Borrow the day to change the day

Sometimes, history really has inertia.

Although because of Zhong Jinwei's appearance, the Peasant Army of the Qin Dynasty was fatally hit at the beginning, and Li Hongji was severely wanted, but the name Li Zicheng still appeared.If Zhong Jinwei knew this, he would probably say a few words with emotion.

However, the appearance of the traverser, and it is still a big butterfly like Zhong Jinwei, its energy is still huge.The wind blown by Zhong Jinwei has blown to the Jiangnan area and is slowly affecting everything here.

Unlike in history, the township examination in the Jiangnan area was held in Yingtianfu half a year earlier.Scholars from Jiangnan set off for the exam one after another.

Yingtianfu, commonly known as Nanjing and Jinling in ancient times, was the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the capital of Southern Zhili.All of a sudden, scholars gathered in restaurants and brothels in Nanjing, and from time to time one could hear reciting and singing of poems and poems from these places, as well as high-spirited discussions on current affairs and political affairs.

The ten-mile Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in Jinling.There are many brothels by the riverside, golden powder towers, row upon row; painting boats and boats, the sound of pulp, lights and shadows, a gathering of talents and merchants.

In this April, the willow trees sprouted, the peach trees bloomed, and a painting boat was parked on the bank of the Qinhuai River between the red flowers and the green willows.

There are several red lanterns hanging on the bow of the boat, and there is a word "Wang" on it, indicating that the boat is owned by Wang Xiaoda, a famous prostitute in Jinling and a good peacemaker, Wang Xiaoda.

Wang Xiaoda is not an ordinary prostitute. She was born in a famous family, but because of the changing world, she became a prostitute. Therefore, she has both talent and appearance, and she is a showman without selling herself, which attracts the pursuit of a group of literati.

No, the voices of some scholars can be heard from time to time in the painting boat, it sounds like they are discussing articles.

However, when they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the shore, they rushed out of the boat, and it was indeed the person they were expecting, and quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Xizhang."

This Mr. Xizhang got off his horse quickly, so that people can see clearly that this person has a dignified body and a dignified appearance.A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and two eyebrows were like paint, no matter who saw it, they would secretly praise Jun Geer.

He threw the reins directly to the accompanying servants, and then walked into the painting boat with a smile on his face while bowing his hands and saying: "Keep everyone waiting for a long time."

This person is Zhang Fu, the leader of Fushe, and the four people who greet him, Zhao Zixin, Wang Jiaying, Zhang Yi, and Cai Shen, who are called the four partners of Fushe, are all the presidents of Fushe's various places.He is Zhang Fu's right-hand man, and has been committed to the expansion of Fushe.

After the five people entered the painting boat, the painting boat left the shore and sailed into the Qinhuai River.

Zhang Fu Da Ma sat down at the head of the throne, and Ma Xiao Da, the master, served by his side.The four wives lived on the left and right, looking at Zhang Fu.The rest of the servants, singers, etc., all exited the cabin.

"How are things going, everyone?" Zhang Fu sat upright, looking at his four partners on the left and right.

Zhao Zixin was the head of the four matches, and he clasped his hands first and replied: "Mr. Hui, the students have widely publicized the Jinling Conference after the provincial examination, and some celebrities have also sent invitations, and most of them readily agreed."

Zhang Tie nodded and looked at the next one.

"Mr. Hui, the number of students in the student branch has expanded to more than [-]. Especially recently, children have signed up to join our rehabilitation club." Wang Jiaying replied respectfully.

"Children's Examination is the appeal of my revival, but you can't be limited to the increase in the number of children, you should pay more attention to opening up the relationship between counties and prefectures, so that all the lists we submit to them can get the results of the student examination. Qualifications." Zhang Fu frowned slightly after hearing Wang Jiaying's answer, and suggested loudly.

Wang Jiaying knew in her heart that what Zhang Fu said was right, because as long as she passed the children's test and had the status of a student, that is, a scholar, she could be exempted from corvee labor, and would not have to bow down to officials, nor would she be punished.Therefore, although there is no qualification to be an official, many people still want to obtain the status of a student.

Fushe, or Yingshe, the predecessor of Fushe, has seen this point, and then exerted great efforts to control Tongshi, becoming the largest society in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and finally merged with other societies to form Fushe.

