My life skills in Daming Liver

This time the magistrate came to the county to give lectures, and Su Ze gained a new skill and a calligraphy. By the way, he gained his reputation among the scholars in Yanping Prefecture and Nanping County again.

Fang Zhifu gained the reputation of loving the people like a son, and also gained the reputation of supporting the backward.

The students of Hai Rui's Anton Mansion and the Academy had meritorious deeds, and the magistrate's yamen couldn't directly reward him, but the gentry present all expressed their willingness to donate money to renovate the county school.

This lecture can be said to be that Qin Shihuang ate pepper and won numbness.

After sending Fang Zhifu away, Hai Rui finally spared the afternoon to lecture on Confucian classics to the four of them.

After listening to the class for two hours, the imperial examination experience +20, Su Ze's imperial examination skills have reached Lv4, 70/400.

At this rate, he will soon be able to reach level five.

When the class was over, Hai Rui called Su Ze to the study room, and he asked, "Have you chosen the five classics you want to treat?"

Su Ze had already thought about the answer, and he immediately said, "Teacher, I'm going to treat "Spring and Autumn"."

Hai Rui was not surprised by Su Ze's choice. "Spring and Autumn" is the most difficult to treat among the five classics, but it is easy for someone like Su Ze.

He has a solid foundation in the Four Books, and his recitation and understanding of the scriptures are good, and it is more than enough to pass the boy's test.

Chunqiu has a lot of words, but recitation is also Su Ze's advantage.

Hai Rui said: "Today, Chancellor Chen donated a set of Four Books and Five Classics to the county school. Let's take it back and copy it during the Spring and Autumn Period."

Su Ze was overjoyed. Originally, he planned to stay in the county school for one more day and copy more books back home, but now Hai Rui actually lent the books to him to copy back.

"Thank you teacher."

Hai Rui said: "Chen Shanchang donated the book because the magistrate rewarded you. However, Chen Shanchang doesn't approve of your academics. He is a direct descendant of Xinxue. During the time when the academy was studying in the county, you should It’s better not to publicize that set of common people’s daily learning.”

Su Ze nodded quickly. He didn't have the idea of ​​"lecturing" skills for the time being. He was not even a scholar, so how could he give lectures to a group of scholars.

Seeing that Su Ze didn't want to forcefully promote the academics of the Taizhou School, Hai Rui felt relieved and encouraged him, "You should study hard, you should be able to take the pilot test in a few years, and it won't be too late to promote it by then."

Fang Zhifu returned to the mansion, today Mrs. Li went to play the horse crane again, Fang Zhifu and his daughter sat at the table, today's dishes were all light vegetarian dishes, this made Fang Zhifu who likes meat eat a little stomach ache.

At first glance, these exquisite materials are handled by my daughter. My daughter is very talented. Whether it is the female red embroidery of the daughter's family, or the man's classics and literature, they are all quite outstanding.

In comparison, his son is much less effective.

Fang Zhifu also secretly regretted that if his daughter was a man, she really had hope of being admitted to Jinshi.

Mrs. Li often went out to play horses, and all the affairs in the house were handled by her daughter.

I'm going to the county school today, and my daughter is clamoring to go.

The daughter of the dignified magistrate's family disguised herself as a man to go to a group of men's county schools. If word got out, Fang Zhifu's official would not be an official.

Fang Zhifu sternly rejected his daughter, and there was this all-vegetarian feast tonight.

"Lan'er, isn't today's meal a bit vegetarian?"

Fang Ruolan said with a slight smile: "My lord, last time Huang Tiju from Huimin Pharmacy took your pulse. Didn't it mean that your blood is stagnant and you need to eat less meat?"

Fang Zhifu had a bitter face, and Fang Ruolan said again: "Also, you should drink less of this wine. The last time I drank with Uncle Kong Shi, I gave away my daughter's handwritten anthology."

Fang Zhifu was defeated, his daughter was eccentric, and the only wife who could suppress her was still playing the horse hanging.

Fang Zhifu had a bitter face and was about to have dinner.

Fang Ruolan clapped her hands, and a rough servant girl brought a night's maroon soup to the table.

"What's this?"

Fang Zhifu's face immediately turned pale. A few days ago, her daughter Fang Ruolan was obsessed with diet therapy and health preservation. Not only did she force herself to drink these health-preserving medicinal soups every day, she also forced herself to make up the life insurance money of Huimin Pharmacy. The pharmacy is tossing and trying to make Huimin pharmacy famous.

Fang Zhifu had been a county magistrate, so he naturally knew the crux of the failure of these welfare institutions.

This is not something that can be revived with just one or two sums of life insurance money. The government offices of the Ming Dynasty were very tight in funds, and making up for the life insurance money of the Huimin Pharmacy was already the best effort I could do within my purview.

If you want to allocate more money, there are still so many rooms in the magistrate's yamen without office funds.

How many years have there been no money to repair the irrigation projects in the mansion? How long has the official road been leveled?

