Due to the long days and short nights in summer, and the water level of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal rises due to the summer flood, the return journey is obviously much faster than the dry season in winter, and the road is also very smooth. Follow? Dream?. lā

When passing through Nanjing, Lin Haoran chose to stay here, first, he wanted to take the tiger girl to appreciate the style of the old capital, and secondly, he wanted to visit Yin Tai, the mentor of the township test.

Nanjing City, the number of residents ranks first in the world, the majestic and majestic city gate, the city wall that winds about 70 miles, took 30 years to build, and the momentum is not weaker than that of Beijing City.

This huge ancient city is like a magnet, and people from all directions rush here, entering through the four gates.

There are ordinary people, well-dressed wealthy businessmen, students who come to study abroad, students who go to the exam, and rich daughters or sons who have returned from the trip, and there is a long queue here.

Lin Haoran, who was dressed in scholar's costumes, lined up with Hu Niu and others, but he lacked the majesty of court officials and the grace of a young scholar, and he still held a paper fan in his hand to drive away the summer heat.

Looking at the official sedan chair whizzing past him, he was not in a hurry, like a student going to the exam.

Although he can also enjoy the privilege of entering the city directly, he doesn't want to be too ostentatious, after all, he is on the way to Leizhou Mansion to take up his post, and Nanjing City is not on the route to his post.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling-shaped resort.

Lin Haoran has some expectations for Nanjing, and also plans to take a trip to the Qinhuai River. Listening to the conversations of the people around him, he found that the people in Nanjing were more enthusiastic about topics such as the Oiran Conference and the Poetry Club, but they did not pay much attention to the current political topics.

There were two scholars whispering in front of him, and a scholar with flying eyebrows stuffed the book into the arms of another scholar, the scholar was like a thief, looking left and right with a very weak heart, and when Lin Haoran's eyes met, his face was as red as a pig's liver.

What kind of character Lin Haoran is, how vicious his eyes are, in his previous life, he had already cultivated the realm of "there is a code in the film and no code in the heart", so he naturally knows what kind of book it is.

I have to say that due to the reduction of printing costs, it is now a golden age, and it is also a diamond age of sexual literature, such as "The Legend of Ruyijun" was born in this period.

The scholar market is undoubtedly extremely hungry for works like "The Biography of Ruyi Jun", and the potential purchase ** must be higher than "Talking about the Past and the Present", or even higher than the Four Books and Five Classics.

Lin Haoran also saw this potential market at the beginning, but he didn't dare to do it in the end. Not to mention that after the matter is exposed, it will really ruin his idol status in the eyes of scholars, and it will be difficult to bring him huge economic benefits and fame.

Since there is no copyright protection, there is bound to be a large number of pirated books in the market. As for fame, this is even more impossible, why can't I find the author of "Golden Vase Plum" until now?

In fact, not only sexual literature, but even if it is traditional, the author was not recognized by the mainstream at all during this period, and even received a crazy blow from the defenders.

The success of the journal "On the Past and the Present" founded by Lin Haoran was due to the transcendent status of the Hanlin Academy among scholars, and on the other hand, the fact that his content could be elegant, and the current affairs policy he introduced met the needs of the upper class scholars.

It is worth mentioning that although the base number of low-level scholars is large, the "right to speak" is in the hands of upper-class scholars, and the more upper-level scholars will have more right to speak, which is contrary to market demand.

It is precisely in this way that "Talking about the Past and the Present" can become a holy book for scholars, while it is difficult for the emerging ones to ascend to the Hall of Elegance, unless Lin Haoran takes the risk of throwing out a shocking work to break this status quo.

It's a pity that Lin Haoran doesn't plan to "play with fire" in the short term, maybe wait for "Talking about the Past and the Present" to lay a solid channel foundation before acting.

The team was slowly moving forward, and it was about to be their turn to enter the city.

"This brother, I'm Deng Yongqian from Songjiang Mansion!" Several soldiers in student uniforms came over to observe the people in the front team, and one of the soldiers led by him bowed towards Lin Haoran.

"Luckily!" Lin Haoran returned the salute, and he felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"This is a little heart, can Brother Tai give us three positions?" Deng Yongqian swept a few people behind him, handed a tael of silver to Lin Haoran and smiled.

"Don't let it!" Lin Haoran didn't take the silver, and said directly with a straight face.

Hearing that he was so ignorant, a scholar couldn't help but say loudly: "Don't be ignorant of what you kid does, Brother Deng is a famous talent in our country, and his father is the world-famous poet Deng Changsheng!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Deng Yongqian's waist straightened, and his face clearly showed pride. But I don't know if he is proud of his reputation as a "great talent", or proud of his father, or both.

Lin Haoran looked up at Deng Yongqian, and suddenly realized: "You are Xu Dashou's son!" ”

What's going on?

