Taixing City has undergone several wars and the county has also undergone migration.

This watermelon-shaped blue brick city is nicknamed "Melon City" by the people. Now the blue bricks look brand new. In order to defend against Japanese pirates, the county magistrate Yao Bangcai received nearly 30,000 taels of official silver from the court and was ordered to build Taixing New

City wall.

The new city that has been rebuilt has a circumference of four miles and is as high as six or seven meters. It is like a fortress. There are five gates in total, with a moat, and all five gates have stone bridges for the people to enter and exit.

Lin Weiran entered the city from Chengjiangmen to the south, but there was a wide horse road in front of him. The flags on the streets on both sides were waving, and the people were shopping for goods in this lively street.

"Foshan iron pot is durable and has a fair price!"

"The best Songzhoubu, don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Leizhou soap, used to use smooth skin, tender flesh, the first choice for cleansing body!"

...

Today is the ruins period, and the hawking sounds on both sides of the streets are endless, showing the flowers of the southeast county.

Lin Weiran, dressed as a young man, also walked around and took a look. Sometimes he chose in front of a shop or a stall and would buy some goods.

From an understanding of economics, the good and bad of a local economy are directly related to the local consumption capacity. The more numerous the types of goods there are, the more it can prove that the people here live a wealthy life.

Meng Zhao followed Lin Qingran all the way, looking at the lively scene in the streets in front of him, but he couldn't help but sigh: "This Taixing is famous, but he didn't expect it to be such a prosperous scene!"

Through the observations along the way, Lin Weiran also felt the same way.

There was a stall next to the place where the two of them stood. The young scholar had just completed a transaction and responded contemptuously: "Brother, this is your ignorant, you have never heard of me.

Are there three phoenixes of Zhang's family?"

"I have issued a Mengzhao. People from Panyu, Guangdong, who first arrived in Guizhou, did not hear of the three phoenixes of Zhang's family. I also asked my brother for advice!" Mengzhao was not angry and seemed polite and authentic.

Seeing the other party so polite and dressed very well, the scholar also regained the demeanor of a scholar and said, "It turns out that my brother came from Guangdong, so it's no wonder that Zhang's three phoenixes." After a pause, he talked and said with ease.

: "The so-called three phoenixes of Zhang's family in Taixing! One is Zhang Yu, whose courtesy name is Fengju, and who was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi. He became the governor of the Left of Henan; the other is Zhang Chong, whose courtesy name is Pengju, and Zhang Yu's second brother, Hongzhi tenth

In the eighth year, he was appointed as the governor of Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi; one was Zhang Yuhui, whose courtesy name was Huju, and his eighth brother Zhang Yu, was appointed as the Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhengde, and he became the governor of Henan."

"The three brothers are all Jinshi. If they were not heard by their own ears, it would be incredible!" Meng Zhao's eyes glared slightly, and he sighed in surprise.

Lin Junran was also slightly surprised. The difficulty and fairness of the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were both extremely difficult and fair. Most of them were fathers and sons like Xu Jie and Xu Fan, but it was extremely rare for a family of three brothers to be admitted to the Jinshi together.

If an ordinary family can produce three Jinshi in a row, even if the Zhang family is just a farmer, it can also become a famous family in the family incense or a place.

However, I didn't expect that such a powerful family appeared in the Ming Dynasty. All three brothers won the title of Jinshi, and two of them became the second-rank Henan governor.

The scholar looked at the surprise Meng Zhao showed and felt a little complacent, but then shook his head gently and said, "It's just a pity that the descendants of the Zhang family are not good enough and have not inherited the glory of the three phoenixes of the Zhang family. No one has ever been there yet.

He won the fame of Jinshi."

Meng Zhao smiled bitterly, knowing that this was a common phenomenon, but he looked up at the hanging copybook and bowed to the scholar and said in a compliment: "Brother, he has a good handwriting and will definitely succeed Zhang in the future.

The footsteps of the three phoenixes of the family are on the Golden List of Beijing!”

People carry people in flower sedan chairs, which is a way of dealing with the world.

The scholar shook his head gently and said in a lonely manner: "Since the three phoenixes of Zhang's family, the literary fortune has been declining, and there has been no Jinshi. I only want to eat for now!"

Meng Zhao smiled awkwardly, but didn't know how to comfort him.

But listening to the word "Wenyun", he couldn't help but look at Lin Qingran. Since his teacher was six times in a row, Guangdong's literary fortunes were clearly showing signs of great prosperity. Guangdong scholars and Jinshi were promoted to the times, and he

It seems that I can also use this article to be named on the Golden List.

Lin Weiran sighed helplessly when he heard Taixing's current situation.

He naturally did not believe that Wenyun said that many things were inevitable. With the unfair release of educational resources, this seemingly fair and just imperial examination has actually been gradually monopolized by the official and business families.

Just like the top universities in later generations no longer have children from poor families, it is difficult for poor families to be ranked on the list. Taking last year's spring exam as an example, the children of two important officials of the court, Yang Bo and Pan En, both won the Jinshi, while the top scholar Shen Shixing

His father was once the prefect of Suzhou.

Taixing County is naturally superior to other regions, but in the entire Nanzhili area, it can only serve as cannon fodder. Unless the Zhang family in Taixing can continue to cultivate successful children, this kind of Jinshi will not be able to do so.

The situation will continue.

The streets of Taixing are crisscrossed with crosses, similar to the Leizhou City in the past.

Turning into a street, the group came to a salt shop.

The salt shop is like an ordinary shop, but the door is obviously larger. Several baskets of snow-white salt are placed on a brick table, and a shopkeeper leads two friends to sell.

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Junran and Meng Zhao dressed in extraordinary clothes and took the initiative to come out and greeted: "Two guests, do you want salt?"

Meng Zhao took a step back slightly and looked at Lin Liangran.

The shopkeeper was a clever person, and immediately laughed and prepared to greet Lin Weiran.

Lin Weiran reached out and took a piece of salt from the bamboo basket, and asked casually: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this salt?"

"Young Master, my salt price is the most reasonable. This high-quality salt only costs one cent and six cents per pound of silver!" The shopkeeper immediately quoted.

"Why is this Huai salt so expensive? I just came from Guangdong, and it's much cheaper than you!" Lin Yanran frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him and said.

"Young Master, this salt is not comparable! The price of salt depends not only on quality, but also on the region, but also on the year! Like last year's salt price, it sold for up to three or four cents of silver!" The shopkeeper shook his head gently, and was serious.

Said .

Lin Xuran saw that he seemed to be alert to the mastery, so he nodded gently, lowered his head and said carelessly: "Then I will give me ten kilograms, first see how good your salt is! I met a salt at the dock yesterday.
