There was nothing to say all night, and Wu Kangyuan came to the door early in the morning the next day.

At this time, Zhao Hao was still sleeping lazily in the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking, "Why did you come so early?" ”

"Send an invitation to my uncle, didn't he tell Ling Zun yesterday that he would invite you to dinner today?" Wu Kangyuan handed an invitation with a red note in green leather to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and took a look, only to see that it was written:

'I want to have dinner at noon on the fifteenth, and the money is broad, and I dare to be lucky, but he is late.

——— right is respectfully presented, and the doctor of Zhongshun and the Shuntian Mansion come to the Zazi when they come. ’

Seeing Wu Shilai's three words, the corners of Zhao Hao's mouth showed a faint look. He had already guessed that Wu Kangyuan's uncle was one of the 'three sons of Wuwu', and the famous Wu Shi came.

The 'Three Sons of Wuwu' are as famous as Zhao Jin's 'Four Advisors of Yuezhong', and they are all outspoken ministers who dared to admonish in the Jiajing Dynasty and were imprisoned. On the list of resumptions in the first year of Longqing, there is naturally a big name from Wu Shilai, and the order is still before Zhao Jin.

Now Zhao Jindu has been promoted to seven levels in a few months, and he has become the Guanglu Siqing from the third grade. Wu Shilai, as Xu Jie's beloved apprentice, naturally will not be left behind. He was promoted from the seventh-grade engineering to the fourth-grade Shuntian Fucheng, and he was also promoted seven levels in a row.

And Zhao Hao knew that like Zhao Jin, Shuntian Mansion Cheng was just a stepping stone for him to move, and soon after the New Year, he would be promoted to the right capital of Nanjing, the imperial history, and the commander Caojiang.

At that time, the defense of the entire Yangtze River will be in his hands, not to mention that he will later return to the imperial history of the left capital, and Zhao Hao will have to take the line with him no matter what.

Of course, he absolutely did not admit that he gave Wu Kangyuan a long-term private room in Weijixian in order to hook this Yanei...... That's obviously a thank you for your righteous action.

~~

"A dozen today?" Zhao Hao put the invitation on the head of the bed and retracted the hot quilt.

"Fifteen." Wu Shilai replied.

"Ah, isn't that today?" Zhao Hao sat up and said with a smile: "You didn't say it earlier."

"I also found out last night, my uncle specially asked for a day off and invited you to come to the house for dinner."

"Don't say anything. Let's go. Zhao Hao became more and more sure in his heart, Wu Shilai should have something to find himself, but he couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, what was the other party doing with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child? Do you want to let yourself tutor his son's homework?

When he arrived at the place, he stopped guessing and let the two apprentices serve to dress and wash.

After some tricking, an unkempt bed-ridden boy turned into a beautiful son.

"Master seems to be a little more handsome again." Hua Shuyang held the mirror and smiled.

"What are these words? Master has always been the most handsome! Wang Wuyang glanced at him and corrected.

"Yes, yes, Master has always been the most handsome." Hua Shuyang hurriedly changed his words.

"You two can be eunuchs after you have shaved your beards." Zhao Hao scolded with a smile and said: "This little mouth is so sweet, when I go out to be an official in the future, I have nothing to worry about as a teacher." ”

~~

After breakfast, he took the gifts he had prepared a long time ago, and got into the carriage with Wu Kangyuan hanging the lantern of 'Shuntianfu Cheng'.

The carriage left Chunsong Hutong, went north along the street, and exited the inner city from Chongwen Gate.

When we arrived in the outer city, the speed of the carriage slowed down. Zhao Hao opened the curtain and took a look, only to see a number of beggars wearing torn cotton jackets and tied rotten straw ropes on the street, begging for food with their families around the passing carriage.

"Are you blind? Even the carriage of Shuntianfu dared to stop it! The coachman waved his whip angrily and drove away the beggars who had gathered around.

The beggars were frightened, so they got out of the way and got entangled in other cars.

Begging scenes are not uncommon in Jinling, but Zhao Hao has never seen so many beggars on the street. Looking further on both sides of the street, I saw that under the wall facing the street there were densely packed broken sheds and thatched huts, and in each shack lived a nest of unkempt and yellow-skinned homeless people, who seemed to have the meaning of permanent residence.

"The last time I went to Beijing to take the exam, there weren't so many beggars in Beijing. I heard that it was because the Tatars entered the interior of the country this autumn, and the common people fled to the capital in order to take refuge. ”

I heard Wu Kangyuan explain in a deep voice from the side: "At the end of last month, the Tartars withdrew from the pass, and the martial law in the capital was lifted long ago, but the people refused to go back. My uncle is worried about this. ”

"Why don't you go back?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

"The food at home has been robbed by the Tartars, what will you eat when you go back? If you stay in Beijing, there is a porridge factory in the imperial court, and large families will also give alms. It's much easier to eat than anywhere else. ”

"That's right." Zhao Hao nodded, believing that with Xu Ge's current style of cherishing his reputation, he would not let too many people starve to death under his nose.

"Besides, there are only a few people who ask for food, and most people still want to be faced." I heard Wu Kangyuan continue: "They are stranded and don't come back, the picture is that it is easy to find work in Beijing, even if they don't have any skills, they can still go to Xishan to dig coal." At the feet of this son of heaven, as long as you are willing to exert your strength, you will not die of hunger after all. ”

"Digging coal in the West Mountain?" Zhao Hao's heart moved.

"Yes, it is the Mentougou area in the west of the capital, where there are countless high-quality coal, and there have been people mining there since the Liaojin period. Up to now, most of the heating in Beijing has relied on coal transported from Xishan. "Wu Kang is far-sighted and well-informed, and no matter what he talks about, he is always the truth.

"How many miners are there in West Mountain?" Zhao Hao asked.

"I don't know, but there are 20,000 or 30,000 people." Wu Kangyuan replied: "This is still the result of the imperial court has been restricting the mine owners from recruiting displaced people, otherwise it will be more." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile: "I'll take a look another day." ”

"What's so nice about that, you think, how dirty the mine is." Wu Kangyuan didn't know why Zhao Hao was interested in coal mines, but he just said it casually, and he didn't take it to heart.

While speaking, the carriage stopped in an alley next to the Temple of Heaven, and Wu Kangyuan led Zhao Hao into a five-entry official mansion.

~~

Zhao Hao came when he met Wu in the back house of Wu's mansion, which showed that the other party treated him as his own nephew, which flattered Zhao Hao.

"Nephew Zhao Hao visits Uncle Wu."

Zhao Hao was busy meeting him with a junior courtesy, Wu Shilai held him up, and said with a hearty smile:

"Hahaha, I've heard the name of my nephew for a long time, and I finally saw it today! No need to be polite, no need to be polite......"

Zhao Hao didn't really want to worship, so he got up and looked at Wu Shilai. But seeing that he has a thin figure, a straight waist, and a face engraved with the wind and frost of the years, his eyes have not changed the sharpness when he impeached Yan Song.

is upright, and has a very standard image of a clean official.

He was looking at Wu Shilai, and Wu Shilai was also looking at Zhao Hao, only to see that this young man had red lips and white teeth, and his face was like Fu powder. With a well-cut blue brocade robe and a pure white cloak covered with a white fox, he is really a young man who doesn't know who, full of blue musk deer.