Everyone thought that Lin Haoran would look in admiration, and then hurriedly ordered his three entourages to give up their positions, but they didn't expect that it would be such an indifferent reaction.

"Do you know my father?" Deng Yongqian did not get angry immediately, but looked at the young scholar in front of him uncertainly, and found that this young scholar seemed to be unusual.

Lin Haoran didn't want to cause too many misunderstandings, not to mention that he still respected Xu Changsheng, so he smiled and said: "Your father and I are colleagues of the Hanlin Academy, and he often mentions you, saying that you are the most competitive among the five brothers, and you are quite similar to your father!" ”

Colleague?

Several scholars with Deng Yongqian were stunned, and they couldn't turn around for a while.

Deng Yongqian looked at Lin Haoran seriously, but he knew what this "colleague" represented, and then bent down and asked, "Dare to ask, are you the great Ming Wenkui Lin Haoran Lin Ruoyu?" ”

"Exactly!" Lin Haoran did not hide it, and immediately admitted his identity, but he did not expect that he would meet the son of Hanlin Xiu Deng Changsheng here, which was also a bit fateful.

Deng Yongqian no longer doubted, and immediately saluted: "See...... I've seen Uncle Shi! At this time, which is the image of the previous high-minded talent, the appearance of a younger generation.

Daming is a country that pays attention to seniority, Lin Haoran and Deng Changsheng are colleagues, and the title Deng Yongqian is not inappropriate. In fact, he is a shrewd person, his old father is old, and Lin Haoran is so young, if he can climb the relationship, it will be of great benefit to his career.

Yes?

The corners of the mouths of several scholars with Deng Yongqian opened wide, and they looked at Lin Haoran in shock, they couldn't have imagined that their idol "Kaoshen" suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who said Da Ming Wenkui just now, where is Lin Wenkui?"

"Brother Chen, come here, Lin Wenkui is here!"

……

A loud voice in the back team asked loudly, and a scholar came back to his senses with tears in his eyes to convey the good news.

With a hula, a group of people "Brother Chen" walked out of the team and rushed towards here. When I saw Lin Haoran, I was full of respect and closeness, a living image of a brain-dead fan.

"Line up!"

An officer watched the commotion at the city gate and immediately ran over and reprimanded angrily.

Da Ming, who used civil power to control martial arts, not only made civilian officials high, but also looked down on soldiers along with the soldiers, turned a deaf ear to the officer's words, and continued to rush towards Lin Haoran, and dozens of people ran over.

Fortunately, dozens of soldiers arrived to stop these restless soldiers.

At this time, it was Lin Haoran's turn, he took out the official seal from his arms, the city gate guard glanced at Lin Haoran, and then walked towards the officer with the official card, asking if this official was fake, he had never seen such a young five-rank official in his life guarding the city gate.

The officer also muttered in his heart, but listening to the names of these soldiers, he also guessed Lin Haoran's identity, so he personally returned the official to Lin Haoran and reported to his home.

Lin Haoran threw his hand towards the official, and then hurriedly entered the city with Hu Niu and the others, leaving this group of students who suddenly became crazy, he didn't guarantee that this group of people would not kiss him wildly on his handsome face.

It's just that that night, groups of scholars walked on the streets, looking for Lin Haoran, the great Ming Wenkui, with lanterns.

These scholars are also powerful, and they have learned that Lin Haoran has been released to the latest appointment of the prefect of Leizhou and the secretary of Guangdong City, so they guessed that he was passing through here, and his identity was not bad.

The reason why they are so actively looking for Lin Haoran is that in addition to chasing stars, there is only more than a month left to leave their hometown. Unlike the readers of later generations, the readers of this era are still "superstitious", thinking that if they can meet Lin Wenkui at this time, they will be able to get a little bit of literary atmosphere, so as to take the high school entrance examination in the township.

No matter what the attempt was, when Lin Haoran entered this ancient city, this ancient city was also boiling.

On the same night, the bright lights of the Qinglou by the Qinhuai River illuminated the entire riverside, and "Mulan Ci" was endless, as if it was calling Lin Haoran to go and talk about it.

Lin Haoran actually wanted to go, but in the end, he gave up, afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep with the Oiran, so he slept with a group of scholars.

The next morning, Lin Haoran went directly to the Yamen of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to meet Yin Tai.

Yin Tai was not implicated in last year's township test fraud case, but instead got a blessing in disguise, taking over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites of Wang Yong, and became a second-class member of the imperial court.

This can go further, in fact, it has a little credit from Lin Haoran, after all, he personally ordered Xie Yuanlang, and finally won the Huiyuan and the champion in a row, which not only cleared his suspicions, but also had the merit of recognizing talents.