In the imperial examination era, there were four levels of examinations: Children's Examination, Township Examination, General Examination, and Palace Examination. Among them, important officials from the imperial court participated in the rural examination and above, so it was not easy to control.

Only the children's test is administered by local officials, and Fushe uses money, beauties, and various connections to bribe relevant people in the local area. In addition, many people in Fushe are also capable, and various test samples will be given in advance for them to study. .Therefore, anyone who participates in the restoration of the society has a greater chance of becoming a scholar than others.

"The students understand that it's just that the funds are insufficient, so the relationship with the county and the government is a little bit unsatisfactory." Wang Jiaying explained in a low voice with her head down.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fu reached out and took out some banknotes from his sleeve, divided them into a small pile, and handed them to Wang Jiaying, saying, "Funding is not a problem, but it must be used for the benefit, understand?"

Wang Jiaying immediately stood up, stretched out both hands to respectfully take the bank note from Zhang Bie, and promised, "Please rest assured, sir, the students understand."

Zhang Fu nodded when he heard this. He was quite assured of Wang Jiaying's ability, so he just explained it like this, and never did any checks or anything like that.

The reason why he did this may also be because the money was not his own, anyway, it was all paid by those salt merchants.

At the beginning, I was full of enthusiasm, and together with my fellow countryman Zhang Cai, I entangled many students and criticized the remnants of the eunuch party. Assets, set on fire.This attracted the attention of salt merchants and was chosen as their agent.

From then on, with the money funded by the salt merchants and his own skills, he worked hard.Nowadays, only the scholars of Ming Dynasty dare to address him as Mr. Xizhang when they see him.

However, Zhang Fu was not satisfied with this point. One of his greater ambitions was to manipulate the Ming Dynasty's government and be the only one.

Zhang Fu is not a person who is used to daydreaming, because according to his plan, after a few years, it is really possible for him to realize it one day.

In history, he was known as the "emperor" of the Ming Dynasty among the people, and he was even more powerful than the real emperor Chongzhen.

Just imagine that the officials of Ming Dynasty were either Jinshi or Juren, and Jinshi and Juren came from students.If on that day, most of the students in the world are from the Fushe, then the Jinshi and Juren after a few years will not all be from the Fushe?

"Sir, sir?" Seeing Zhang Fu smiling slightly, Fushe Sipei didn't respond to Zhang Yi and Cai Shen's report, so he could only call softly.

Wang Xiaoda had already been Zhang Fu's bedside person. Seeing this situation, he knew that Zhang Fu had lost his mind, so he stretched out his slender hand and tugged at the corner of Zhang Fu's sleeve.

Zhang Fu was pulled over by Wang Xiaoda, and he came to his senses from the memories, but he didn't show any embarrassment, and said to Sipei: "Very good, very good, I am very satisfied, just don't forget two points. "

"Please show me, sir." The four assistants respectfully asked for instructions in unison.

"First, we must continue to maintain relationships with counties and governments at all levels to ensure that our Fushe people can pass the child test; second, we must recruit more famous scholars to work together for the growth of Fushe."

"Yes, sir." The four players replied in unison.

"I also have a piece of good news to tell you. This is of great significance for attracting celebrities to join our restoration society. You can take advantage of this time when scholars are gathering in Jinling, and you can tell them a thing or two when you are recruiting those celebrities." Zhang Bound proudly announced.

Hearing the four pairs, he was a little surprised, staring at Zhang Fu, waiting for his next words.

"My lord, what's the good news?" Wang Xiaoda asked on behalf of the fourth wife.

Zhang Fu reached out and patted Wang Xiaoda's jade face lightly, and then said: "The important minister sent by the imperial court to Jiangnan to preside over the rural examination is the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru, and I have a very good relationship with him..."

When he said this, he didn't say any more.It was obvious what the meaning of the unfinished words was. When the four partners heard it, they were overjoyed. They all congratulated Zhang Fu and wished that the Jinling Conference would be a great success.

Zhang Fu was also not modest, and smiled triumphantly, and then arranged some preparations for the meeting in detail to his proud general, and then went to hang out with Wang Xiaoda by himself.
