Chapter 127 War Influence(1/4)
Du Yuan was walking on the street and saw smiling people.
The war has been won, and the people feel that the dark clouds above their heads have disappeared.
He, too, was always worried that Commander-in-Chief Su would be defeated in the war. A rogue official like him would never end well.
At the battle of Jianmen Pass, he saw the light of day, and now Commander Su completely occupied Sichuan.
He is completely at ease with his work and no longer has to worry about his future.
Du Yuan saw several teachers leading a group of primary school students, reading newspapers to passers-by.
This is a practical class for students, allowing them to experience society and come into contact with all kinds of people.
They waved military flags in their hands and told passers-by impassionedly about the various battles fought by Soviet commanders in Sichuan.
Du Yuan came to Yuelai Restaurant, and his friend Lin Wenjing invited him to have dinner with him.
"Brother Du, I'm here."
Du Yuan saw someone calling him and found Lin Wenjing sitting in the box.
Lin Wenjing is a young man in his thirties.
He picked up the Erguotou on the table and poured Du Yuan a glass of wine.
"Brother Du is still very courageous. I was too hesitant to take advantage of that opportunity."
Lin Wenjing regretted that the Tongcheng Mansion was short of officials at that time and recruited officials through the recruitment hall.
Because he was afraid, he also wanted to take the examination for the Ming Dynasty's Juren, and did not want to leave a bad reputation of being attached to the rebels.
He did not go to the recruitment hall.
Now we can see that the Tongling Mansion is developing at an extremely fast speed and has already occupied Sichuan.
Suhe separated one side and officially became a decisive force.
It is possible to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.
Lin Wenjing began to regret that she was too timid.
"Brother Wen Jing, don't worry, the imperial examination will be held in the Commander's Office soon.
According to our internal information, it should be after the autumn harvest this year.
The test questions are mainly practical. I heard a few words from Wang Shangshu.
It seems that there will be separate examinations, and based on different knowledge, you can enter different yamen.
Mathematics is very important. It is best to learn the primary school curriculum, which will give you more opportunities.
You should learn more about the Hanzhong School of Xinxue, it will be good for your imperial examination."
When Du Yuan received Lin Wenjing's invitation, he knew that he was asking him about the imperial examination situation again.
When the news of Commander Su's victory came back to Hanzhong, he accepted banquets from several people.
These scholars, who had been hesitating before, saw that Commander Su had conquered Sichuan and his position was stable.
They all became very anxious and tried their best to find out about the situation of the imperial examination.
These people saw that Commander Su would at least become a separatist force and that troubled times were coming, so they made bets based on their own circumstances.
Wang Shangshu gave them a way to reveal some of the imperial examination information to the outside world.
This is public information within the Commander's Office, confidential information, and it is impossible for Du Yuan to obtain it.
Without Wang Shangshu's explanation, Du Yuan did not dare to disclose any information.
He sent his boss to prison and his whole family was exiled.
His boss wanted to rebel and asked him to join.
Reporting to your boss is a last resort.
If you do this, your reputation will not be very good.
Especially his current boss, he seems a little displeased.
Du Yuan saw that this time Commander Su conquered Sichuan.
There are now many official positions in Sichuan, so he requested to be sent abroad and find a magistrate in Sichuan.
Lin Wenjing listened carefully to Du Yuan's story, he nodded and said:
"I have joined the Hanzhong School a long time ago. It is an open school and anyone can go there to take classes.
If you want to withdraw from the Hanzhong School, you do not need to inform in advance and you can withdraw freely at any time.
Anyone who considers himself to be a Hanzhong School student can declare to the outside world that he is a Hanzhong School student.
The Hanzhong School is a school of thought, not a political party similar to the Donglin Party."
Lin Wenjing was well prepared. He and many students went to Hanzhong Middle School to attend classes.
The Hanzhong School is anonymous here, and you can also buy books and study secretly.
It is very convenient to learn the ideas of the Hanzhong School.
Du Yuan took a sip of wine and blessed: "Brother Wen Jing, you are more knowledgeable than me.
I took the imperial examination many times back then and my results were very poor.
You can only go to a big family and be a private school teacher.
Brother Wen Jing has been elected to high school many times, but he was replaced by someone else in his name.
Commander Su welcomes talents, and with Wen Jing's ability, it will not be difficult to pass the imperial examination."
When Lin Wenjing heard Du Yuan talk about something, a frustrated look appeared on his face.
This was the saddest thing for him. He took the exam twice in a row and it was announced that all the essays he wrote had failed, but the name on it was not his own.
The articles he wrote were stolen and replaced by others.
When he saw the family backgrounds of these people, he had no idea of declaring customs.
The grandfathers of these people were either cabinet ministers or senior officials in the six ministries.
He is just the son of a small gentry who owns dozens of acres of land, and there is no way he can fight against these people.
Lin Wenjing drank a large glass of Erguotou, just hoping that the imperial examination in the Tongling Mansion would be less shady.
He believed that Commander Su was also a far-sighted person and should maintain the fairness of the imperial examination.
…………………………
Qian Fuwen and Ding Wannian were drinking wine in the living room of Qian's house.
"Brother Ding, this is a treasure stored in our winery. I usually don't want to drink it.
It is a very pure high-quality liquor. Once this batch of stocks is finished, there will be no more Erguotou to drink."
Ding Wan came to Qian Fuwen's family and made an engagement to his son Ding Degui.
His son has made great achievements in the military. After this war, he will basically be knighted.
Ding Wannian is very satisfied with what he has done. He, the least promising child, has now become the most promising.
He was previously engaged to a family in Henan, but the other party immediately broke off the engagement.
He communicated with the Qian family through a matchmaker, and both of them fell in love with each other. They had just completed the marriage negotiations and got married after being ennobled.
Ding Wannian looked at the wine on the table. He knew some of the inside story about the wine, so he poured a glass and took a small sip.
“Grain winemaking has been completely banned by the government, and now even sorghum and sweet potatoes are not allowed to make wine.
I guess Sichuan is not too optimistic either. The food reserves can only feed the population and livestock.
Brewing is not a hard requirement, we can only wait until food is abundant.
I heard that your family drank this wine and killed a famous Baylor in Houjin."
When Qian Fuwen heard this, he laughed twice happily.
"You also heard the news from Hou Jin.
He should be a drunkard. He drank too much Erguotou and died of drunkenness.
This kind of situation is rare. I guess that Baylor from Houjin drank poisonous wine because he offended them profusely.
There is absolutely no problem with the Erguotou we brew at home.”
Qian Fuwen dares to say this now. All the Erguotou brewed with moldy grains was sold to the grassland.
He didn't expect that this kind of wine would be so toxic that it could kill people.
Now the winery no longer sells Erguotou made from moldy grains.
Moldy grains were brewed into industrial alcohol and sold to Taoist Master Ma Qiankun for use as chemical raw materials.
This is something that Commander Su personally explained.
Commander Su said that alcohol is made from moldy grains, and when the alcohol encounters high temperatures and concentrated sulfuric acid, the aflatoxin in it will die.
