Chapter 53 The Tiger Fox Dog

Chapter 53 Tiger and Fox Dog

Author: Fat Bird Goes First

Chapter 53 Tiger and Fox Dog

Needless to say, I naturally chose to study.

[The skill "Literature" has been learned, and the combined evaluation level is Lv3, 1/00]

It's a pity that Su Ze is now a graduate student and has been reduced to the level of a literature lover. If he was in the third year of high school, he could still be rated as Level 4.

The skills that appeared this time gave Su Ze a new surprise. The skill level before traveling can also be counted as level experience!

The scientific knowledge I learned in my previous life can also be experienced as long as I can find the location where the skill is triggered!

Just how can those skills like "physics" and "chemistry" be triggered?

There are no physical chemistry laboratories in this era?

Literature is good. Literature is a skill that includes many categories. Prose, poetry, drama, and even popular Chinese novels can all be classified as literature.

There has been a division between academia and literature in the Ming Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, famous political figures often played the role of writers. Occasionally, unsuccessful writers like Li Bai were often recruited by the court.

Literature and politics are closely connected.

But by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, literature had gradually stepped down from the altar. With the development of the booming citizen economy, some literati who served ordinary people began to appear. The so-called "secular studies" and "emotional studies" made great achievements.

With the development of China, full-time writers far away from the court and politics have emerged.

For example, Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu, the four most famous scholars in Wuzhong, have not been officials, but they still enjoy great reputation among the people. Tang Bohu's painting can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, and Zhu Zhishan's retouching fee can reach one tael of silver a piece.

Character.

The people of the Ming Dynasty almost had a star-chasing attitude towards talented people. From dignitaries to ordinary people, they were willing to donate money and land to support them. This was especially true in the Jiangnan area where literary style flourished.

If this skill is improved, it will be of great benefit whether it is making money or taking imperial examinations. Is it really impossible to copy "Dream of Red Mansions"?

Su Ze put away these messy thoughts and decided to take his time to develop his liver skills. The top priority was Chang Ning Wei's "disaster".

First of all, there is the patrol censor sent by the imperial court. This censor is already on his way, and the censor is a major matter for the imperial court. It is not Su Ze, who is not even a child, and ordinary people can interfere and influence it.

What was left was the county clerk Xu Shisheng mentioned in the family tree. Su Ze asked Hai Rui about this clerk.

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said:

"I have heard of this Xu Shisheng before. He is a scribe in the Yahufang of Nanping County."

"Teacher actually heard of it?"

Although Hai Rui refused to accept Su Ze as his disciple, Su Ze still treated Hai Rui with the etiquette of treating a teacher.

In private, Hai Rui did not refuse. He nodded and said, "The Nanping County government office has one tiger, one fox, and three dogs."

"This Xu Shisheng is the 'fox' of the county government. He is cunning and cunning. The three successive county magistrates have entrusted him with important tasks, taking charge of the county government's tax collection."

Taxation is the most important matter related to the assessment of local officials. The three county magistrates have entrusted Xu Shisheng with the taxation matter, which is enough to show the influence of this guy in the county government.

A tough opponent!

Although the Changning Guard was a military guard, the Ming Dynasty was now dominated by the wealthy and powerful, and Yu Dayou had to bribe Shangguan to protect himself, not to mention that Lin Mojun was only a small household.

I just don't know what the grudge between Xu Shisheng and Chang Ningwei is, so Su Ze plans to ask his old grandpa when he goes back.

Su Ze also became interested in the situation in Nanping County Government. He asked: "Teacher, who are the one tiger and the three dogs?"

Hai Rui said: "Yihu is Li Hu, the leader of the Minzhuang in the Zhuangban. He was originally an idle Luohanjiao in Nanping County. After being recruited into the Zhuangban by the former magistrate, he was in charge of the Minyong in Nanping County. He once led fifty Zhuangban

A man who defeated hundreds of Japanese pirates was even awarded a prize by the government."

"Li Hu is as strong as a tiger, has a character that hates evil, but also has a cruel nature. He often causes trouble in Nanping County because of his merits. The people fear and rely on him, so he is called a tiger."

So it turns out that this Li Hu is also a heroic figure.

"What about the three dogs?"

"The three dogs are the three brothers of the Chen family in Beishan. Now all three of them are serving in the county government. The three of them know how to bully their subordinates and their superiors. They are as docile as dogs in front of Shangguan, and they are extremely cruel to the people. The people of Nanping County look down on them the most.

Call it the Three Dogs.”

Hai Rui frowned and said:

"Didn't your Changning Guards defeat the Beishan Chen family in a battle with weapons? These three Chen brothers will definitely retaliate. You should be careful these days."

Su Ze quickly said: "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance. I will have to be careful when I meet these five people in the future."

Hai Rui continued: "As long as you are a cunning and subordinate official, you will not be in trouble. There is a huge difference between officials and clerks. Your main focus now should be on studying."

Su Ze nodded quickly, and then Hai Rui said:

"When you come to the county school in the middle of the month, I will explain to you the key points of the county exam. If you have any questions when you go back to study, you can write them down. I will answer your questions then."

Su Ze said sincerely: "Thank you very much, teacher."

After bidding farewell to Hai Rui, Su Ze met Lin Xianyang from the county school. Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang:

"Brother Xian Yang, is there a shop that forges ironware in the county?"

"Ironware? The ironworks in the county are expensive. We all bought wrought iron and went back to forge it."

Su Ze just wanted to use his skills, so he said:

"I'm rushing back today. It's already getting late. Why don't we start back to Changningwei tomorrow? I have several new tools and I want to see if the county iron workshop can build them."

After listening to Su Ze's explanation, Lin Xianyang was able to dispel his doubts. Although Changningwei also had blacksmiths, their craftsmanship was really hard to describe, and the farm tools they made could only be used.

Lin Xianyang said: "We produce iron in Nanping, and there are many blacksmiths with good skills. However, the ironworks are basically outside the city. It is already getting late, so we should start early."

Lin Xianyang took Su Ze out of the city. There was a row of houses near the city wall. He could only see thick black smoke coming out of the chimneys. A gust of wind blew over and Su Ze couldn't open his eyes.

Su Ze also didn't expect that Nanping's mining and iron industry would reach such a scale.

Lin Xianyang also said with some pride: "Nanping's iron crown is the best in Fujian! Before the Japanese pirates, there were still merchants from the south of the Yangtze River coming to Nanping to buy iron. These were still small iron works. If you go to the mine, the sound of mining is endless day and night.

, and there are thousands of people in official traps."

A pit is a mine, and an official pit is an official mine. Su Ze was surprised by the prosperity of industry and mining in Nanping. He and Lin Xianyang visited several blacksmith shops and finally triggered the skill.

[I found the location "Iron Workshop" and can learn the skill "Blacksmithing". Do you want to learn it? 】

"yes."

After finishing the iron workshop, Su Ze took Lin Xianyang to a sugar-making workshop and learned the skill of "sugar-making" again.

The four of them stayed at their relatives' house for another night, and Su Ze struggled with the lice for another night. The next day, Su Ze yawned and finally set foot on the road back to Changning Guard.
