on the rise, it was fashionable to be half-Confucian and half-commercial, but although the social atmosphere of the Chenghua Dynasty had begun to loosen, it was still in the process of transmutation, and it was far less open than it was more than a hundred years later. At present, it is still a very non-mainstream thing for a scholar to do business, and if you want to be a scholar, you should not do business, you will be despised and ostracized.
Wang Kui thought that Fang Yingwu was worried about not making money, and explained the business opportunity: "Isn't the virtuous nephew worried that he can't make money? Listen to me, although our Chun'an County is located in a remote area, the county is full of mountains and mountains, and the roads are impassable, but there are also a lot of water flows. It is located in the upper reaches of the Xin'an River, and the downstream leads directly to the Qiantang River to Hangzhou, the distance is only 300 miles, and the ship is extremely convenient, and it is not difficult to transport goods.
The neighboring Huizhou Prefecture is all trafficking tea and timber out of the country, and it is very profitable, and we have tea and timber here, can't we follow suit? At least it is not a problem to transport it to Hangzhou. โ
Fang Yingwu also agreed with Wang Kui's analysis. Although he didn't know much about the situation in his county, after all, the study of Ming history in his previous life was more of a macro aspect, and it was impossible to read all the local chronicles, especially Chun'an County, a small county that was not famous.
But Fang Yingwu could hear that what Wang Kui said was very reasonable. The fact that there are specialties in the mountains and the convenient waterways with a metropolis like Hangzhou are the biggest business opportunities.
This Wang Kui showed such great sincerity, Fang Yingwu couldn't open it when he saw it, so he had to answer truthfully: "I can't hide it, I follow my father's example and take the road of fame, so Uncle Wang's kindness can only be understood!" If you don't succeed in the future, you can't expect Uncle Wang to give you a few bowls of rice to eat. โ
Wang Kui guessed and guessed, but he didn't guess that Fang Yingwu planned to take the meritorious test, and said in surprise: "Virtuous nephew Yu devotes himself to the industry? โ
Seeing that Wang Kui's expression of disbelief, Fang Yingwu was very unhappy, and the arrogance in his heart was touched again. This is clearly to think that he will not be able to get ahead on this road, and he is too underestimated. Then he asked, "What?" Uncle Wang thinks it's impossible? โ
Wang Kui frowned and scratched his head, this question was not easy to answer positively, so he knocked on the side and said: "It's not impossible for the virtuous nephew, but I don't know if the virtuous nephew has considered it, this road to fame is full of difficulties and obstacles." In fact, it is equivalent to a kind of big gamble, and it doesn't matter if the rich don't hesitate to spend their money. But if people who are not wealthy are too attached to this, it is easy to lose all their money and become poor. โ
What Wang Kui said, how could Fang Yingwu not know? However, he hasn't thought too far ahead, his short-term goal is just to mix up the status of a showman, and then wait and see what happens next.
Fang Yingwu is not a fantasy, he also has his certainty. First of all, I went to social studies for seven years in my life and received a relatively complete classical education, which is relatively outstanding in social studies; Secondly, the memories and insights of the previous life are still there. The combination of the two at least has the possibility of impacting the show.
Of course, his greatest grasp lies in the "unique" environment around him. In his previous life, he was a person who had read all kinds of historical materials, and he knew that in the Ming Dynasty, there were many poor mountainous counties with closed transportation, which were not only sparsely populated, but also extremely backward in culture and education, and his opportunity was in this.
In this kind of place, there are very few people who can read and read well, and even as long as they can write a few smooth articles, they are often pulled into the county school by the magistrate to become a student and show talent. Although strictly speaking, the procedures are often very non-standardized, but the indoctrination is related to the performance of the magistrates, so it is not so much to care.
According to Fang Yingwu's observation, the place he is in is also in the mountains, which is probably the situation where the admission rate of students is very high. It can be said that this is Fang Yingwu's biggest confidence or belief at present!
If he was in Suzhou and Ji'an, the most famous imperial examination powerhouses, where thousands of people applied for the primary county examination, he would have lost confidence for a long time. Those places are really thousands of soldiers, and the final admission rate of county schools is less than one percent all year round, why does he fight with others for relationships and literary talents? Find another way before it's too late.
However, Chun'an County is only a small mountainous county, and the level of education is not even comparable to that of a normal county. So for the test Xiucai, Fang Yingwu has already made up his mind, no matter what, he must try it, and break through the three levels of the county test, the government test, and the hospital test, otherwise he will not be willing in this life.
