Borrow the day to change the day

First of all, the reason why Sun Chuanting came to recruit refugees was because he believed that the original anti-smuggling soldiers were old fritters, and letting them continue to serve as anti-smuggling soldiers would only discredit himself.

Don't have refugees with small families, because it is easier to commit suicide if you have a small family, and it is easy to reach out to support your family; or merchants and smugglers directly start from their small families, thereby pulling the smuggling soldiers into the water. both.

Secondly, regarding literacy, it is because Sun Chuanting saw the new army in the capital, and he attributed the strong combat effectiveness displayed by him to the fact that soldiers generally learn to read and understand, which makes them so different.And he himself needs such anti-smuggling soldiers.

When Sun Chuanting selected a group of qualified middle-aged refugees to go back, when they passed the wharf, many wealthy merchants recognized Sun Chuanting.These people immediately filled their faces with charming smiles, and bowed their knees to greet him: "Master Sun, you are really a role model for Ming officials to come out in person on such a hot day!"

"Master Sun still remembers to help the refugees in his busy schedule. His benevolent heart really makes me ashamed!"

"Master Sun, what is my boss, I would like to treat you to a cup of tea, can you move some time?"

"..."

Sun Chuanting seemed to be deaf and ignored anyone.If someone who is not long-sighted blocks his horse's head for this reason, he will stare at that person with cold eyes, which can make the back of the blocking person feel scared and get out of the way.

When Sun Chuanting walked away, these merchants looked at Sun Chuanting's back and couldn't help muttering: "He has a dead face and doesn't talk about human sophistication at all. He is who he is!"

"That's right, I've never seen such a person before, so I'm not afraid of offending some people he can't offend!"

"..."

Some merchants said angrily about Sun Chuanting behind his back. Although he couldn't hear it, he could imagine it.

Sun Chuanting had already made up his mind: No matter how old he is, can he surpass the emperor?The current imperial court is no longer that of a few years ago. As long as one acts upright, one is not afraid of someone making tricks behind the scenes.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting knew that there were people from Dongchang watching in the dark, so the emperor would naturally know right from wrong.He is not afraid of problems with the people in Dongchang, because Dongchang is also watched by the mysterious ICAC.In the current situation, it is basically impossible for everyone to fight together.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting secretly admired the person who created the current surveillance system.There is overt supervision and there is covert supervision. Every official has a god hanging over his head. If he wants to do bad things, he has to weigh it first.

But Zhong Jinwei, the instigator whom Sun Chuanting admired, was still worrying about feudal North America.

He thought about it carefully and found that there was an important link missing.Therefore, at his initiative, Emperor Chongzhen issued an imperial edict.But Zhong Jinwei felt uneasy and decided to go over to see the specific arrangements in person.

So, under the escort of Gu Baichuan and others, he went to the official office east of Daming Gate, which was actually not far from Meridian Gate.

Not long after, he came to the south of Qin Tianjian, the official office in the east of the Ministry of Rites.The official office has three gates, all facing west, opposite to the screen wall.

"Master Hou, this is the place." Gu Baichuan pointed to the horizontal plaque of the official office and said.

Zhong Jinwei reined in his horse and looked up. The vermilion horizontal plaque with the words "Tai Hospital" written in black paint on it was indeed the destination of his visit this time.

So, he got off his horse and walked directly to the gate.

A group of knights arrived at the gate. Although there was no rush of horseshoes, there was still a lot of movement.The doorman could hear clearly and hurried out to see what was going on.

He fixed his eyes and saw that the person was dressed in Marquis costume, and there were several guards in different costumes behind him, especially the costumes of the Dongchang fan servants were even more eye-catching.When he saw it, he knew that the Marquis of Zhongxing had arrived, because there was only one Marquis guarded by Dongchang in Ming Dynasty.

Of the two gatekeepers, one hurried inside to report, while the other hurried up to greet him.

"Master Hou is here, and the villain has gone to the inside to inform the court envoy and all the adults to welcome you." The doorman lowered his head and said respectfully.

Zhong Jinwei continued to walk forward with a smile, and said, "No, just lead the way, just go straight there."

The court envoy is only a fifth-rank official, and in the eyes of the gatekeepers, he is a high-ranking official.But to Marquis Zhongxing, he was just an insignificant official.

Therefore, no matter what Zhongxing Hou said, he could only do it, and the gatekeeper hurriedly led the way according to his words.

After entering the gate, Zhong Jinwei saw the Temple of Earth on the left, the servant's office on the right, and bypassing the screen wall, there is a lobby.

At this moment, the envoys and judges of the Imperial Hospital and other major officials had already arrived in the lobby, and when they saw Hou Zhongxing turn out of the screen wall, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Your official sees Lord Hou."

If it was in the early Ming Dynasty, according to the etiquette system, the third level of the official university would have to meet.But now it has been more than 200 years, and basically no one abides by the etiquette system in the early Ming Dynasty.

Zhong Jinwei was also happy not to be bowed down by others. As a later generation, he is still quite awkward about kneeling, no matter whether he kneels others or others kneels himself.

After some greetings, Zhong Jinwei came to the main seat in the third lobby and sat down.His guards were scattered in every corner of the lobby, only Gu Baichuan and Li Laosi stood behind Zhong Jinwei.

The court envoy and court judge sat on both sides of Zhong Jinwei. After serving tea, Zhong Jinwei asked, "How is the physical examination this year?"

Under his suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen decreed as early as last year that the Tai Hospital would organize a physical examination for the ministers of the court and central government once a year.

This year's physical examination has just been completed, so Zhong Jinwei asked about this situation first.

Upon hearing this, the court envoy turned to Zhong Jinwei and replied respectfully: "All the adults in the court are okay, but the Lord Shoufu and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry..."

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard the envoy's tone, as if there was something wrong with Wen Tiren and Xu Guangqi, there must be nothing wrong with these two.He hastily interrupted the envoy's words and asked: "Why, what happened to the two of them?"

Seeing Hou Zhongxing's excitement, the court envoy was a little speechless, but he still patiently explained: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Mr. Shoufu is only busy with state affairs. He has been tired for a long time and needs to be recuperated. Otherwise, he will become sick from overwork if he procrastinates."

Zhong Jinwei was relieved at first, but he was also worried about the physical condition of another great scientist of Ming Dynasty: "What about Master Xu Guangqi?"

The face of the envoy back this time was more serious than before, and he replied: "According to the diagnosis of several imperial doctors, Mr. Xu is not in good health. Therefore, it is a sign of the disease. If it is not discovered early, it may be life-threatening."

"Then what should we do?" Zhong Jinwei asked immediately with a change of color.Because he was worried, he didn't pay attention to what the envoy said, which actually told him that he was fine.

This cannot be blamed on Zhong Jinwei, because he knew that in the original history, Xu Guangqi died of illness in the past few years.It is precisely because of this that Zhong Jinwei came up with the example of a physical examination.