Many houses in this magistrate's yamen are still leaking in rainy days!

Which yamen in the Ming Dynasty was not like this.

Fang Zhifu didn't want to pour cold water on his daughter, so he temporarily let her go to Huimin Pharmacy.

When the pharmacy is really exhausted, it will give some more funds to make it the same as before, and it will be enough to survive half-dead.

When the Shangguan comes to inspect, then arrest some civilians from the streets and doctors from private clinics, and pretend that the pharmacy is prosperous.

"Lan'er, what is this? Last time I drank the herbal tea for my father, but it took me two days to vomit. I won't test the medicine for you this time!"

Fang Rulan's pretty face flushed, what happened last time was an accident, the pharmacy made a mistake in transcribing the prescription, and copied peas into croton, which caused her father to have diarrhea for a few days.

Fang Rulan said with a straight face: "Father, do you not believe in your daughter's cooking skills? From then on, I won't care about cooking."

Fang Zhifu's face was even uglier. His wife was on a horse-sling all day long, and the whole house was run by her daughter. What would she do if she left the burden alone.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhifu looked at the maroon soup and said, "Just drink it for your father!"

After speaking, Fang Zhifu picked up the bowl, then took a deep breath and drank it.

What's the matter with the sweet and sour taste and refreshing taste?

Fang Zhifu suddenly discovered that this scary-looking maroon-red sweet soup tastes quite good.

Fang Zhifu couldn't help but took another sip, it really tasted good, much better than the hot drinks made by the family in summer!

"Father, how do you like the taste?"

"Delicious!"

In fact, Fang Ruolan had already tasted sour plum soup herself, but she wanted to hear objective opinions, and Fang Zhifu became the object of tasting.

"Do you think you can make some money selling this sweet soup at Huimin Pharmacy?"

"Sell sweet soup? Is it troublesome to make this sweet soup? How much does it cost?"

Fang Ruolan said: "The cost is not high, it's nothing more than some common medicinal materials such as ebony cottage. The bowl that Dad and He made has rock sugar added. If you sell it at the pharmacy, you can use brown sugar. If you really can't, you can use cochin brown sugar."

Hearing that the cost is not high, Fang Zhifu stroked his beard and said:

"The weather is getting hotter, so you can try it."

Fang Ruolan said again: "Father, every time the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau administers medicine, people from the Bawang Society go to loot it, and you, the prefect, don't care about it?"

Fang Zhifu said helplessly: "How can I, the prefect, take care of this civil matter."

Fang Ruolan said: "If my daughter's business is robbed, don't you care about it?"

Fang Zhifu sighed and said: "Then how about I send two minzhuang to Huimin Pharmacy to maintain order?"

Fang Ruolan said with a happy smile: "Then Lan'er will thank father for the people benefited by Huimin Pharmacy. Oh, by the way, there is another dish that I forgot to serve. Come here quickly."

The maid next to Fang Ruolan went down immediately, and a delicious meat dish was brought up after a while.

Fang Zhifu had nothing to do with this daughter, the father and daughter had dinner, Fang Zhifu drank sour plum soup, and talked about what he had seen and heard at the county school today.

Fang Ruolan asked in surprise: "There is actually a scholar in Nanping County who knows Wang Taizhou's knowledge?"

Fang Zhifu stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes, this Changning Wei Su Ze is a good seed for a scholar, but he is a little late in his studies. It shouldn't be a big problem to be a scholar before the age of thirty."

"Changningwei? Su Ze?"

Fang Ruolan thought of that prescription, what a coincidence?

Fang Zhifu didn't notice anything unusual about his daughter, so he continued: "Today I gave him a name, Lan'er, you are right, the gentry in Yanping Mansion are complicated, and scholars with a clean background like Su Ze are recruited."

It was difficult for prefecture and county rights in the Ming Dynasty to enter the countryside, and scholars were an important part of grassroots governance.

For example, Changningwei has a scholar like Su Ze, so Su Ze can almost be regarded as Changningwei's talker.

The scholars in each village and ri are the most important link at the grassroots level.

They were required to publicize imperial decrees, adjudicate disputes in the countryside, draft contract documents, and entrust land yamen to carry out the Qingzhang’s land yamen.

Fang Zhifu was the first magistrate, but he was somewhat ambitious.

Fang Ruolan said: "If Dad really likes this Su Ze, he can push him in the imperial examination."

Fang Zhifu looked at his daughter unexpectedly, he stroked his beard and said, "There is no need for this way, this Su Ze is quick-witted, it is not difficult to pass the exam, but whether he can be a Jinshi depends on chance."

"Dad thinks so much of him?"

This time Fang Ruolan was surprised. You must know that although her father's handwriting is not good-looking, he is a bit sloppy in his work, and he likes to drink too much to make mistakes, but he is also a Jinshi.

As the top questioner in the Ming Dynasty, Fang Zhifu's evaluation can be said to be very high.

