Chapter 53 Tiger, Fox and Dog
Needless to say, they naturally chose to study.
[Having learned the skill "Literature", the combined evaluation level is Lv3, 1/00]
Unfortunately, Su Ze is now a graduate student and has been reduced to the level of a literature lover. If he was in the third year of high school, he could still be rated Lv4.
The skills that appeared this time gave Su Ze a new surprise. The skill level before time travel can also be counted as level experience!
As long as you can find the location where the skills are triggered, you can experience the scientific knowledge you learned in your previous life!
Just how can those skills like "physics" and "chemistry" be triggered?
There are no physical chemistry laboratories in this era?
Literature is good. Literature is a skill that includes many categories. Prose, poetry, drama, and even popular Chinese novels can all be classified as literature.
There has been a division between academia and literature in the Ming Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, famous political figures often played the role of writers. Occasionally, unsuccessful writers like Li Bai were often recruited by the court. Literature and politics are closely linked.
But by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, literature had gradually stepped down from the altar. With the development of the booming citizen economy, some literati who served ordinary people began to appear. The so-called "secular studies" and "emotional studies" made great achievements. With the development of China, full-time writers far away from the court and politics have emerged.
For example, Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu, the four most famous scholars in Wuzhong, have not been officials, but they still enjoy great reputation among the people. Tang Bohu's painting can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, and Zhu Zhishan's retouching fee can reach one tael of silver each. Character.
People in the Ming Dynasty almost had a star-chasing attitude towards talented people. From dignitaries to ordinary people, they were willing to donate money and land to support them. This was especially true in the Jiangnan area where literary style flourished.
If this skill is improved, it will be of great benefit whether it is making money or taking imperial examinations. Is it really impossible to copy "Dream of Red Mansions"?
Su Ze put away these messy thoughts and took his time to develop his liver skills. The top priority was Chang Ning Wei's "disaster".
The first is the patrol censor sent by the imperial court. This censor is already on his way, and the censor is a major matter for the imperial court. It is not Su Ze, who is not even a child, and ordinary people can intervene and influence it.
What was left was the county clerk Xu Shisheng mentioned in the family tree. Su Ze asked Hai Rui about this clerk.
Hai Rui stroked his beard and said,
"I have heard of this Xu Shisheng. He is a scribe in the Yahufang of Nanping County."
"Teacher, you have heard of it?"
Although Hai Rui refused to accept Su Ze as a disciple, Su Ze still addressed Hai Rui with the same etiquette as he would a teacher.
Privately, Hai Rui did not refuse. He nodded and said, "The Nanping County Government has a tiger, a fox, and three dogs." "
This Xu Shisheng is the 'fox' in the county government. This man is cunning and cunning. The three previous county magistrates have treated him badly." Entrusted with the important task of taking charge of the taxation of the county government."
Taxation is the first-class matter related to the assessment of local officials. The three county magistrates have entrusted the taxation to Xu Shisheng, which is enough to show that this guy has great influence in the county government. Influence.
It's a tough opponent!
Although the Changning Guard was a military guard, the Ming Dynasty was now a wealthy and powerful one. Yu Dayou had to bribe Shangguan to protect himself, not to mention that Lin Mojun was just a small household.
I just don't know what the grudge between Xu Shisheng and Chang Ningwei is, so Su Ze plans to ask his old grandpa when he goes back.
Su Ze also became interested in the situation in Nanping County Government. He asked, "Teacher, who are Yihu and Sangu?" Hai
Rui said, "Yihu is Li Hu, the leader of the Zhuang class. He was originally An idle Luohan Jiao from Nanping County was recruited into the Zhuang Ban by the former magistrate and took charge of Nanping County's civilian bravery. He once led fifty Zhuang Bans to repel hundreds of Japanese pirates, and was once commended by the government." "Li Hu is as strong as a tiger
. He has a character that hates evil, but he is cruel by nature. He often causes trouble in Nanping County because of his merits. The people are afraid of and rely on him, so he is called Tiger." So it turns out that
this Li Hu is also a heroic figure. "What about the three dogs?"
"The three dogs are the three brothers of the Chen family in Beishan. Now all three of them are serving in the county government. The three of them know how to bully the subordinates and flatter the superiors. They are as docile as dogs in front of the superiors and are extremely cruel to the common people. Nanping The people in the county despise them the most and call them the Three Dogs."
Hai Rui frowned and said,
"Didn't your Chang Ningwei defeat the Beishan Chen family in a battle with weapons? The three Chen brothers will retaliate, so you should be careful these days. "
Su Ze said quickly: "Thank you for the teacher's advice. I have to be careful when meeting these five people in the future."
Hai Rui continued: "Such cunning subordinates, as long as you pass the exam, you will not be in trouble. Officials and staff will not be in trouble." It's a matter of difference. Your main focus now should be on studying."
Su Ze nodded quickly, and then Hai Rui said:
"When you come to the county school in the middle of the month, I will discuss with you the key points of the county examination. If you have any questions when you go back to study, you can write them down and I will answer them for you."
Su Ze said sincerely, "Thank you, teacher."
After bidding farewell to Hai Rui, Su Ze met up with Lin Xianyang from the county school. Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang Xianyang asked:
"Brother Xianyang, is there a shop that forges ironware in the county?" "
Ironware? The ironworks in the county are expensive. We all bought wrought iron and went back to forge it."
Su Ze just wanted to improve his skills, so he said :
"We're going back today. It's already getting late. It's better to set off back to Changningwei tomorrow. I have several new tools and want to see if the county iron workshop can be built." After hearing Su Ze's explanation, Lin Xianyang said
this Only then did they dispel their doubts. Although there were blacksmiths in Changningwei, their craftsmanship was indeed indescribable, and the farm tools they made were only makeshift.
Lin Xianyang said: "We produce iron in Nanping, and there are many blacksmiths with good skills. However, the ironworks are basically outside the city. It is already getting late, so we have to leave early." Lin Xianyang took Su Ze out
. After entering the city, there was a row of houses near the city wall. Only thick black smoke could be seen floating from the chimneys, and a gust of wind blew over Su Ze's eyes.
Su Ze also didn't expect that Nanping's mining and iron industry would reach such a scale.
Lin Xianyang also said with some pride: "Nanping's iron crown is the best in Fujian! Before the Japanese pirates, there were still businessmen from Jiangnan who came to Nanping to buy iron. These were still small iron works. If you go to the mine, the sound of mining is endless day and night. , and there are official pits for thousands of people."
A pit is a mine, and an official pit is an official mine. Su Ze was surprised by the prosperity of industry and mining in Nanping, and he and Lin Xianyang visited several blacksmith shops and finally triggered the skill.
[I found the location "Iron Workshop" and can learn the skill "Blacksmithing". Do you want to learn it? 】
"Yes."
After finishing the iron workshop, Su Ze took Lin Xianyang to a sugar-making workshop, and learned the skill of "sugar-making" again.
The four of them stayed at the relatives' house for another night, and Su Ze struggled with the lice for another night. The next day, Su Ze yawned and finally set foot on the road back to Changning Guard.