If you can really get into the show, the road in this life will be very good. Even if you can't lift people, you can do many things, such as plagiarizing poetry and becoming famous; For example, boiling qualifications to become an old tribute student, going to Guozijian to study and elect officials; For example, relying on the status of a scholar to take over the lawsuit and receive benefits
Wang Kui shook his head, as if he saw a person who had gone astray, and the other party said sincerely: "Virtuous nephew listen to my advice, although it is only a show talent, but it is also a thousand difficulties and dangers, your father forgot to sleep and eat back then, and then added the luck of paying heaven to be able to go to school, which also damaged part of the family business." You must not be so obsessed with this that you waste your livelihood by throwing a desperate gamble on this. โ
Fang Yingwu felt that Wang Kui's words were wrong, he was simply looking at people through the cracks in the door, and he looked down on people. Someone else is someone else, but he's not an ordinary person!
He has received seven years of classical education, nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school education, and six years of university education, and is an expert in Ming history and social history in the Ming Dynasty.
Although he has a specialization in the art industry, he is not the best at writing eight shares and taking the imperial examination, and he will definitely not be able to compete with the top imperial examination in the country, but it should not be difficult to take the examination in such a small mountainous county.
Fang Yingwu then said proudly: "Don't hide it from Uncle Wang, I don't dare to say it in a big place with a prosperous literary style, I still have six or seven percent confidence in going to school in this county, and it's worth trying." โ
How dare he say that he is six or seven percent sure? Wang Kui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in extreme shock: "The virtuous nephew is arrogant, and it is definitely not a thing in the pool!" Strong, strong! โ
Fang Yingwu was a little incredible, and this Wang Kui's reaction seemed to be a little excessive.
Seeing Wang Kui caressing his beard again, he sighed: "I think that since Li Tang in Chun'an County, the imperial examination has been prosperous and there are many talents. I have read the records of the county chronicles, and there have been 200 jinshi in the past dynasties.
Since the establishment of the National Dynasty alone, there have been 30 Jinshi in Chun'an County, especially since the Yongle Dynasty, almost every list has two or three Jinshi from Chun'an.
And now the head of the dynasty is also our Chun'an County Renshou Township Zhishan people, in the orthodox years of the three yuan, more glory of our county!
But those are all from other townships, and we have never had a Wenkui on both sides of Huaxi. I really admire the courage and audacity of the virtuous nephew! It's a pity that there is no good wine here, otherwise it would be a great white to be a virtuous nephew and a meritorious person! โ
Two hundred? Thirty? Two or three per list? A few drops of sweat quietly seeped out of Fang Yingwu's forehead, and his heart was crying
He didn't know that a small mountainous county like Chun'an should be very backward in education and culture, how could it be so terrifying and perverted? This is not scientific, so that he who does not grasp the situation has completely misjudged.
He knows even the great god of Shang Zhen in Sanyuan, but he ignores that Shang Zhen is also from Chun'an.
It is a pity that although Fang Yingwu is through the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to exhaust all the local historical records in the vast sea. He was overconfident, but he didn't expect that things have both universal and special xing, and Chun'an County, where he is located, is a special one
At the same time, the memory of this life is fragmented, and the knowledge of living in a deep mountain village is also very narrow, and there is really a lack of relevant information.
At this time, Fang Yingwu had no thinking ability, and just wanted to scold the street regardless of decency.
He thought it was easy mode to turn on, but who knew it was the hardest mode; He thought that he had reincarnated in a place that stood out from the crowd, but who knew that this obscure and inconspicuous county was actually a super death group.
What are you kidding, there are only two or three hundred Jinshi in the country, and there can be two or three Chun'an counties every time, what is the ratio? What is this level of education?
No wonder Wang Kui is very optimistic about himself taking the road of fame, not to look down on himself, but the competition in the county has been fierce to the point of inhumanity, and the probability of becoming a god is indeed too low.
If the county is full of scholars who can be admitted to the Jinshi casually, then their grasp of being a talent in the examination is simply a frog and arrogant.
The future was bleak, Fang Yingwu sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, speechless for a long time. The chopsticks in his hand fell out of his hand unconsciously, and just at this time, a thunderclap sounded in the sky.
"Just to talk, why did you drop your chopsticks?" Wang Kui asked strangely.
Fang Yingwu wiped his sweat, "I was shocked by the thunder." โ
Wang Kui was even more surprised, "A fearless warrior like you is also afraid of thunder?" โ
Fang Yingwu didn't continue to talk about the topic of thunder, and forced the scene to say: "Low-key, low-key, don't spread the word about me." Please borrow the prefectural gazetteer first. โ
"Oh, do you want to play a pig and eat a tiger in a low-key manner to get a blockbuster effect, I'm looking forward to the day when my nephew shocks the whole county." Wang Kui was enlightened.