Lin Haoran took the tiger girl with her, planning to let the tiger girl show her face in front of Yin Tai, and at the same time let this girl have more knowledge, so that she can become the most knowledgeable little girl in the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Niu didn't appreciate it, and reluctantly followed, blaming Lin Haoran for ruining her plan to buy fishing gear.

The yamen of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites was obviously dilapidated, and the front of the door seemed lonely, even the soldiers guarding the door were very scattered, and when they entered it, there were some idle officials playing chess around.

Compared with the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, there is indeed an atmosphere of decay and decadence here.

In fact, these officials cannot be blamed for being lazy, too many of them are losers in the political struggle, and this is basically their last stop. In the frustration of the hopelessness of returning to Beijing, they can only spend their last political time here.

But I don't know if I learned that Lin Haoran was coming, or if it was always like this, Yin Tai, who was wearing a second-grade official robe, sat at the desk, his face was ruddy, and he was looking at it with a file.

Although Yin Tai is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has no position and no power, and if he wants to be transferred back to the capital to serve as the secretary, he is afraid that it will be difficult to ascend to the sky. On the other hand, Lin Haoran has become a powerful five-grade member of the imperial court at a young age, and his future is limitless.

The two sat together, and Yin Tai did not pose as a superior and subordinate official, but got along more with a master-apprentice relationship.

"You just arrived yesterday, and the whole Yingtian was a sensation!" Yin Tai entertained Lin Haoran while making tea, and said with a teasing smile.

"Shame on the students!" Lin Haoran sat across from the tea table and pretended to be modest.

"Lianzhong Liuyuan, the first person in the past, you are destined to leave a name in history, and you are also honored as a teacher!" Yin Tai looked at the boiling gas, and his face also flashed with red light.

"This is a lot of the teacher's insight, so that the students can understand the yuan!" Lin Haoran complimented.

"Huh...... It's also the will of heaven, otherwise you are not among the ten volumes, how can the emperor make you the champion! Yin Tai poured tea for Lin Haoran, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing it was to the eye.

"It's a fluke!" Lin Haoran also had palpitations, and he really almost missed Lian Liuyuan at the beginning.

"You don't have to be too modest, to have such a good result is also a testament to your ability, but you are outcast!" Yin Tai put down the teapot, and the words came to an abrupt end.

"Please teach the teacher!" Lin Haoran naturally knew the way of talking in this era, and immediately showed that he was humbly asking for advice, so that the teacher could beat and scold and speak freely.

"This outing! It's an opportunity, but it's also mud, do you know? Yin Tai picked up the teacup and blew the hot air, and then said in a straight tone.

"Disciple understands!" Lin Haoran nodded, and also said his experience: "It's just that the disciple's age is too young, and the path from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites may not be suitable for me, so it is better to be a affairs officer and strive to do something practical for the people!" ”

"Well, it's nice that you can see through that!" Yin Tai took a sip of tea, and then continued with a heartfelt heart: "Being young is your advantage, but it is also your shortcoming, especially since you are already a Hanlin servant, it is difficult to make an inch in the short term, so it is better to jump out now!" It's just that there are many local ills, where do you plan to start? ”

"Kill the traitor!" Lin Haoran did what he liked.

"No!" Yin Tai put down the teacup, but shook his head directly.

"Please ask the teacher for advice!" Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, and immediately gave up.

"After you take office, you must first carry out a purge! There are many eyes and ears in the government, so be careful! Then watch first, then fight, so that you can win with one blow and it is not easy to make mistakes! Yin Tai pointed to his eyes and taught the authentic Tao seriously.

"Students are taught!" Lin Haoran said.

Regarding the entry into the Leizhou Mansion, he is indeed inexperienced. Although he will become the "Emperor of the Soil", the local forces may not obediently submit to him, and this will inevitably fall into a conflict of interests.

If he is only greedy for money, he can collude with the local forces and live in peace with them. It's just that if you want to do it, you have to find a way to defeat the local forces, or take them as junior brothers.

Yin Tai was very enthusiastic, and had already notified the family to set up a banquet, and took him and Hu Niu back to the house to have lunch together, and the master and apprentice continued to talk about many topics.

Lin Haoran found that Yin Tai was very interested in "Talking about the Past and the Present", but he didn't know if Yin Tai also wanted to start a journal in Nanjing, so he didn't keep it. It is also to tell the original idea and how to do it next.

After only staying in Nanjing City for two days, Lin Haoran took everyone directly by boat to continue south to Suzhou City.

It has been July when they arrived in Suzhou City, and they did not stop in Suzhou City, but they did not dare to take a sea boat anymore and chose to take the inland official road.

From Chuzhou Mansion into Fujian, they went directly to Yanping Mansion, then passed through Shaxian County and Yong'an, entered the territory of Tingzhou Mansion, and took a boat south to Chaozhou Mansion in Guangdong.