Fang Zhifu told his daughter what he heard today, "Before a sage speaks, he follows the phenomena of the sky", and Fang Ruolan also fell silent.

"Sure enough!" Fang Ruolan said.

Fang Zhifu nodded and said: "This kind of talent can be famous all over the world even if you don't get a Jinshi."

After saying this, Fang Zhifu secretly looked at his daughter.

If so, this Su Ze seems to be a good son-in-law?

With her own daughter's personality, it would be difficult for her to marry into a big family with strict rules.

Both of Su Ze's parents have passed away, and he is alone. If Lan'er marries, she doesn't have to serve her in-laws.

Fang Zhifu shook his head, let's talk about it after Su Ze has passed the boy's exam. He is a dignified Jinshi, the prefect of Yanping Prefecture, and he can't marry his daughter to an ordinary military household.

There was nothing to say all night, Su Ze and the other four finished the class and returned home.

When Su Ze returned to Changningwei, he passed by the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, only to see that there were two large vats at the door, offering sour plum soup and herbal tea to passers-by for free.

There were two armed guards standing next to the vat. Su Ze felt that his guess was correct. The woman in brocade clothes who disguised herself as a man was of extraordinary status, and she was able to mobilize the government's Minzhuang to help her maintain order.

If I sell herbal tea and sour plum soup in the county, I am afraid that I will be exploited by the gangster clubs.

However, both the sour plum soup and the herbal tea needed sugar. When the business of Huimin Pharmacy got up, Su Ze could contact them and sell Changningwei's sugar to them.

Riding Hai Rui's rough horse, he returned to Changningwei in less than half a day.

[Riding a Yunnan horse, riding skill +10, Lv1, 46/100]

As soon as he arrived in front of Changning Guard, Su Ze saw Lin Xianyang looking at the gate of Changning Guard.

When Lin Xianyang saw Su Ze, he immediately went up to meet him.

"Brother Aze, my father is waiting for you to discuss matters in the ancestral hall!"

Su Ze handed over the horse to Lin Xianyang, and walked into the ancestral hall by himself, only to see the old grandpa, nine aunts and Lin Baihu all sitting in the hall.

Seeing Su Ze coming, the old man said, "I sent a letter from the general manager. Our Changningwei is a hereditary hundred-household house. First pay two hundred taels and go to Yushi's side."

Sure enough, Yan Maoqing plucked the wild goose, regardless of whether it was a big or small household.

It's just that Xu Shisheng didn't stand in front of Yan Maoqing this time, and Changningwei paid 200 taels of silver according to the normal standard of 100 households.

Although two hundred taels of silver was a lot, it was much less than the five hundred taels recorded in the family tree before crossing.

It is impossible for the current Changning Guard to rebel immediately, and the money that should be paid still has to be paid.

Yan Maoqing's name, Su Ze, has already been written down, and he must ask him for it if he has the opportunity in the future.

Seeing that Su Ze didn't object, the old man said, "The ancestral hall and hundreds of households have pooled the money. Let Xianyang bring the money to Fuzhou City?"

Su Ze nodded. Now Su Ze has a high prestige among the young people in Changningwei. The old man wants to spend money to eliminate the disaster, but he is afraid that Su Ze will be too young and will not compromise.

Su Ze didn't object, and the matter was over, and the old man was relieved.

After talking about Yan Maoqing's extortion, Lin Mojun said:

"As there is an urgent military situation in the letter from the general manager, King Lu has already entered the sea and is sweeping up the Japanese pirates under the command of Captain Wufeng. After the rainy season is over, he may invade Fujian."

The ancestral hall fell silent. King Lu was Lin Mojun's most direct enemy of killing his father. Even if Lin Mojun didn't mention revenge for his father, Changning Guard, as a coastal guard, would definitely obey orders and send the chief to fight.

This time the enemy is not the county magistrate who is strong, but the vicious real Japanese.

For the past few days, Lin Mojun has been training with the soldiers of the guard and the rest of the army to use the blunderbuss, but Lin Mojun still has no idea. If King Lu really invades, can the Changning Guard be able to resist it?

According to the genealogy records of the previous life, King Lu only joined the bandits in December at the end of the year, but now the history has been changed by Su Ze, and it is not known whether this time will be brought forward.

But Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that King Deer would not join the bandits until after the rainy season.

Isn't there still time?

It is only May now, and there is still more than half a year to go. Su Ze is confident that he can train the bird gun team and train a strong army for the Changning Guard.

Lin Mojun said to Su Ze in a tone of asking for help: "This gunslinger is different from many types of arms. After practicing these days, I still can't get it right. I still have to ask Brother Aze to do it."

Lin Mojun's request was exactly what Su Ze thought.

Su Ze was about to take a good look at his "Art of War" and "Imperial Examination" skills. He said to Lin Mojun:

"Starting tomorrow, I will go to the school grounds to assist hundreds of households in their military training."
