The list of examiners of the provincial examinations in the two capitals and thirteen provinces has become the most concerned thing in the capital's officialdom nowadays. As the news spread, it caused an uproar.

"Isn't this a fool? The examiners of the two capitals have already made regulations!"

"You can't say that, I think it's good to break the rules!"

"I thought the examiners of the two capitals had the least suspense, but I didn't expect that something happened to happen!"

...

Faced with the news that came out, officials and scholars in the capital were also talking, with voices of approval and opposition, and there were also many who were just joining in the fun.

Although many conservatives bombarded Lin Shiran and caused incidents, Lin Shiran has always shown himself as a reformist person, which has long given people a certain impression. In addition, this matter is not too out of order, but has not been criticized.

How intense.

Among these voices, no one criticized Lin Qingran for his favoritism and fraud. After all, Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's disciple, and Yin Shidan was Li Chunfang's friend of the same year. Both of them had nothing to do with Lin Qingran.

In fact, by heart, Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shidan were both Jinshis of the 26th year of Jiajing. They were also officials of the Hanlin Academy and were specifically qualified to serve as the chief examiner of the provincial examinations of the two capitals.

If the chief examiner of the provincial examination in the two capitals is replaced by these two officials, although it does not conform to the consistent standards of appointment, it is not too outrageous, so things have not risen to the level of principle.

It is precisely because this debate did not show a one-sided trend. Instead, both sides held their own opinions, which made the candidates for the examiners of the two capitals a new focus of discussion.

Time has quietly arrived at the end of the first lunar month. It is the chilly spring season, which makes the pedestrians on the street look trembling, so the entire capital seems a little desolate.

Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

A sedan chair came in from outside, and Xu Jie, wearing thick clothes, got out of the sedan chair. He originally planned to stay in Xiyuan tonight, but he chose to take a shift with Li Chunfang and returned to his mansion.

"Dad, why are you back suddenly?" The tall Xu Fan came out after hearing the news and asked with surprise.

Xu Jie did not respond, but went straight to the study room of the back house and took the tea from the butler. Then he asked Xu Fan, who followed him in, lightly: "What is the candidate for the chief examiner of the Liangjing Township Examination now?

The sound of the wind?"

"What else can it be done? Of course, some people don't mind the big deal and want to break the rules! As far as I can tell, I don't have to pay attention to that kid, how can he let him do this!" Xu Fan sat down on the chair next to him and said disapprovingly.

.

Xu Jie held the teacup in his hand and glanced at him and said, "What do you know?"

"I'm right!" Xu Fan responded unjustly to Xu Jie's gaze.

In his opinion, my father was a conservative school and he had never mentioned innovation until now when he came to the stage. Now that Lin Weiran is so stupid, he naturally cannot let that boy be happy, and he must have to put his face on him well.

Xu Jie held the tea lid in his hand and poured hot tea water lightly, sighing slowly: "If it is really no, I'm afraid someone will hold a grudge against me!"

"Zhang Taiyue? He is your student, right?" Xu Fan knew that his father valued Zhang Juzheng very much, but he said loudly in confusion.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said lightly: "Yin Shidan!"

"Yin Shidan? Who is he? He is just a small sixth-grade Zuo Zanshan. We need to be afraid of him?" When Xu Fan heard that his father was referring to such a small person, he immediately disagreed with disapproval.

Xu Jie held the tea lid and poured tea water lightly, and reminded him in anger: "He is King Yu's teacher!"

Yin Shidan was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He was elected as a Shujishi. He was first appointed as a Hanlin Academy for a review. He is currently a sixth-rank Zhanshifu Zuo Zanshan. This is naturally an unimportant official position, but he was 41 years old in Jiajing.

In 2019, he was selected as a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion.

If it weren't for the past few years, this little person would have to be ignored. But now King Jing has been sent to the fiefdom. Although King Yu has not been crowned as the crown prince, he is already the true crown prince.

Although he is the noble chief minister, he has to look at it for a long time, so he has to make some trade-offs. Between breaking the principle of appointing a chief examiner in the two capitals and Yin Shidan, the teacher who offended King Yu, who offended King Yu.

, very light and heavy.

Of course, this is actually a very important reason, and Xu Jie needs time to make a judgment.

"Dad, I don't know when this happened! Are you thinking too long?" Xu Fan frowned slightly and said incomprehensible.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea and responded firmly: "No one has a long-term plan, he will have immediate worries! Yang Jiefu, the elders of four dynasties and the chief assistants of two dynasties, but what will happen to this dynasty?"

"Dad, did that kid really get what he wants?" Xu Fan asked unwillingly, knowing that his father has always been cautious in his work.

"Let's see how things develop first! In fact, Lin Ruoyu's fuss did not do much good for him, even if I agree to this plan, there would be no loss!" Xu Jie put down the teacup and seemed full of wisdom.

It was in this case that Lin Weiran was not the biggest beneficiary, which made him hesitate. He was never an impulsive person, and judging the situation was his strength.

Just like when he saw that the emperor favored Yan Song, he always chose to tolerate and even flattered Yan Song. When he found out that Jiajing began to hate the elderly Yan Song, he chose to take action decisively.

Now, he did not make a decision in a hurry, but wanted to see the evolution of the situation and make the decision that best suits him.

Xu Fan suddenly remembered something and immediately said seriously: "Dad, uncle just wrote a letter saying that the rice merchant in Guangdong suddenly purchased 50,000 shi of rice from our family and asked if there was any big news in the court?"

"Fifty thousand stones?" Xu Jie's brows frowned immediately. This was not the amount that ordinary rice merchants could buy.

"They originally asked for 200,000 shi, but my uncle was worried about something in the court, and he was worried that the Guangdong rice merchant would steal our rice shop business, so he only sold them 50,000 shi!" Xu Fan added again

road.

Xu Jie held the teacup in his hand and thought seriously. He felt that this matter was not simple, but he didn't know where the problem was.

"Dad, how should we reply to uncle?" Xu Fan looked at his father without saying a word, and immediately asked again.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea and instructed him: "You write back and tell your uncle that there has been no big news in the court recently, but let him keep the rice. Sometimes the silver may not be stronger than rice and grain!"

"Okay, I understand!" Xu Fan agreed immediately and said.

As his father's status rose, especially from the second auxiliary to the prime minister in ten years, the Xu family has become the veritable number one big family in the southeast and even the entire Ming Dynasty, with 200,000 acres of fertile land and the southeast.

The largest weaving workshop.

Although the wealth is not better than the Yan family in Jiangxi, it is not much different. The Yan family's land is mainly in Jiangxi, and many of them are thin fields, but they are not as fertile as the land in Songjiang. Moreover, their Xu family almost covers it.

The entire Songjiang Cotton Workshop.
